On that day people shall turn to their maker,
    their eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.(A)
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.
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)

In that day(A) people will look(B) to their Maker(C)
    and turn their eyes to the Holy One(D) of Israel.
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.

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.
