7 On that day a man shall look to his Maker,and his eyes shall have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
8 He shall not look to the altars,the work of his hands,nor shall he respect what his fingers have made,either the groves or the images.
9 In that day his strong cities shall be as a forsaken bough and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the sons of Israel; and there shall be a desolation.
10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvationand have not been mindful of the rock of your strength,therefore you plant pleasant plantsand set them with vine slips of a strange god;
11 in the day that you plant it, you carefully fence it in,and in the morning you make your seed to flourish;but the harvest shall be a heap of ruinsin the day of grief and desperate pain.
12 Woe to the multitude of many peoplewho make a noise like the noise of the seas,and the rushing of many peopleswho make a rumble like the rumbling of mighty waters!
13 The nations rumble like the rumbling of many waters;but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off,and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind,and like rolling dust before the whirlwind.
