Isaiah 17:8-10
Legacy Standard Bible
8 He will not have regard for the (A)altars, the work of his hands,
Nor will he look to that which his (B)fingers have made,
Even the [a](C)Asherim and [b]incense stands.
9 In that day [c]their strong cities will be like [d]forsaken places in the forest,
Or like [e]branches which they forsook before the sons of Israel;
And [f]the land will be a desolation.
10 For (D)you have forgotten the (E)God of your salvation
And have not remembered the (F)rock of your strong defense.
Therefore you plant delightful plants
And set them with vine branches of a strange god.
