Isaiah 17:7-11

7When that day comes, they will look to their maker, and their eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.

8They won’t look to the altars made by their hands or to the Asherah poles or incense altars which their fingers molded.

9When that day comes, the fortified cities which other people abandoned because of the Israelites will be like abandoned woods and undergrowth. So it will become a wasteland.

10You have forgotten the God of your salvation. You haven’t remembered the rock, your stronghold. Instead, you have planted the best plants and have set out the imported grapevines.

11On the day you plant, you will make it grow. On the morning you set out the seedling, you will make it sprout. But the harvest will become a [rotting] pile on a day of grief and incurable pain.
