And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.

The verse 8 is found in chapter 17 of Isaiah. Damascus and Ephraim appear united in a judgment that reduces cities and strongholds. Yet a remnant remains that turns its gaze toward the Holy One of Israel and abandons the altars made by its own hands. The contrast shows that judgment can produce a spiritual reorientation toward the true God.

und wird sich nicht halten zu den Altären, die seine Hände gemacht haben, und nicht schauen auf das, was seine Finger gemacht haben, weder auf Ascherabilder noch Sonnensäulen.
Y no mirará a los altares que hicieron sus manos, ni mirará a lo que hicieron sus dedos, ni a los bosques, ni a las imágenes del sol.
Il ne regardera plus vers les autels, Ouvrage de ses mains, Et il ne contemplera plus ce que ses doigts ont fabriqué, Les idoles d'Astarté et les statues du soleil.
E non riguarderà più verso gli altari, opera delle sue mani; e non guarderà a quello che le sue dita avranno fatto, nè a’ boschi, nè a’ simulacri
E não atentará para os altares, obra das suas mãos, nem olhará para o que fizeram seus dedos, nem para os bosques, nem para as imagens.
他們必不仰望自己手所築的祭壇,也不理會自己指頭所造的 亞舍拉 和香壇。
