International Children’s Bible
Isaiah 17:9-11
International Children’s Bible
9 In that day all their strong cities will be empty. They will be like the cities that the Hivites and the Amorites left. They left their cities when the Israelites came to take the land. Everything will be ruined.
10 You have forgotten the God who saves you.
You have not remembered that God is your place of safety.
You plant the finest grapevines.
You plant grapevines from faraway places.
11 You will plant your grapevines one day and try to make them grow.
The next day they will begin to grow.
But at harvest time everything will be dead.
A sickness will kill all the plants.
Isaiah 17:9-11
New International Version
Isaiah 17:9-11
New International Version
9 In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth.(A) And all will be desolation.
10 You have forgotten(B) God your Savior;(C)
you have not remembered the Rock,(D) your fortress.(E)
Therefore, though you set out the finest plants
and plant imported vines,(F)
11 though on the day you set them out, you make them grow,
and on the morning(G) when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest(H) will be as nothing(I)
in the day of disease and incurable(J) pain.(K)
