Isaiah 17:7-9
Easy-to-Read Version
7 Then the people will look up to the one who made them. Their eyes will see the Holy One of Israel. 8 They will not trust the great things they have made. They will not go to the special gardens[a] and altars[b] they made for false gods. 9 At that time all the walled cities will be empty. They will be like the mountains and the forests[c] in the land before the Israelites came. In the past, all the people ran away because the Israelites were coming. In the future, the country will be empty again.
