Isaiah 17:9-11
Amplified Bible
9
In that day the strong cities of Aram and Israel will be like [a]deserted places in the forest,
Or like branches which they abandoned before the children of Israel;
And the land will be a desolation.
10
Because you [Judah] have forgotten the God of your salvation
And have not remembered the Rock of your Stronghold—
Therefore you plant [b]lovely plants
And set the grounds with vine slips of a strange god,
11
In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in,
And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom;
Yet [promising as it is] the harvest will be a heap [of ruins that passes away]
In the day of sickness and incurable pain.
