Exegesis
The final wə-hāyəṯā šəmāmâ {וְהָיְתָ֖ה שְׁמָמָֽה | wə-hāyəṯā šəmāmâ} ‘and it will become desolation’ presents the outcome. English word order preserves Hebrew chaining and vav-consecutive syntax for theological emphasis.
In context — Isaiah 17:9
On that day, his fortified cities will be like a forsaken place in the forest and like a topmost branch which they abandoned because of the children of Israel. And it will be desolation.
