Isaiah 17:7-9
International Standard Version
Revival to Come to Israel
7 At that time, men will look upon[a] their Maker, and their eyes will honor the Holy One of Israel. 8 They will not look upon[b] the altars, the products[c] that their own fingers[d] have made, and they will have no regard for Asherah poles[e] or incense altars.[f]
Desolation to the Nations
9 “At that time,[g] their fortified cities
that they abandoned because of the Israelis
will be like desolate places[h] of the forests and hilltops—[i]
there will be desolation.

7 In that day(A) people will look(B) to their Maker(C)
and turn their eyes to the Holy One(D) of Israel.
8 They will not look to the altars,(E)
the work of their hands,(F)
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles[a](G)
and the incense altars their fingers(H) have made.
9 In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth.(I) And all will be desolation.
