Isaiah 17:9-11
Lexham English Bible

9 On that day, its fortified cities[a] will be like the abandonment of the wooded place and the summit,[b] which they deserted because of the children of Israel; and there will be desolation.

10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation,
    and you have not remembered the rock of your refuge;
therefore you plant plants of pleasantness,
    and you plant[c] a vine of a foreigner.
11 On your planting day you make them grow,
    and in the morning of your sowing you bring them into bloom,
yet the harvest will flee[d] in a day of sickness and incurable pain.
