Isaiah 17:10-14 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

10. Israel, you have forgottenthe God who saves you,the one who is the mighty rockwhere you find protection.You plant the finest flowersto honour a foreign god.

11. The plants may sproutand blossomthat very same morning,but it will do you no good,because you will sufferendless agony.

12. The nations are a noisy,thunderous sea.

13. But even if they roarlike a fearsome flood,God will give the commandto turn them back.They will be like dust,or like strawblowing across the hillsin a storm.

14. In the eveningtheir attack is fierce,but by morningthey are destroyed.This is what happens to thosewho raid and rob us.
