Isaiah 27:8

Read in context

Isaiah 27:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.

7 Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?

8 By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.

9 Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: 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 lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
