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.

¹⁰ You have proven forgetful of God—how God pulls you clear of danger,
    how God stands firm, like a great Rock where you can take shelter.
Because you have forgotten the one True God,
    you planted pleasant gardens and set out tender vines of a strange god.
