Isaiah 17:7-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 On that day people shall turn to their maker,
their eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel.(A)
8 They shall not turn to the altars, the work of their hands,
nor shall they look to what their fingers have made:
the asherahs[a] or the incense stands.
9 On that day his strong cities shall be
like those abandoned by the Hivites and Amorites
When faced with the Israelites;
and there shall be desolation.(B)
10 Truly, you have forgotten the God who saves you,
the Rock, your refuge, you have not remembered.(C)
Therefore, though you plant plants for the Pleasant One,[b]
and set out cuttings for a foreign one,(D)
11 Though you make them grow the day you plant them
and make them blossom the morning you set them out,
The harvest shall disappear on a day of sickness
and incurable pain.
Isaiah 17:7-11
New International Version
Isaiah 17:7-11
New International Version
7 In that day(A) people will look(B) to their Maker(C)
and turn their eyes to the Holy One(D) of Israel.
8 They will not look to the altars,(E)
the work of their hands,(F)
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles[a](G)
and the incense altars their fingers(H) have made.
9 In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth.(I) And all will be desolation.
10 You have forgotten(J) God your Savior;(K)
you have not remembered the Rock,(L) your fortress.(M)
Therefore, though you set out the finest plants
and plant imported vines,(N)
11 though on the day you set them out, you make them grow,
and on the morning(O) when you plant them, you bring them to bud,
yet the harvest(P) will be as nothing(Q)
in the day of disease and incurable(R) pain.(S)
