Isaiah 17:10 Context: For you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not remembered the rock of your strength. Therefore you plant pleasant plants, and set out foreign seedlings.

◄ Isaiah 17:10 ►

Context

10For you have forgotten the God of your salvation
         And have not remembered the rock of your refuge.
         Therefore you plant delightful plants
         And set them with vine slips of a strange god.

11In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in,
         And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom;
         But the harvest will be a heap
         In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.

12Alas, the uproar of many peoples
         Who roar like the roaring of the seas,
         And the rumbling of nations
         Who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!

13The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters,
         But He will rebuke them and they will flee far away,
         And be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind,
         Or like whirling dust before a gale.

14At evening time, behold, there is terror!
         Before morning they are no more.
         Such will be the portion of those who plunder us
         And the lot of those who pillage us.

Isaiah
CHAPTERS I-XXXIX Isaiah is the most regal of the prophets. His words and thoughts are those of a man whose eyes had seen the King, vi. 5. The times in which he lived were big with political problems, which he met as a statesman who saw the large meaning of events, and as a prophet who read a divine purpose in history. Unlike his younger contemporary Micah, he was, in all probability, an aristocrat; and during his long ministry (740-701 B.C., possibly, but not probably later) he bore testimony, as …
