Deuteronomy 32:38

32:38 who ate the best of their sacrifices,

and drank the wine of their drink offerings?

Let them rise and help you;

let them be your refuge!

Hosea 2:17

2:17 For ¹  I will remove the names of the Baal idols ²  from your lips, ³ 

so that you will never again utter their names!” ⁴ 

Zechariah 13:2

13:2 And also on that day,” says the Lord who rules over all, “I will remove ⁵  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.

¹ tn The vav consecutive prefixed to וַהֲסִרֹתִי (vahasiroti) “I will remove” (vav consecutive + Hiphil perfect 1st person common singular) introduces an explanatory clause.

² tn Heb “the Baals.” The singular term בַּעַל (ba’al) refers to the Canaanite god Baal himself, while the plural form הַבְּעָלִים (habbé’alim) refers to the manifestations of the god (i.e., idols; BDB 127 s.v. בָּעַל II.1).

³ tn Heb “from her mouth.” In the translation this is rendered as second person for consistency.

⁴ tn Heb “they will no longer be mentioned by their name.”

⁵ tn Heb “cut off” (so NRSV); NAB “destroy”; NIV “banish.”
