If any Israelites or foreigners who live in Israel come to me for advice, I will give them an answer. I, the Lord, will answer them even if they still have their filthy idols, even if they kept the things that made them sin, and even if they worship those statues. This is the answer I will give them: I will turn against them and destroy them. They will be an example to others. People will laugh at them. I will remove them from my people.

I will destroy him and remove him from among my people, Israel.
