Isaiah 17 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

“The cities ^H5892 [fn]of Aroer ^H6177 are abandoned ^H5800;

They will be for herds ^H5739 [fn]to lie ^H7257 down ^H7257 in,

And there ^H369 will ^H369 be ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 to frighten ^H2729 them.

“The [fn]fortified ^H4013 city ^H4013 will disappear ^H7673 from Ephraim ^H669,

And [fn]sovereignty ^H4467 from Damascus ^H1834

And the remnant ^H7605 of Aram ^H758;

They will be like the glory ^H3519 of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478,”

Declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635.

Now on that day ^H3117 the glory ^H3519 of Jacob ^H3290 will [fn]fade ^H1809,

And the fatness ^H4924 of his flesh ^H1320 will become ^H7329 lean ^H7329.

It will be like the [fn]reaper ^H622 gathering ^H7105 the standing ^H7054 grain ^H7054,

As his arm ^H2220 harvests ^H7114 the ears ^H7641,

Or it will be like one gleaning ^H3950 ears ^H7641 of ^H7641 grain ^H7641

In the Valley ^H6010 of Rephaim ^H7497.

Yet gleanings ^H5955 will be left ^H7604 in it like the [fn]shaking ^H5363 of an olive ^H2132 tree ^H2132,

Two ^H8147 or three ^H7969 olives ^H1620 on the topmost ^H7218 H534 branch ^H534,

Four ^H702 or five ^H2568 on the branches ^H5585 of a fruitful ^H6509 tree ^H6509,

Declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068, the God ^H430 of Israel ^H3478.

On that day ^H3117 man ^H120 will look ^H8159 to his Maker ^H6213

And his eyes ^H5869 will look ^H7200 to the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918 of Israel ^H3478.

And he will not look ^H8159 to the altars ^H4196, the work ^H4639 of his hands ^H3027,

Nor ^H3808 will he look ^H7200 to that which ^H834 his fingers ^H676 have made ^H6213,

Even the [fn]Asherim ^H842 and incense ^H2553 altars ^H2553.

On that day ^H3117 [fn]their strong ^H4581 cities ^H5892 will be like [fn]abandoned ^H5805 places ^H5805 in the forest ^H2793,

Or like branches ^H534 which ^H834 they abandoned ^H5800 before ^H4480 H6440 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478;

And [fn]the land will be a desolation ^H8077.

For you have forgotten ^H7911 the God ^H430 of your salvation ^H3468

And have not remembered ^H2142 the rock ^H6697 of your refuge ^H4581.

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 you plant ^H5193 delightful ^H5282 plants ^H5194

And set ^H2232 them with vine ^H2156 shoots ^H2156 of a strange ^H2114 god.

On the day ^H3117 that you plant ^H5194 it you carefully ^H5473 fence ^H5473 it in,

And in the morning ^H1242 you bring ^H6524 your seed ^H2233 to ^H6524 blossom ^H6524;

But the harvest ^H7105 will flee ^H5074

On a day ^H3117 of illness ^H2470 and incurable ^H605 pain ^H3511.

Oh ^H1945, the uproar ^H1995 of many ^H7227 peoples ^H5971

Who roar ^H1993 like the roaring ^H1993 of the seas ^H3220,

And the rumbling ^H7588 of nations ^H3816

Who rush ^H7582 on like the rumbling ^H7588 of mighty ^H3524 waters ^H4325!

The nations ^H3816 rumble ^H7582 on like the rumbling ^H7588 of many ^H7227 waters ^H4325,

But He will rebuke ^H1605 them, and they will flee ^H5127 far ^H4801 away ^H4801,

And be chased ^H7291 like chaff ^H4671 on the mountains ^H2022 before ^H6440 the wind ^H7307,

Or like whirling ^H1534 dust ^H1534 before ^H6440 a gale ^H5492.

At evening ^H6153 time ^H6256, behold ^H2009, there is terror ^H1091!

Before ^H2962 morning ^H1242 they are ^H369 gone ^H369.

This ^H2088 will be the [fn]fate ^H2506 of those who plunder ^H962 us

And the lot ^H1486 of those who pillage ^H962 us.
