New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 27:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has (A)He struck them?
Or like the slaughter of His slain, [a]have they been slain?
8 You contended with them [b]by banishing them, by (B)driving them away.
With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the (C)east wind.
9 Therefore through this Jacob’s wrongdoing will be (D)forgiven;
And this will be [c]the full price of the [d](E)pardoning of his sin:
When he makes all the (F)altar stones like pulverized chalk stones;
When [e]Asherim and incense altars will not stand.

New International Version
Isaiah 27:7-9
New International Version
7 Has the Lord struck her
as he struck(A) down those who struck her?
Has she been killed
as those were killed who killed her?
8 By warfare[a] and exile(B) you contend with her—
with his fierce blast he drives her out,
as on a day the east wind(C) blows.
9 By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned(D) for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:(E)
When he makes all the altar stones(F)
to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles[b](G) or incense altars(H)
will be left standing.
