Isaiah 17:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ “At that time,^[a] their fortified cities
    that they abandoned because of the Israelis
will be like desolate places^[b] of the forests and hilltops—^[c]
    there will be desolation.
¹⁰ For you have forgotten the God of your salvation
    and have not remembered the Rock
        that is your strength.
Therefore even though you plant delightful plants,
    sowing them with imported vine-seedlings,
¹¹ at the time that you plant them,
    carefully making them grow,
the very morning you make your seed to sprout,
    your harvest will be ruined^[d]
        in a time of grief and unbearable pain.”^[e]
