Isaiah 27:9

Israel Rescued

⁸ In measure, in sending it forth, thou strivest with it, He hath taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind, ⁹ Therefore by this is the iniquity of Jacob covered, And this is all the fruit -- To take away his sin, in His setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They rise not -- shrines and images. ¹⁰ For the fenced city is alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There doth the calf delight, And there it lieth down, And hath consumed its branches.
