On that day man will (A)look to his Maker
And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.
And he will not look to the (B)altars, the work of his hands,
Nor will he look to that which his (C)fingers have made,
Even the [a](D)Asherim and incense altars.
On that day [b]their strong cities will be like [c]abandoned places in the forest,
Or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel;
And [d]the land will be a desolation.
