11 The plants might start to grow on the day you set them out.
    The vines might begin to bud on the morning you plant them.
But even if they do, there won’t be any harvest.
    Instead, there will be sickness and pain that won’t go away.

12 How terrible it will be for the nations that attack us!
    The noise of their armies is like the sound of the ocean.
How terrible it will be for the nations who fight against us!
    They are as loud as huge waves crashing on the shore.
13 They sound like the roar of rushing waters.
    But when the Lord speaks out against them, they run far away.
The wind blows them away like straw on the hills.
    A strong wind drives them along like tumbleweeds.
