Isaiah 17:9-14

Amplified Bible

⁹ 
In that day the strong cities of Aram and Israel will be like ^[a]deserted places in the forest,
Or like branches which they abandoned before the children of Israel;
And the land will be a desolation.
¹⁰ 
Because you [Judah] have forgotten the God of your salvation
And have not remembered the Rock of your Stronghold—
Therefore you plant ^[b]lovely plants
And set the grounds with vine slips of a strange god,
¹¹ 
In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in,
And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom;
Yet [promising as it is] the harvest will be a heap [of ruins that passes away]
In the day of sickness and incurable pain.

¹² 
Oh, the uproar of many peoples
Who roar like the roaring of the seas,
And the noise of nations
Who roar like the rumbling of mighty waters!
¹³ 
The nations roar on like the roaring of many waters,
But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away,
And be chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind,
Or like whirling dust before the storm.
¹⁴ 
At evening time, now look, sudden terror!
Before ^[c]morning the Assyrians are no more.
This is the portion (fate) of those who plunder us,
And the lot of those who pillage us.
