8. You fought with them by banishing them, by driving them away.He has expelled themon the day of the east wind with His fierce wind.
9. Through this, therefore, the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven,and this will be the full price of the removal of his sin:when he makes all the stones of the altaras chalkstones that are pulverized,when the groves and incense altarsshall not stand.
10. For the fortified city shall be desolate,a homestead forlorn and forsaken like a wilderness;there the calf shall graze,and there it shall lie downand eat its branches.
11. When its boughs are withered, they are broken off;the women come and make a fire with them,for they are not a people of understanding;therefore, their Maker will not have mercy on them,and their Creator will show them no grace.
12. In that day the Lord shall thresh from the channel of the River to the stream of Egypt, and you shall be gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
13. And in that day the great trumpet shall be blown, and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria and the outcasts in the land of Egypt shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
