Isaiah 17:10-12
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 17:10-12
Contemporary English Version
10 Israel, you have forgotten
the God who saves you,
the one who is the mighty rock[a]
where you find protection.
You plant the finest flowers
to honor a foreign god.
11 The plants may sprout
and blossom
that very same morning,
but it will do you no good,
because you will suffer
endless agony.
God Defends His People
12 The nations are a noisy,
thunderous sea.

Isaiah 17:10-12
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)
