14 The Lord has issued a command concerning [a]you:
[b]Your name will (A)no longer be perpetuated.
I will eliminate the (B)carved image and the cast metal image
From the house of your gods.
I will prepare your (C)grave,
For you are contemptible.”

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