Micah 5:15

Judgment

13 I will also cut off the carved images and sacred pillars from among you, so that you will no longer bow down to the work of your own hands.

14 I will root out the Asherah poles from your midst and demolish your cities.

I will take vengeance in anger and wrath upon the nations that have not obeyed Me.”
Read the whole chapter

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
