Isaiah 27:7-13
English Standard Version
Isaiah 27:7-13
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.
12 In that day (K)from the river Euphrates[d] to the Brook of Egypt the Lord will thresh out the grain, and you will be gleaned one by one, O people of Israel. 13 And in that day (L)a great trumpet will be blown, (M)and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt (N)will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

New International Version
Isaiah 27:7-13
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)
12 In that day the Lord will thresh(R) from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,(S) and you, Israel, will be gathered(T) up one by one. 13 And in that day(U) a great trumpet(V) will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled(W) in Egypt(X) will come and worship(Y) the Lord on the holy mountain(Z) in Jerusalem.
