and this the full price to remove his sin:
When he makes all the altar stones
    like shattered chalk stones,
so that the Asherah poles and incense
    rise no more.

forlorn and forsaken like the desert.
There the calf will graze,
there lie down
and consume its branches.
11 When the boughs are withered,

for it is a people of no understanding.
Therefore their Maker will show them no mercy—
    He who formed them will give them no grace.
