8. They shall not turn to the altars, the work of their hands,nor shall they look to what their fingers have made:the asherahs or the incense stands.
9. On that day his strong cities shall belike those abandoned by the Hivites and AmoritesWhen faced with the Israelites;and there shall be desolation.
10. Truly, you have forgotten the God who saves you,the Rock, your refuge, you have not remembered.Therefore, though you plant plants for the Pleasant One,and set out cuttings for a foreign one,
11. Though you make them grow the day you plant themand make them blossom the morning you set them out,The harvest shall disappear on a day of sicknessand incurable pain.
