14 Yahweh has commanded concerning you:

“Your name will no longer be sown.
    I will cut off the idols and images[a] from the temple[b] of your gods;
        I will send you to the grave[c] because you are worthless.”
15 [d] Look! On the mountains!
    The feet of the one who brings good tidings,
        the one who proclaims peace!
“Celebrate a festival, O Judah,
    Fulfill your vows!
For he will not invade you again;
    the wicked one is cut off completely!”
