And hast not been mindful of zthe rock of thy strength,

Therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants,

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 17:10–11 — The New International Version (NIV)

10 You have forgotten God your Savior;

you have not remembered the Rock, your fortress.

Therefore, though you set out the finest plants

and plant imported vines,

11 though on the day you set them out, you make them grow,

and on the morning when you plant them, you bring them to bud,

yet the harvest will be as nothing

in the day of disease and incurable pain.

Isaiah 17:10–11 — English Standard Version (ESV)

10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation

and have not remembered the Rock of your refuge;

therefore, though you plant pleasant plants

and sow the vine-branch of a stranger,

11 though you make them grow on the day that you plant them,

and make them blossom in the morning that you sow,

yet the harvest will flee away

in a day of grief and incurable pain.

Isaiah 17:10–11 — New Living Translation (NLT)

10 Why? Because you have turned from the God who can save you.

You have forgotten the Rock who can hide you.

So you may plant the finest grapevines

and import the most expensive seedlings.

11 They may sprout on the day you set them out;

yes, they may blossom on the very morning you plant them,

but you will never pick any grapes from them.

Your only harvest will be a load of grief and unrelieved pain.

Isaiah 17:10–11 — The New King James Version (NKJV)

10 Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation,

And have not been mindful of the Rock of your stronghold,

Therefore you will plant pleasant plants

And set out foreign seedlings;

11 In the day you will make your plant to grow,

And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;

But the harvest will be a heap of ruins

In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.

Isaiah 17:10–11 — New Century Version (NCV)

10 You have forgotten the God who saves you;

you have not remembered that God is your place of safety.

You plant the finest grapevines

and grapevines from faraway places.

11 You plant your grapevines one day and try to make them grow,

and the next day you make them blossom.

But at harvest time everything will be dead;

a sickness will kill all the plants.

You haven’t remembered the rock, your stronghold.

On the morning you set out the seedling, you will make it sprout. 

But the harvest will become a ⸤rotting⸥ pile

on a day of grief and incurable pain.

you will help them to grow,

and in the morning

you will help your seed to sprout,

but the harvest will vanish

on the day of disease and incurable pain.

and make them blossom in the morning that you sow;

yet the harvest will flee away

in a day of grief and incurable pain.

Isaiah 17:10–11 — The Lexham English Bible (LEB)

and in the morning of your sowing you bring them into bloom,

yet the harvest will flee in a day of sickness and incurable pain.

You might plant vines from other lands.

11 The plants might start to grow on the day you set them out.

The vines might begin to bud on the morning you plant them.

But even if they do, there won’t be any harvest.

Instead, there will be sickness and pain that won’t go away.

And set them with vine slips of a strange god.

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.
