10 You have forgotten the Elohim of your salvation.
    You haven’t remembered the rock, your stronghold.
    Instead, you have planted the best plants
    and have set out the imported grapevines.
11 On the day you plant, you will make it grow.[a]
    On the morning you set out the seedling, you will make it sprout.
    But the harvest will become a [rotting] pile[b]
        on a day of grief and incurable pain.

12 How horrible it will be for many people!
    They will roar like the roaring sea.
    The noise that the people make
        will be like the noise from rushing water.
