Isaiah 17:9-11
New International Reader's Version
Isaiah 17:9-11
New International Reader's Version
9 At that time the strong cities in Israel will be deserted. They will be as they were when the Israelites drove the Canaanites away. They will be like places that are taken over by bushes and weeds. The whole land will become dry and empty.
10 Israel, you have forgotten God, who saves you.
You have not remembered the Rock, who keeps you safe.
You might set out the finest plants.
You might plant vines from other lands.
11 The plants might start to grow on the day you set them out.
The vines might begin to bud on the morning you plant them.
But even if they do, there won’t be any harvest.
Instead, there will be sickness and pain that won’t go away.

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)
