Jeremiah 12:12
12:12 A destructive army will come marching
over the hilltops in the desert.
For the Lord will use them as his destructive weapon
against everyone from one end of the land to the other.
No one will be safe.
Leviticus 26:30
26:30 I will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars,
and I will stack your dead bodies on top of the lifeless bodies of your idols.
I will abhor you.
Isaiah 27:9
27:9 So in this way Jacob’s sin will be forgiven,
and this is how they will show they are finished sinning:
They will make all the stones of the altars
like crushed limestone,
and the Asherah poles and the incense altars will no longer stand.
Ezekiel 6:3
6:3 Say, ‘Mountains of Israel,
Hear the word of the sovereign
Lord!
This is what the sovereign
Lord says to the mountains and the hills, to the ravines and the valleys: I am bringing
a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

Micah 1:5-7
1:5 All this is because of Jacob’s rebellion
and the sins of the nation of Israel.
How has Jacob rebelled, you ask?
Samaria epitomizes their rebellion!
Where are Judah’s pagan worship centers, you ask?
They are right in Jerusalem!
1:6 “I will turn Samaria into a heap of ruins in an open field –
vineyards will be planted there!
I will tumble the rubble of her stone walls down into the valley,
and tear down her fortifications to their foundations.
1:7 All her carved idols will be smashed to pieces;
all her metal cult statues will be destroyed by fire.
I will make a waste heap of all her images.
Since she gathered the metal as a prostitute collects her wages,
the idols will become a prostitute’s wages again.”
