Isaiah 17:9-11

New American Standard Bible

⁹ On that day ^[a]their strong cities will be like ^[b]abandoned places in the forest,
Or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel;
And ^[c]the land will be a desolation.
¹⁰ For ^(A)you have forgotten the ^(B)God of your salvation
And have not remembered the ^(C)rock of your refuge.
Therefore you plant delightful plants
And set them with vine shoots of a strange god.
¹¹ On the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in,
And in the ^(D)morning you bring your seed to blossom;
But the harvest will ^(E)flee
On a day of illness and incurable pain.
