If it gives me thorns and briers,
I will march to battle against it.
I will burn it up.

and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:

like chalkstones crushed to pieces;
no sacred poles#27.9 Heb Asherahs or incense altars will remain standing.

Isa 32.13, 14; Jer 26.6, 18 For the fortified city is solitary,
a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;

he who formed them will show them no favor.
