Isaiah 17:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ At that time, people will turn back to their Maker. They will trust the Holy God of Israel to help them.

⁸ They will no longer trust their idols to help them. They made altars for themselves, where they worshipped their gods. They worshipped Asherah at special poles. They made altars where they burned incense. But they will not do those things any more.

⁹ At that time, Israel's strong cities will be empty. People will run away from those cities, as the Amorites ran away from the hills when the Israelites attacked them. Israel's strong cities will become heaps of stones.
