¹⁸ And they have gone in thither. And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations -- out of it.

²³ Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for a people, And I -- I am to them for God.

¹¹ Therefore, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah: Because My sanctuary thou hast defiled, With all thy detestable things, And with all thine abominations, Mine eye pitieth not, and I also spare not. Do not even I also diminish?

²⁰ As to the beauty of his ornament, For excellency He set it, And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things -- they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for impurity,

¹² teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age,

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that `are' upon the earth -- whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry --

⁶ because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

⁷ in which also ye -- ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;

⁸ but now put off, even ye, the whole -- anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking -- out of your mouth.

¹⁰ And it hath come to pass in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have cut off thy horses from thy midst, And I have destroyed thy chariots,

¹¹ And I have cut off the cities of thy land, And I have thrown down all thy fortresses,

¹² And have cut off sorcerers out of thy hand, And observers of clouds thou hast none.

¹³ And I have cut off thy graven images, And thy standing-pillars out of thy midst, And thou dost not bow thyself any more To the work of thy hands.

¹⁴ And I have plucked up thy shrines out of thy midst, And I have destroyed thine enemies.

⁸ O Ephraim, what to Me any more with idols? I -- I afflicted, and I cause him to sing: `I `am' as a green fir-tree,' From Me is thy fruit found.

⁷ As to the wall that `is' at the outside, over-against the chambers, the way of the outer-court at the front of the chambers, its length `is' fifty cubits;

⁸ for the length of the chambers that `are' to the outer court `is' fifty cubits, and of those on the front of the temple a hundred cubits.

²¹ As to those whose heart is going unto the heart Of their detestable and their abominable things, Their way on their head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

¹⁸ And I have recompensed a first -- A second time -- their iniquity and their sin, Because of their polluting My land, With the carcase of their detestable things, Yea, their abominable things have filled Mine inheritance.

²² And ye have defiled the covering of Thy graven images of silver, And the ephod of thy molten image of gold, Thou scatterest them as a sickening thing, `Go out,' thou sayest to it.

²⁵ And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin,

²⁶ And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, `A city of righteousness -- a faithful city.'

²⁷ Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness.
