Isaiah 17:9-14
Legacy Standard Bible
9 In that day [a]their strong cities will be like [b]forsaken places in the forest,
Or like [c]branches which they forsook before the sons of Israel;
And [d]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 strong defense.
Therefore you plant delightful plants
And set them with vine branches of a strange god.
11 In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in,
And in the (D)morning you cause your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will (E)be a heap
In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.
12 Alas, the uproar of many peoples
(F)Who roar like the roaring of the seas,
And the rumbling of nations
Who rumble on like the (G)rumbling of mighty waters!
13 The (H)nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters,
But He will (I)rebuke them, and they will flee far away,
And be pursued (J)like chaff in the mountains before the wind,
Or like whirling dust before a whirlwind.
14 At evening time, behold, there is terror!
Before morning (K)they are no more.
[e]Such will be the portion of those who pillage us
And the lot of those who plunder us.

Isaiah 17:9-14
New International Version
9 In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth.(A) And all will be desolation.
10 You have forgotten(B) God your Savior;(C)
you have not remembered the Rock,(D) your fortress.(E)
Therefore, though you set out the finest plants
and plant imported vines,(F)
11 though on the day you set them out, you make them grow,
and on the morning(G) when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest(H) will be as nothing(I)
in the day of disease and incurable(J) pain.(K)
12 Woe to the many nations that rage(L)—
they rage like the raging sea!(M)
Woe to the peoples who roar(N)—
they roar like the roaring of great waters!(O)
13 Although the peoples roar(P) like the roar of surging waters,
when he rebukes(Q) them they flee(R) far away,
driven before the wind like chaff(S) on the hills,
like tumbleweed before a gale.(T)
14 In the evening, sudden(U) terror!(V)
Before the morning, they are gone!(W)
This is the portion of those who loot us,
the lot of those who plunder us.
