“You shall not plant ^H5193 for yourself an [fn]Asherah ^H842 of any ^H3605 kind of tree ^H6086 beside ^H681 the altar ^H4196 of the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430, which ^H834 you shall make ^H6213 for yourself.

So the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 did ^H6213 what ^H7451 was ^H7451 evil ^H7451 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD ^H3068, and they forgot ^H7911 the LORD ^H3068 their God ^H430 and served ^H5647 the Baals ^H1168 and the [fn]Asheroth ^H842.

Now on the same ^H1931 night ^H3915 the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to him, “Take ^H3947 your father’s ^H1 bull ^H6499 H7794 [fn]and a second ^H8145 bull ^H6499 seven ^H7651 years ^H8141 old, and tear ^H2040 down ^H2040 the altar ^H4196 of Baal ^H1168 which ^H834 belongs to your father ^H1, and cut ^H3772 down ^H3772 the [fn]Asherah ^H842 that is beside ^H5921 it;

When the people ^H376 of the city ^H5892 got ^H7925 up ^H7925 early ^H7925 in the morning ^H1242, behold ^H2009, the altar ^H4196 of Baal ^H1168 had been torn ^H5422 down ^H5422, and the Asherah ^H842 which ^H834 had been beside ^H5921 it had been cut ^H3772 down ^H3772, and the second ^H8145 bull ^H6499 had been offered ^H5927 on the altar ^H4196 which had been built ^H1129.

“For the LORD ^H3068 will strike ^H5221 Israel ^H3478, just ^H834 as ^H834 a reed ^H7070 sways ^H5110 in the water ^H4325; and He will uproot ^H5428 Israel ^H3478 from this ^H2088 good ^H2896 land ^H127 which ^H834 He gave ^H5414 to their fathers ^H1, and will scatter ^H2219 them beyond ^H4480 H5676 the Euphrates River ^H5104, because ^H3282 H834 they have made ^H6213 their [fn]Asherim ^H842, provoking ^H3707 the LORD ^H3068 to ^H3707 anger ^H3707.

Then the king ^H4428 commanded ^H6680 Hilkiah ^H2518 the high ^H1419 priest ^H3548, the priests ^H3548 of the second ^H4932 order, and the [fn]doorkeepers ^H8104 H5592 to bring ^H3318 out ^H3318 of the temple ^H1964 of the LORD ^H3068 all ^H3605 the utensils ^H3627 that had been made ^H6213 for Baal ^H1168, for [fn]Asherah ^H842, and for all ^H3605 the heavenly ^H8064 [fn]lights ^H6635; and he burned ^H8313 them outside ^H4480 H2351 Jerusalem ^H3389 in the fields ^H7709 of the Kidron ^H6939 Valley, and carried ^H5375 their ashes ^H6083 to Bethel ^H1008.

He also ^H1571 removed ^H5493 Maacah ^H4601, the mother ^H517 of King ^H4428 Asa ^H609, from the position of queen ^H1377 mother ^H1377, because ^H834 she had made ^H6213 an abominable ^H4656 image ^H4656 [fn]as an Asherah ^H842, and Asa ^H609 cut ^H3772 down ^H3772 her abominable ^H4656 image ^H4656, crushed ^H1854 it, and burned ^H8313 it at the brook ^H5158 Kidron ^H6939.

Now when all ^H3605 this ^H2088 was finished ^H3615, all ^H3605 Israel ^H3478 who were ^H4672 present ^H4672 went ^H3318 out ^H3318 to the cities ^H5892 of Judah ^H3063, broke ^H7665 the memorial ^H4676 stones ^H4676 in ^H7665 pieces ^H7665, cut ^H1438 down ^H1438 the [fn]Asherim ^H842 and pulled ^H5422 down ^H5422 the high ^H1116 places ^H1116 and the altars ^H4196 throughout ^H4480 H3605 Judah ^H3063 and Benjamin ^H1144, as well as in Ephraim ^H669 and Manasseh ^H4519, until ^H5704 [fn]they had destroyed ^H3615 them all ^H3615. Then all ^H3605 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 returned ^H7725 to their cities ^H5892, each ^H376 to his possession ^H272.

And he will not look ^H8159 to the altars ^H4196, the work ^H4639 of his hands ^H3027,

Nor ^H3808 will he look ^H7200 to that which ^H834 his fingers ^H676 have made ^H6213,

Even the [fn]Asherim ^H842 and incense ^H2553 altars ^H2553.

Therefore ^H3651 through this ^H2088 Jacob’s ^H3290 wrongdoing ^H5771 will be forgiven ^H3722;

And this ^H2088 will be [fn]the full ^H3605 price ^H6529 of the [fn]pardoning ^H5493 of his sin ^H2403:

When he makes ^H7760 all ^H3605 the altar ^H4196 stones ^H68 like pulverized ^H5310 chalk ^H1615 stones ^H68;

When [fn]Asherim ^H842 and incense ^H2553 altars ^H2553 will not stand ^H6965.

As they remember ^H2142 their children ^H1121,

So they remember their altars ^H4196 and their [fn]Asherim ^H842

By green ^H7488 trees ^H6086 on the high ^H1364 hills ^H1389.

“I will uproot ^H5428 your [fn]Asherim ^H842 from among ^H7130 you,

And destroy ^H8045 your cities ^H5892.
