Isaiah 27:9-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 Therefore through this Jacob’s iniquity will be (A)forgiven;
And this will be [a]the full price of the [b](B)pardoning of his sin:
When he makes all the (C)altar stones like pulverized chalk stones;
When [c]Asherim and incense altars will not stand.
10 For the fortified city is (D)isolated,
A [d]homestead forlorn and forsaken like the desert;
(E)There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down and [e]feed on its branches.
11 When its (F)limbs are dry, they are broken off;
Women come and make a fire with them,
For they are not a people of (G)discernment,
Therefore (H)their Maker (I)will not have compassion on them.
And their Creator will not be gracious to them.

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)
