Isaiah 17:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 On that day people shall turn to their maker,
their eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.(A)
8 They shall not turn to the altars, the work of their hands,
nor shall they look to what their fingers have made:
the asherahs[a] or the incense stands.
9 On that day his strong cities shall be
like those abandoned by the Hivites and Amorites
When faced with the Israelites;
and there shall be desolation.(B)
