Isaiah 17:9-14
English Standard Version
9 (A)In that day their strong cities will be like the deserted places of the wooded heights and the hilltops, which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.
10 For (B)you have forgotten the God of your salvation
and have not remembered the (C)Rock of your refuge;
therefore, though you plant pleasant plants
and sow the vine-branch of a stranger,
11 though you make them grow[a] on the day that you plant them,
and make them blossom in the morning that you sow,
yet the harvest will flee away[b]
in a day of grief and incurable pain.
12 Ah, (D)the thunder of many peoples;
they thunder like the thundering of the sea!
Ah, the roar of nations;
they roar like the roaring of mighty waters!
13 (E)The nations roar like the roaring of many waters,
(F)but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away,
chased (G)like chaff on the mountains before the wind
and (H)whirling dust before the storm.
14 (I)At evening time, behold, terror!
Before morning, they are no more!
This is the portion of those who loot us,
and the lot of those who plunder us.

Isaiah 17:9-14
International Standard Version
Desolation to the Nations
9 “At that time,[a] their fortified cities
that they abandoned because of the Israelis
will be like desolate places[b] of the forests and hilltops—[c]
there will be desolation.
10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation
and have not remembered the Rock
that is your strength.
Therefore even though you plant delightful plants,
sowing them with imported vine-seedlings,
11 at the time that you plant them,
carefully making them grow,
the very morning you make your seed to sprout,
your harvest will be ruined[d]
in a time of grief and unbearable pain.”[e]
12 “How terrible it will be for many peoples,
who rage like the roaring sea!
Oh, how the uproar of nations
is like the sound of rushing, mighty water—
How they roar!
13 The nations roar like the rushing of many waters,[f]
but the Lord[g] will rebuke them,
and they will run far away,
chased like chaff blown down from the mountains
or like thick dust[h] that rolls along,
blown along by a wind storm.
14 When the evening arrives, watch out—sudden terror!
By morning they will be there no longer!
So it will be for those who plunder us
and what will happen to those who rob us.”
