Micah 5:10-15

10 "When that day comes," says ADONAI, "I will cut off your horses from among you and destroy your chariots.

11 I will cut off the cities of your land and lay waste your strongholds.

12 I will cut off sorceries from your land; you will no longer have soothsayers.

13 I will cut off your carved images and standing-stones from among you; no longer will you worship what your own hands have made.

14 I will pull up your sacred poles from among you and destroy your enemies.

15 I will wreak vengeance in anger and fury on the nations, because they would not listen."
