Isaiah 17:10
New English Translation
10 For you ignore[a] the God who rescues you;
you pay no attention to your strong protector.[b]
So this is what happens:
You cultivate beautiful plants
and plant exotic vines.[c]
Footnotes
- Isaiah 17:10 tn Heb “you have forgotten” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).
- Isaiah 17:10 tn Heb “and the rocky cliff of your strength you do not remember.”
- Isaiah 17:10 tn Heb “a vine, a strange one.” The substantival adjective זָר (zar) functions here as an appositional genitive. It could refer to a cultic plant of some type, associated with a pagan rite. But it is more likely that it refers to an exotic, or imported, type of vine, one that is foreign (i.e., “strange”) to Israel.
