Isaiah 17:7-9

The Voice

⁷ Then, in that day, people will turn to the One who shaped them.
    They’ll look on the Creator, the Holy One of Israel,
⁸ And disregard the things they’d made into gods.
    They’ll turn away from worthless, handmade objects, sacred poles, and incense altars.

⁹ And then, in that day, their great cities will be abandoned
    like defenseless outposts in a hilly forest,
Like those deserted when the Israelites took the land;
    the scene will be eerily quiet and empty.
