Isaiah 17:12 in Context — Isaiah 17

10 Porque te olvidaste del Dios de tu salud, y no te acordaste de la roca de tu fortaleza; por tanto plantarás plantas hermosas, y sembrarás sarmiento extraño.

11 El día que las plantares, las harás crecer, y harás que tu simiente brote de mañana; mas la cosecha será arrebatada en el día del coger, y del dolor desesperado.

12 ¡Ay! multitud de muchos pueblos que harán ruido como estruendo de la mar: y murmullo de naciones hará alboroto como murmurio de muchas aguas.

13 Los pueblos harán estrépito á manera de ruido de grandes aguas: mas [Dios] le reprenderá, y huirá lejos; será ahuyentado como el tamo de los montes delante del viento, y como el polvo delante del torbellino.

14 Al tiempo de la tarde he aquí turbación; [y] antes de la mañana ya no es. Esta es la parte de los que nos huellan, y la suerte de los que nos saquean.
