And I will cut offH3772 witchcraftsH3785 out of thine handH3027; and thou shalt have no more soothsayersH6049:
Thy graven imagesH6456 also will I cut offH3772, and thy standing imagesH4676 out of the midstH7130 of thee; and thou shalt no more worshipH7812 the workH4639 of thine handsH3027. {standing…: or, statues}
