“On that day
People will regard their Maker.
Their eyes will look
To the Holy One of Israel.
They will not have regard
For the altars,
The work of their own hands.
They will not look
To what their own fingers have made,
Either the sacred poles
Or the altars of incense.”
The end of idolatry and the turning to the Holy One of Israel will take place on this day of destruction. On that day, they will turn away from the altars that they made with their own hands. They will not look at the idols that they made with their own fingers. They will turn away from the sacred or holy poles or sticks, like totem poles, and the altars with incense on them. Idolatry will become a thing of the past.
