13 And now I will break off his yoke from you
    and snap the bonds that bind you.’

14 The Lord has commanded concerning you:
    ‘Your name shall be perpetuated no longer;
from the house of your gods I will cut off
    the carved image and the cast image.
I will make your grave, for you are worthless.’

15 [a] Look! On the mountains the feet of one
    who brings good tidings,
    who proclaims peace!
Celebrate your festivals, O Judah,
    fulfil your vows,
for never again shall the wicked invade you;
    they are utterly cut off.
