[And the festivals and the sabbaths he established in their sanctity], and their polluted ones he burnt in the fire, and the lying prophets which deceived the people, these also he burnt in the fire, and the people who listened to them when (2BA) 5 they were living, he cast them into the brook Cedron, and heaped stones upon them.

Therefore he shall receive an eternal reward, and he shall be glorified with the Mighty One (2BA)
