10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation,
    and have not remembered the Rock of your refuge;
therefore, though you plant pleasant plants
    and set out slips of an alien god,
11 though you make them grow on the day that you plant them,
    and make them blossom in the morning that you sow;

    they thunder like the thundering of the sea!
Ah, the roar of nations,
    they roar like the roaring of mighty waters!

    and on the morning(F) when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest(G) will be as nothing(H)
    in the day of disease and incurable(I) pain.(J)
