Isaiah 17:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹You will plant your grapevines one day and try to make them grow, and the next day they will blossom. But at harvest time, you will go to gather the fruit from the plants, and you will see that everything is dead. A sickness will kill all the plants.

¹²Listen to all these people!
    Their loud crying sounds like the noise from the sea.
    Listen, it is like the crashing of waves in the sea.
¹³And like the waves,
    they will rush away when God speaks harshly to them.
They will be like chaff blown away by the wind.
    They will be like weeds chased by a storm.
