Isaiah 27:9-11

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁹ Therefore Jacob’s iniquity^(A) will be atoned for in this way,
and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:^(B)
when he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
¹⁰ For the fortified city will be desolate,
pastures deserted and abandoned like a wilderness.
Calves will graze there,
and there they will spread out and strip its branches.
¹¹ When its branches dry out, they will be broken off.
Women will come and make fires with them,
for they are not a people with understanding.^(C)
Therefore their Maker^(D) will not have compassion on them,
and their Creator will not be gracious to them.
