Isaiah 27:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged, and this is all the [a]fruit, the taking away of his sin: when he shall make all the stones of the altars, as chalk stones broken in pieces, that the groves and images may not stand up.
10 Yet the [b]defensed city shall be desolate, and the habitation shall be forsaken, and left like a wilderness. There shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie and consume the branches thereof.
11 When the boughs of it are dry, they shall be broken: the [c]women come and set them on fire: for it is a people of none understanding: therefore he that made them shall not have compassion of them, and he that formed them, shall have no mercy on them.
