He brought the Asherah pole from the house of the LORD to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem, and there he burned it, ground it to powder, and threw its dust on the graves of the common people.

“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”

From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.

Cast me not away from Your presence; take not Your Holy Spirit from me.

Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.

…because of Your indignation and wrath, for You have picked me up and cast me aside.

Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

He casts forth His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?

Their slain will be left unburied, and the stench of their corpses will rise; the mountains will flow with their blood.

Surely for my own welfare I had such great anguish; but Your love has delivered me from the pit of oblivion, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

And I will cast you out of My presence, just as I have cast out all your brothers, all the descendants of Ephraim.

They brought Uriah out of Egypt and took him to King Jehoiakim, who had him put to the sword and his body thrown into the burial place of the common people.

And as soon as Jehudi had read three or four columns, Jehoiakim would cut them off with a scribe’s knife and throw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll had been consumed by the fire.
