Isaiah 18:5
New King James Version
5 For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect
And the sour grape is ripening in the flower,
He will both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks
And take away and cut down the branches.
Isaiah 18:5
New International Version
Isaiah 17:10-11
New King James Version
10 Because you have forgotten (A)the God of your salvation,
And have not been mindful of the Rock of your [a]stronghold,
Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
And set out foreign seedlings;
11 In the day you will make your plant to grow,
And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will be a heap of ruins
In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.

New International Version
10 You have forgotten(A) God your Savior;(B)
you have not remembered the Rock,(C) your fortress.(D)
Therefore, though you set out the finest plants
and plant imported vines,(E)
11 though on the day you set them out, you make them grow,
and on the morning(F) when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest(G) will be as nothing(H)
in the day of disease and incurable(I) pain.(J)
Ezekiel 17:6-10
New King James Version
6 And it grew and became a spreading vine (A)of low stature;
Its branches turned toward him,
But its roots were under it.
So it became a vine,
Brought forth branches,
And put forth shoots.
7 “But there was [a]another great eagle with large wings and many feathers;
And behold, (B)this vine bent its roots toward him,
And stretched its branches toward him,
From the garden terrace where it had been planted,
That he might water it.
8 It was planted in [b]good soil by many waters,
To bring forth branches, bear fruit,
And become a majestic vine.” ’
9 “Say, ‘Thus says the Lord God:
“Will it thrive?
(C)Will he not pull up its roots,
Cut off its fruit,
And leave it to wither?
All of its spring leaves will wither,
And no great power or many people
Will be needed to pluck it up by its roots.
10 Behold, it is planted,
Will it thrive?
(D)Will it not utterly wither when the east wind touches it?
It will wither in the garden terrace where it grew.” ’ ”

Ezekiel 17:6-10
New International Version
6 and it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine. Its branches(A) turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and produced branches and put out leafy boughs.(B)
7 “‘But there was another great eagle with powerful wings and full plumage. The vine now sent out its roots toward him from the plot where it was planted and stretched out its branches to him for water.(C) 8 It had been planted in good soil by abundant water so that it would produce branches,(D) bear fruit and become a splendid vine.’
9 “Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Will it thrive? Will it not be uprooted and stripped of its fruit so that it withers? All its new growth will wither. It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by the roots.(E) 10 It has been planted,(F) but will it thrive? Will it not wither completely when the east wind strikes it—wither away in the plot where it grew?(G)’”
