Bible in Basic English

Your hand is lifted up against those who are against you, and all your haters will be cut off.

And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that I will take away your horses from you, and will give your war-carriages to destruction:

I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:

I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:

And I will have your images and your pillars cut off from you; and you will no longer give worship to the work of your hands.

I will have your Asherahs pulled up from among you: and I will send destruction on your images.

And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.
