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)
Isaiah 17:7-9
New International Version
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.
