Isaiah 17:7-11
7At that time men will trust in their creator; they will depend on the Holy One of Israel.
8They will no longer trust in the altars their hands made, or depend on the Asherah poles and incense altars their fingers made.
9At that time their fortified cities will be like the abandoned summits of the Amorites, which they abandoned because of the Israelites; there will be desolation.
10For you ignore the God who rescues you; you pay no attention to your strong protector. So this is what happens: You cultivate beautiful plants and plant exotic vines.
11The day you begin cultivating, you do what you can to make it grow; the morning you begin planting, you do what you can to make it sprout. Yet the harvest will disappear in the day of disease and incurable pain.
