Isaiah 27:10-12
New Living Translation
Isaiah 27:10-12
New Living Translation
10 The fortified towns will be silent and empty,
the houses abandoned, the streets overgrown with weeds.
Calves will graze there,
chewing on twigs and branches.
11 The people are like the dead branches of a tree,
broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots.
Israel is a foolish and stupid nation,
for its people have turned away from God.
Therefore, the one who made them
will show them no pity or mercy.
12 Yet the time will come when the Lord will gather them together like handpicked grain. One by one he will gather them—from the Euphrates River[a] in the east to the Brook of Egypt in the west.

Isaiah 27:10-12
New International Version
Isaiah 27:10-12
New International Version
10 The fortified city stands desolate,(A)
an abandoned settlement, forsaken(B) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(C)
there they lie down;(D)
they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off(E)
and women come and make fires(F) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;(G)
so their Maker has no compassion on them,
and their Creator(H) shows them no favor.(I)
12 In that day the Lord will thresh(J) from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,(K) and you, Israel, will be gathered(L) up one by one.
