In context

7In that day men will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.

8They will not look to the altars they have fashioned with their hands or to the Asherahs and incense altars they have made with their fingers.

9In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken thickets and summits, abandoned to the Israelites and to utter desolation.

10For you have forgotten the God of your salvation and failed to remember the Rock of your refuge. Therefore, though you cultivate delightful plots and set out cuttings from exotic vines—

11Though on the day you plant you make them grow, and on that morning you help your seed sprout— yet the harvest will vanish on the day of disease and incurable pain.
