Isaiah 18:5
New Living Translation
5 Even before you begin your attack,
while your plans are ripening like grapes,
the Lord will cut off your new growth with pruning shears.
He will snip off and discard your spreading branches.
Isaiah 18:5
New International Version
Isaiah 17:10-11
New Living Translation
10 Why? Because you have turned from the God who can save you.
You have forgotten the Rock who can hide you.
So you may plant the finest grapevines
and import the most expensive seedlings.
11 They may sprout on the day you set them out;
yes, they may blossom on the very morning you plant them,
but you will never pick any grapes from them.
Your only harvest will be a load of grief and unrelieved pain.
Isaiah 17:10-11
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 Living Translation
6 It took root there and
grew into a low, spreading vine.
Its branches turned up toward the eagle,
and its roots grew down into the ground.
It produced strong branches
and put out shoots.
7 But then another great eagle came
with broad wings and full plumage.
So the vine now sent its roots and branches
toward him for water,
8 even though it was already planted in good soil
and had plenty of water
so it could grow into a splendid vine
and produce rich leaves and luscious fruit.
9 “So now the Sovereign Lord asks:
Will this vine grow and prosper?
No! I will pull it up, roots and all!
I will cut off its fruit
and let its leaves wither and die.
I will pull it up easily
without a strong arm or a large army.
10 But when the vine is transplanted,
will it thrive?
No, it will wither away
when the east wind blows against it.
It will die in the same good soil
where it had grown so well.”
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)’”
