Good News for Judah

12 Thus says the Lord:
Though they are at full strength and many,[a]
    they will be cut off and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,
    I will afflict you no more.(A)
13 And now I will break off his yoke from you
    and snap the bonds that bind you.(B)

14 The Lord has commanded concerning you:
    Your name shall be perpetuated no longer;
from the house of your gods I will cut off
    the carved image and the cast image.
I will prepare your grave, for you are worthless.(C)

15 [b]Look! On the mountains the feet of one
    who brings good tidings,
    who proclaims peace!
Celebrate your festivals, O Judah;
    fulfill your vows,
for never again shall the wicked invade you;
    they are utterly cut off.(D)
