Her images have been put to shame, her idols have been shattered.’

So your altars will become desolate and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols.

All of her earnings will be burned with fire
And all of her images I will make desolate,
For she collected them from a harlot’s earnings,
And to the earnings of a harlot they will return.
