Isaiah 17:9-11
GOD’S WORD Translation
9 When that day comes, the fortified cities
which other people abandoned because of the Israelites
will be like abandoned woods and undergrowth.
So it will become a wasteland.
10 You have forgotten the God 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.
On the morning you set out the seedling, you will make it sprout.
But the harvest will become a [rotting] pile [a]
on a day of grief and incurable pain.

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)
