Isaiah 17:7
Context
7In that day man will have regard for his Maker
         And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.

8He will not have regard for the altars, the work of his hands,
         Nor will he look to that which his fingers have made,
         Even the Asherim and incense stands.

9In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken places in the forest,
         Or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel;
         And the land will be a desolation.

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.

The Harvest of a Godless Life
'Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the Rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips: In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.'--ISAIAH xvii. 10, 11. The original application of these words is to Judah's alliance with Damascus, which Isaiah was dead against.

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
