Isaiah 17:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ Israel, you have forgotten God, who saves you.
    You have not remembered the Rock, who keeps you safe.
You might set out the finest plants.
    You might plant vines from other lands.
¹¹ The plants might start to grow on the day you set them out.
    The vines might begin to bud on the morning you plant them.
But even if they do, there won’t be any harvest.
    Instead, there will be sickness and pain that won’t go away.

¹² How terrible it will be for the nations that attack us!
    The noise of their armies is like the sound of the ocean.
How terrible it will be for the nations who fight against us!
    They are as loud as huge waves crashing on the shore.
