Isaiah 27:10
Berean Standard Bible
For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
Context
8By warfare and exile * You contended with her
and removed her with a fierce wind,
as on the day the east wind blows. 9Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for,
and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this:*
When he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars
will remain standing. 10For the fortified city lies deserted—
a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken.
There the calves graze, and there they lie down;
they strip its branches bare. 11When its limbs are dry,
they are broken off.
Women come and use them for kindling;
for this is a people without understanding.
Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them,
and their Creator shows them no favor. 12In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates * to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
