Isaiah 17:9-14

Isaiah 17:9-14

[9] In that day  shall his strong  cities  be as a forsaken  bough,  and an uppermost branch,  which they left  because  of the children  of Israel:  and there shall be desolation.  [10] Because thou hast forgotten  the God  of thy salvation,  and hast not been mindful  of the rock  of thy strength,  therefore shalt thou plant  pleasant  plants,  and shalt set  it with strange  slips:  [11] In the day  shalt thou make thy plant  to grow,  and in the morning  shalt thou make thy seed  to flourish:  but the harvest  shall be a heap  in the day  of grief  and of desperate  sorrow.  [12] Woe  to the multitude  of many  people,  which make a noise  of the seas;  and to the rushing  of nations,  that make a rushing like the rushing  of mighty  waters!  [13] The nations  shall rush  like the rushing  of many  waters:  but God shall rebuke  them, and they shall flee  far off,  and shall be chased  as the chaff  of the mountains  before  the wind,  and like a rolling thing  before  the whirlwind.  [14] And behold at eveningtide  trouble;  and before the morning  he is not. This is the portion  of them that spoil  us, and the lot  of them that rob  us.
