Isaiah 27:9

Israel Rescued

⁸ In measure, when sending her away, didst thou contend with her: he hath taken her away with his rough wind in the day of the east wind. ⁹ By this, therefore, shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit of the taking away of his sin: when he shall make all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are crumbled in pieces, the Asherahs and the sun-images shall not stand. ¹⁰ For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation abandoned and forsaken like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume its boughs.
