Isaiah 17:12-14

Contemporary English Version

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.
¹⁴ In the evening
    their attack is fierce,
but by morning
    they are destroyed.
This is what happens to those
    who raid and rob us.
