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,

    carefully making them grow,
the very morning you make your seed to sprout,
    your harvest will be ruined[a]
        in a time of grief and unbearable pain.”[b]

    who rage like the roaring sea!
Oh, how the uproar of nations
    is like the sound of rushing, mighty water—
    How they roar!
