Isaiah 27:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ But Lord you sent your people to a land far away. That is how you punished them. You blew them away with a storm that came from the east. ⁹ In that way the Lord punished Jacob's descendants for their sins. They are no longer guilty. This will be the result when God has taken away Jacob's sin completely: All the stones in their altars will become small pieces of chalk. There will be no Asherah pole or altars for incense that continue to stand.

¹⁰ The strong city will become empty. Nobody will live there any more. It will be like an empty desert. Young cows will eat the grass there, and they will lie down there. They will eat all the leaves on the branches of the tree.
