Isaiah 27:9

Read in context

Isaiah 27:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

11 When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
