Isaiah 27:7-11
English Standard Version
Isaiah 27:7-11
English Standard Version
7 (A)Has he struck them (B)as he struck those who struck them?
Or have they been slain (C)as their slayers were slain?
8 (D)Measure by measure,[a] by exile you contended with them;
(E)he removed them with his fierce breath[b] in the day of the east wind.
9 Therefore by this (F)the guilt of Jacob will be atoned for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:[c]
(G)when he makes all the stones of the altars
like chalkstones crushed to pieces,
no (H)Asherim or incense altars will remain standing.
10 (I)For the fortified city is solitary,
a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
there the calf grazes;
there it lies down and strips its branches.
11 When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
women come and make a fire of them.
(J)For this is a people without discernment;
therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
he who formed them will show them no favor.

New International Version
Isaiah 27:7-11
New International Version
7 Has the Lord struck her
as he struck(A) down those who struck her?
Has she been killed
as those were killed who killed her?
8 By warfare[a] and exile(B) you contend with her—
with his fierce blast he drives her out,
as on a day the east wind(C) blows.
9 By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned(D) for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:(E)
When he makes all the altar stones(F)
to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles[b](G) or incense altars(H)
will be left standing.
10 The fortified city stands desolate,(I)
an abandoned settlement, forsaken(J) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(K)
there they lie down;(L)
they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off(M)
and women come and make fires(N) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;(O)
so their Maker has no compassion on them,
and their Creator(P) shows them no favor.(Q)

King James Version
Isaiah 27:7-11
King James Version
7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
