13 “So now, I will (A)break his yoke bar from upon you,
And I will tear off your shackles.”

14 The Lord has issued a command concerning [a]you:
[b]Your name will (B)no longer be perpetuated.
I will cut off [c](C)idol and [d]image
From the house of your gods.
I will prepare your (D)grave,
For you are contemptible.”

15 [e]Behold, (E)on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news,
Who announces peace!
(F)Celebrate your feasts, O Judah;
Pay your vows.
For (G)never again will the [f]wicked one pass through you;
He is (H)cut off completely.
