²⁰ And he took the ox which they had made, burning it in the fire and crushing it to powder, and he put it in the water and made the children of Israel take a drink of it.

¹⁸ And the images will never be seen again.

¹⁹ And men will go into cracks of the rocks, and into holes of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.

²⁰ In that day men will put their images of silver and of gold, which they made for worship, in the keeping of the beasts of the dark places;

²¹ To take cover in the cracks of the rocks, and in the holes of the hills, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.

²² And you will make unclean what is covering your pictured images of silver, and the plating of your images of gold: you will send them away as an unclean thing, saying, Be gone!

⁷ For in that day they will all give up their images of silver and of gold, the sin which they made for themselves.

¹¹ Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.
