Isaiah 27:9

Israel Rescued

⁸ You contended with them by banishing them, by driving them away.
With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the east wind.
⁹ Therefore through this Jacob’s iniquity will be forgiven;
And this will be the full price of the pardoning of his sin:
When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones;
When Asherim and incense altars will not stand.
¹⁰ For the fortified city is isolated,
A homestead forlorn and forsaken like the desert;
There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down and feed on its branches.
