Isaiah 27:6-11

In the generations to come Jacob will take root; Israel will blossom and sprout, And they will fill the surface of the world with fruit. [Hos 14:1-6; Rom 11:12] ¶Like the striking by Him who has struck them, has He struck them? Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain? You contended with them by exile, by driving them away [from Canaan]; He has expelled them with His fierce wind on the day of the east wind. Therefore through this the wickedness [the sin, the injustice, the wrongdoing] of Jacob (Israel) will be atoned for and forgiven; And this will be the full price [that God requires] for taking away his sin: When Israel makes all the stones of the [pagan] altars like crushed chalk stones; When the Asherim and the incense altars will not stand. For the fortified city is isolated, A settlement deserted and abandoned like the desert; There the calf will graze, And there it will lie down and feed on its branches. When its branches are dry, they are broken off; The women come and make a fire with them. For they are not a people of understanding, Therefore He who made them will not have compassion on them, And He who created them will not be gracious to them.
