You contended with it.
bHe removes it by His rough wind
In the day of the east wind.
And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar
Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
1Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.
The women come and set them on fire.
For ait is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will bnot have mercy on them,
And cHe who formed them will show them no favor.
That the Lord will thresh,
From the channel of1 the River to the Brook of Egypt;
And you will be agathered one by one,
O you children of Israel.
bThe great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of cEgypt,
And shall dworship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
| << Isaiah 27:9 | Isaiah 27:11 >> |
