Isaiah 17:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be gone in the day [a]of possession, and there shall be desperate sorrow.
12 [b]Ah, the multitude of many people, they shall make a sound like the noise of the sea: for the noise of the people shall make a sound like the noise of mighty waters.
13 The people shall make a sound like the noise of many waters: but God shall [c]rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and as a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

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)
