⁷ On that day, a person will heed his Maker
and turn his eyes toward the Holy One of Isra’el.
⁸ He will pay no heed to the altars
made with his own hands,
he will not turn toward what his fingers made,
the sacred poles and standing-stones for sun-worship.
⁹ When that day comes, his strong cities,
which others abandoned when Isra’el advanced,
will be like abandoned woods and forests;
they will be laid waste.
