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 Living Translation
9 Their largest cities will be like a deserted forest,
like the land the Hivites and Amorites abandoned[a]
when the Israelites came here so long ago.
It will be utterly desolate.
10 Why? Because you have turned from the God who can save you.
You have forgotten the Rock who can hide you.
So you may plant the finest grapevines
and import the most expensive seedlings.
11 They may sprout on the day you set them out;
yes, they may blossom on the very morning you plant them,
but you will never pick any grapes from them.
Your only harvest will be a load of grief and unrelieved pain.
12 Listen! The armies of many nations
roar like the roaring of the sea.
Hear the thunder of the mighty forces
as they rush forward like thundering waves.
13 But though they thunder like breakers on a beach,
God will silence them, and they will run away.
They will flee like chaff scattered by the wind,
like a tumbleweed whirling before a storm.
14 In the evening Israel waits in terror,
but by dawn its enemies are dead.
This is the just reward of those who plunder us,
a fitting end for those who destroy us.
