TSK · Isaiah 27:9

Rather you must destroy their altars, smash their images, and cut down their Asherah poles.

He burned down the LORD’s temple, the royal palace, and all the houses in Jerusalem, including every large house.

He removed the high places and the incense altars from all the cities of Judah. The kingdom had rest under his rule.

They burned down the God’s temple and tore down the wall of Jerusalem. They burned all its fortified buildings and destroyed all its valuable items.

Before I was afflicted I used to stray off, but now I keep your instructions.

Beatings and wounds cleanse away evil, and floggings cleanse the innermost being.

Indeed, they will be ashamed of the sacred trees you find so desirable; you will be embarrassed because of the sacred orchards where you choose to worship.

At that time the Lord will wash the excrement from Zion’s women, he will rinse the bloodstains from Jerusalem’s midst, as he comes to judge and to bring devastation.

You will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away as if they were a menstrual rag, saying to them,“Get out!”

Look, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have purified you in the furnace of misery.

I will eliminate from among you the rebels and those who revolt against me. I will bring them out from the land where they have been residing, but they will not come to the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

Even some of the wise will stumble, resulting in their refinement, purification, and cleansing until the time of the end, for it is still for the appointed time.

I will destroy the cities of your land, and tear down all your fortresses.

And also on that day,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies,“I will remove the names of the idols from the land and they will never again be remembered. Moreover, I will remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.

And this is my covenant with them, when I take away their sins.”

“For the Lord disciplines the one he loves and chastises every son he accepts.”
