Common English Bible
Isaiah 17:8-10
Common English Bible
8 They will have no regard for altars,
the work of their hands,
or look to what their fingers made:
sacred poles[a] and incense stands.
9 On that day, their strong cities will be like those abandoned by the Hivites and the Amorites;[b] abandoned because of the Israelites. They will be a wasteland,
10 because you forgot the God who saves you,
and didn’t remember the rock who shelters you.
Therefore, plant your pleasant plants,
and set out exotic sprouts;
