9 Therefore by this means the error of Jacob will be atoned for,+ and this is all the fruit [when] he takes away his sin,+ when he makes all the stones of the altar like chalkstones that have been pulverized, so that the sacred poles*+ and the incense stands will not rise up.+

25 And I will sprinkle upon YOU clean water, and YOU will become clean;+ from all YOUR impurities+ and from all YOUR dungy idols I shall cleanse YOU.+

23 And they will no longer defile themselves with their dungy idols and with their disgusting things and with all their transgressions;+ and I shall certainly save them from all their dwelling places* in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them,+ and they must become my people, and I myself shall become their God.*+

8 “Eʹphra·im [will say], ‘What do I have to do any longer with the idols?’*+

“I myself shall certainly give an answer and I shall keep looking on him.+ I am like a luxuriant juniper tree.+ From me must fruit for you be found.”

2 “And it must occur in that day,” is the utterance of Jehovah of armies, “[that] I shall cut off the names of the idols out of the land,+ and they will no more be remembered;* and also the prophets+ and the spirit of uncleanness* I shall cause to pass out of the land.+
