The work of his hands;
He will not respect what his afingers have made,
Nor the1 wooden images nor the incense altars.
And1 an uppermost branch,
Which they left because of the children of Israel;
And there will be desolation.
And have not been mindful of the Rock of your1 stronghold,
Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
And set out foreign seedlings;
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.
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!

Isaiah 17:10
Strange slips "Shoots from a foreign soil" - The pleasant plants, and shoots from a foreign soil, are allegorical expressions for strange and idolatrous worship; vicious and abominable practices connected with it; reliance on human aid, and on alliances entered into with the neighboring nations, especially Egypt; to all which the Israelites were greatly addicted, and in their expectations from which they should be grievously disappointed.
