Isaiah 17:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ On that day,
    men will look to their Creator,
and they will turn their eyes
    to the Holy One of Israel.
⁸ They will not gaze upon the altars, their handiwork,
    nor shall they regard what their fingers have made
    the sacred poles and the altars of incense.
⁹ On that day their strong cities will be
    like those abandoned by the Hivites and the Amorites
which they deserted because of the Israelites’ advance;
    their cities will be left desolate.
