What does 2 Kings 21:13 mean?

I’m going to judge Jerusalem by the same standard I used for Samaria and Ahab’s family. I’ll wipe Jerusalem clean like someone scrubbing a dish and turning it upside down when they’re done. 2 Kings 21:13 - Modern Text Bible

(God uses a vivid image: Jerusalem will be wiped out, just like Samaria was. The dish metaphor means total removal—nothing left behind.)
