Isaiah 27:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ Through this, therefore, the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven,
    and this will be the full price of the removal of his sin:
when he makes all the stones of the altar
    as chalkstones that are pulverized,
when the groves and incense altars
    shall not stand.
¹⁰ For the fortified city shall be desolate,
    a homestead forlorn and forsaken like a wilderness;
there the calf shall graze,
    and there it shall lie down
    and eat its branches.
¹¹ When its boughs are withered, they are broken off;
    the women come and make a fire with them,
for they are not a people of understanding;
    therefore, their Maker will not have mercy on them,
    and their Creator will show them no grace.
