1:7 All her carved idols will be smashed to pieces;
all her metal cult statues will be destroyed by fire. 1
I will make a waste heap 2 of all her images.
Since 3 she gathered the metal 4 as a prostitute collects her wages,
the idols will become a prostitute’s wages again.” 5
5:6 They will rule 6 the land of Assyria with the sword,
the land of Nimrod 7 with a drawn sword. 8
Our king 9 will rescue us from the Assyrians
should they attempt to invade our land
and try to set foot in our territory.
