Isaiah 27:9-11
Modern English Version
Isaiah 27:9-11
Modern English Version
9 Through this, therefore, the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven,
and this will be the full price of the removal of his sin:
when he makes all the stones of the altar
as chalkstones that are pulverized,
when the groves and incense altars
shall not stand.
10 For the fortified city shall be desolate,
a homestead forlorn and forsaken like a wilderness;
there the calf shall graze,
and there it shall lie down
and eat its branches.
11 When its boughs are withered, they are broken off;
the women come and make a fire with them,
for they are not a people of understanding;
therefore, their Maker will not have mercy on them,
and their Creator will show them no grace.
Isaiah 27:9-11
New International Version
Isaiah 27:9-11
New International Version
9 By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned(A) for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:(B)
When he makes all the altar stones(C)
to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles[a](D) or incense altars(E)
will be left standing.
10 The fortified city stands desolate,(F)
an abandoned settlement, forsaken(G) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(H)
there they lie down;(I)
they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off(J)
and women come and make fires(K) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;(L)
so their Maker has no compassion on them,
and their Creator(M) shows them no favor.(N)
