In the Valley of Rephaim.

10 Because you have forgotten athe God of your salvation,
And have not been mindful of the Rock of your1 stronghold,
Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
And set out foreign seedlings;
And have not been mindful of the Rock of your1 stronghold,
Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
And set out foreign seedlings;
11 In the day you will make your plant to grow,
And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will be a heap of ruins
In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.
And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;

In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.
12 Woe to the multitude of many people
Who make a noise alike the roar of the seas,
And to the rushing of nations
That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
Who make a noise alike the roar of the seas,
And to the rushing of nations
That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
13 The nations will rush like the rushing of many waters;
But God will arebuke them and they will flee far away,
And bbe chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
But God will arebuke them and they will flee far away,
And bbe chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
