Remove me from the path of deceit! Graciously give me your law!

Please stop wounding me! You have almost beaten me to death!

Remove perverse speech from your mouth; keep devious talk far from your lips.

Do not turn to the right or to the left; turn yourself away from evil.

Take away from me your noisy songs; I don’t want to hear the music of your stringed instruments.

So do this: Dismiss the kings from their command, and replace them with military commanders.

Now I will inform you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will remove its hedge and turn it into pasture, I will break its wall and allow animals to graze there.

Let me walk among all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and the spotted or speckled goats. These animals will be my wages.

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.
