7. On that day, people will have regard for their maker,and their eyes will look to the holy one of Israel.
8. They will have no regard for altars,the work of their hands,or look to what their fingers made:sacred poles and incense stands.
9. On that day, their strong cities will be like those abandoned by the Hivites and the Amorites; abandoned because of the Israelites. They will be a wasteland,
10. because you forgot the God who saves you,and didn’t remember the rock who shelters you.Therefore, plant your pleasant plants,and set out exotic sprouts;
11. make them grow the day you plant them,and make them bloom the morning you start them.But the harvest will disappear on a day of sickness and incurable pain.
