They served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

They shed innocent blood —

the blood of their sons and daughters

Bel is put to shame;

Marduk is terrified.”

“Let the men who sacrifice[fn] kiss the calves.”

Ephraim, why should I[fn] have anything more

to do with idols?

All her carved images will be smashed to pieces;

all her wages will be burned in the fire,

and I will destroy all her idols.
