Isaiah 17:11-13
Contemporary English Version
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.
13 But even if they roar
like a fearsome flood,
God will give the command
to turn them back.
They will be like dust,
or like a tumbleweed
blowing across the hills
in a windstorm.
Isaiah 17:11-13
New International Version
11 though on the day you set them out, you make them grow,
and on the morning(A) when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest(B) will be as nothing(C)
in the day of disease and incurable(D) pain.(E)
12 Woe to the many nations that rage(F)—
they rage like the raging sea!(G)
Woe to the peoples who roar(H)—
they roar like the roaring of great waters!(I)
13 Although the peoples roar(J) like the roar of surging waters,
when he rebukes(K) them they flee(L) far away,
driven before the wind like chaff(M) on the hills,
like tumbleweed before a gale.(N)
