The cities of Aroer are forsaken; they shall
be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. |
| |

lean. |

And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth
the standing grain, and his arm reapeth the ears; yea, it shall be as when one
gleaneth ears in the valley of Rephaim. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 17:6 |

Yet there shall be left therein gleanings, as
the shaking of an olive-tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost
bough, four or five in the outmost branches of a fruitful tree, saith Jehovah,
the God of Israel. |

of their hands; neither shall they have respect to that which their fingers have
made, either the Asherim, or the sun-images. |
|

In that day shall their strong cities be as
the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, which were forsaken from
before the children of Israel; and it shall be a desolation. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 17:10 |

For thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation,
and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength; therefore thou plantest
pleasant plants, and settest it with strange slips. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 17:11 |
|
In the day of thy planting thou hedgest it in,
and in the morning thou makest thy seed to blossom; but the harvest fleeth away
in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. |
|
|
|

|
Ah, the uproar of many peoples, that roar like
the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing
of mighty waters! |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 17:13 |
|
The nations shall rush like the rushing of many
waters: but he shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased
as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before
the storm. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 17:14 |
|
At eventide, behold, terror; and before the
morning they are not. This is the portion of them that despoil us, and the lot
of them that rob us. |
