Isaiah 17:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ Israel, you have forgotten
    the God who saves you,
the one who is the mighty rock^[a]
    where you find protection.
You plant the finest flowers
    to honor a foreign god.
¹¹ The plants may sprout
and blossom
    that very same morning,
but it will do you no good,
because you will suffer
    endless agony.

¹² The nations are a noisy,
    thunderous sea.
