Isaiah 17:9-11
Common English Bible
Isaiah 17:9-11
Common English Bible
9 On that day, their strong cities will be like those abandoned by the Hivites and the Amorites;[a] abandoned because of the Israelites. They will be a wasteland,
10 because you forgot the God who saves you,
and didn’t remember the rock who shelters you.
Therefore, plant your pleasant plants,
and set out exotic sprouts;
11 make them grow the day you plant them,
and make them bloom the morning you start them.
But the harvest will disappear on a day of sickness and incurable pain.

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)
