In that day doth man look to His Maker, Yea, his eyes to the Holy One of Israel look,

And he looketh not unto the altars. The work of his own hands, And that which his own fingers made He seeth not -- the shrines and the images.

In that day are the cities of his strength As the forsaken thing of the forest, And the branch that they have left, Because of the sons of Israel, It also hath been a desolation.

In that day(A) people will look(B) to their Maker(C)
    and turn their eyes to the Holy One(D) of Israel.
They will not look to the altars,(E)
    the work of their hands,(F)
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles[a](G)
    and the incense altars their fingers(H) have made.

In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth.(I) And all will be desolation.
