Isaiah 27:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 This, then, shall be the expiation of Jacob’s guilt,
this the result of removing his sin:
He shall pulverize all the stones of the altars
like pieces of chalk;
no asherahs or incense altars shall stand.
10 For the fortified city shall be desolate,
an abandoned pasture, a forsaken wilderness;
There calves shall graze, there they shall lie down,
and consume its branches.
11 When its boughs wither, they shall be broken off;
and women shall come to kindle fires with them.
For this is not an understanding people;
therefore their maker shall not spare them;
their creator shall not be gracious to them.(A)

Isaiah 27:9-11
New International Version
9 By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned(A) for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:(B)
When he makes all the altar stones(C)
to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles[a](D) or incense altars(E)
will be left standing.
10 The fortified city stands desolate,(F)
an abandoned settlement, forsaken(G) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(H)
there they lie down;(I)
they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off(J)
and women come and make fires(K) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;(L)
so their Maker has no compassion on them,
and their Creator(M) shows them no favor.(N)
