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!
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.
And before the morning, he is no more.
This is the portion of those who plunder us,
And the lot of those who rob us.
| << Isaiah 17:11 | Isaiah 17:13 >> |
