9 This, then, shall be the expiation of Jacob’s guilt,this the result of removing his sin:He shall pulverize all the stones of the altarslike pieces of chalk;no asherahs or incense altars shall stand.
10 For the fortified city shall be desolate,an abandoned pasture, a forsaken wilderness;There calves shall graze, there they shall lie down,and consume its branches.
11 When its boughs wither, they shall be broken off;and women shall come to kindle fires with them.For this is not an understanding people;therefore their maker shall not spare them;their creator shall not be gracious to them.
12 On that day,The Lord shall beat out grainfrom the channel of the Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,and you shall be gleaned one by one, children of Israel.
13 On that day,A great trumpet shall blow,and the lost in the land of Assyriaand the outcasts in the land of EgyptShall come and worship the Lordon the holy mountain, in Jerusalem.
