Isaiah 27:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ In this way the wrongdoings of the descendants of Jacob are covered up.
This is the way they will turn from their sins—
when they turn all the altar stones into powdered chalk
and no poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah
or incense altars are left standing.
¹⁰ The fortified city is isolated.
The homestead is left deserted, abandoned like the desert.
Calves will graze there.
They will lie down.
They will feed on the branches.
¹¹ When the branches are dried up,
they will be broken off.
Women will come and build a fire with them.
These people don’t understand ⌞these things⌟.
That is why their maker won’t have compassion on them,
and their Creator won’t have pity on them.
