Isaiah 17:9-14
9In that day 1their strong cities will be like 2forsaken places in the forest,Or like 3branches which they forsook before the sons of Israel;And 4the land will be a desolation.10For ayou have forgotten the bGod of your salvationAnd have not remembered the crock of your strong defense.Therefore you plant delightful plantsAnd set them with vine branches of a strange god.11In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in,And in the amorning you cause your seed to flourish;But the harvest will bbe a heapIn a day of sickliness and incurable pain.12Alas, the uproar of many peoplesaWho roar like the roaring of the seas,And the rumbling of nationsWho rumble on like the brumbling of mighty waters!13The anations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters,But He will brebuke them, and they will flee far away,And be pursued clike chaff in the mountains before the wind,Or like whirling dust before a whirlwind.14At evening time, behold, there is terror!Before morning athey are no more.1Such will be the portion of those who pillage usAnd the lot of those who plunder us.
