And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
The Lord has made his decision about you: your legacy ends here. No more passing down your name or your reputation. I'm going to destroy all those fake gods you worship, every carved statue, every metal idol. I'm preparing your grave because you're absolutely corrupt.
When you're truly toxic, God will make sure your influence dies with you.
