Isaiah 17 — Scripture text (King James Version)
The burden4853 of 1834. Behold, 1834 is taken away5493 from being a city5892, and it shall be a ruinous4654 heap4596. The cities5892 of Aroer6177 are forsaken5800: they shall be for flocks5739, which shall lie down7257, and none shall make them afraid2729. The fortress4013 also shall cease7673 from 669, and the kingdom4467 from 1834, and the 7605 of 758: they shall be as the 3519 of the children1121 of 3478, saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts6635. And in that day3117 it shall come to pass, that the 3519 of 3290 shall be made thin1809, and the fatness4924 of his flesh1320 shall wax lean7329. And it shall be as when the harvestman7105 gathereth622 the corn7054, and reapeth7114 the ears7641 with his arm2220; and it shall be as he that gathereth3950 ears7641 in the valley6010 of 7497. Yet gleaning grapes5955 shall be left7604 in it, as the shaking5363 of an olive tree2132, two8147 or three7969 berries1620 in the top7218 of the uppermost bough534, four702 or five2568 in the outmost fruitful6509 branches5585 thereof, saith5002 the LORD3068 God430 of 3478. At that day3117 shall a man120 look8159 to his Maker6213, and his eyes5869 shall have respect7200 to the Holy6918 One of 3478. And he shall not look8159 to the altars4196, the work4639 of his hands3027, neither shall respect7200 that which his fingers676 have made6213, either the groves842, or the images2553. images: or, sun images In that day3117 shall his strong4581 cities5892 be as a forsaken5800 bough2793, and an uppermost branch534, which they left5800 because6440 of the children1121 of 3478: and there shall be desolation8077. Because thou hast forgotten7911 the God430 of thy 3468, and hast not been mindful2142 of the rock6697 of thy strength4581, therefore shalt thou plant5193 pleasant5282 plants5194, and shalt set2232 it with strange2114 slips2156: In the day3117 shalt thou make thy plant5194 to grow7735, and in the morning1242 shalt thou make thy seed2233 to flourish6524: but the harvest7105 shall be a heap5067 in the day3117 of grief2470 and of desperate605 sorrow3511. a heap: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow Woe1945 to the multitude1995 of many7227 people5971, which make a noise1993 like the noise1993 of the seas3220; and to the rushing7588 of nations3816, that make a rushing like the rushing7582 of mighty3524 waters4325! multitude: or, noise mighty: or, many The nations3816 shall rush7582 like the rushing7588 of many7227 waters4325: but God shall rebuke1605 them, and they shall flee5127 far off4801, and shall be chased7291 as the chaff4671 of the mountains2022 before6440 the wind7307, and like a rolling thing1534 before6440 the whirlwind5492. a rolling: or, thistledown And behold at eveningtide6256 6153 trouble1091; and before the morning1242 he is not. This is the portion2506 of them that spoil8154 us, and the 1486 of them that rob962 us.
