Text -- Isaiah 27:5-13 (NET)

Strongs On/Off
Context
27:5 unless they became my subjects and made peace with me; let them make peace with me.
27:6 The time is coming when Jacob will take root ; Israel will blossom and grow branches . The produce will fill the surface of the world .
27:7 Has the Lord struck down Israel like he did their oppressors ? Has Israel been killed like their enemies?
27:8 When you summon her for divorce , you prosecute her; he drives her away with his strong wind in the day of the east wind .
27:9 So in this way Jacob’s sin will be forgiven , and this is how they will show they are finished sinning : They will make all the stones of the altars like crushed limestone , and the Asherah poles and the incense altars will no longer stand .
27:10 For the fortified city is left alone ; it is a deserted settlement and abandoned like the desert . Calves graze there ; they lie down there and eat its branches bare.
27:11 When its branches get brittle , they break ; women come and use them for kindling . For these people lack understanding , therefore the one who made them has no compassion on them; the one who formed them has no mercy on them.
27:12 At that time the Lord will shake the tree, from the Euphrates River to the Stream of Egypt . Then you will be gathered up one by one , O Israelites .
27:13 At that time a large trumpet will be blown , and the ones lost in the land of Assyria will come , as well as the refugees in the land of Egypt . They will worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem .
