Isaiah 17:11-13

Christian Standard Bible

¹¹ On the day that you plant,
you will help them to grow,
and in the morning
you will help your seed to sprout,
but the harvest will vanish
on the day of disease and incurable pain.

¹² Ah! The roar of many peoples—
they roar like the roaring of the seas.
The raging of the nations—
they rage like the rumble of rushing water.^(A)
13 The nations rage like the rumble of a huge torrent.^(B)
He rebukes them, and they flee far away,^(C)
driven before the wind like chaff on the hills^(D)
and like tumbleweeds before a gale.
