Isaiah 17:7-9
Lexham English Bible
7 On that day, mankind will look to its maker,
and its eyes will look to the holy one of Israel;
8 it will not look to the altars,
the work of its hands,
and it will not see what its fingers made
and the poles of Asherah worship and the incense altars.
9 On that day, its fortified cities[a] will be like the abandonment of the wooded place and the summit,[b] which they deserted because of the children of Israel; and there will be desolation.
