Isaiah 17:9-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
9 On that day their fortified cities will be like the deserted places of the Hivites and the Amorites,[a] which they deserted because of the people of Israel, and there will be desolation.(A)
10 For you have forgotten God your Savior
and have not remembered the Rock of your refuge;
therefore, though you plant pleasant gardens
and set out branches of a foreign god,(B)
11 though you make them grow on the day that you plant them
and make them blossom in the morning that you sow,
yet the harvest will flee away
in a day of sickness and incurable pain.(C)
