Isaiah 27:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ This is how Israel’s guilt will be forgiven;
    this is how its sins will be taken away:
Israel will crush the rocks of the altar to dust,
    and no statues or altars will be left standing for the Asherah idols.
¹⁰ At that time the strong, walled city will be empty
    like a desert.
Calves will eat grass there.
    They will lie down there
    and eat leaves from the branches.
¹¹ The limbs will become dry and break off,
    so women will use them for firewood.
The people refuse to understand,
    so God will not comfort them;
    their Maker will not be kind to them.
