Bible verse
Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
Isaiah 27:7 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 27.
3 I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
4 I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
5 Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me—yes, let them make peace with Me.”
6 In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
8 By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
9 Therefore 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.
10 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.
11 When 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.
