Isaiah 27:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ By expulsion,^[a] by exile you struggled against them;
    with his fierce blast he removed them in the day of the east wind.^(A)
9 Therefore by this the guilt of Jacob will be expiated,
    and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:
when he makes all the stones of the altars
    like chalkstones crushed to pieces;
    no sacred poles^[b] or incense altars will remain standing.^(B)
10 For the fortified city is solitary,
    a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
the calves graze there;
    there they lie down and strip its branches.^(C)
