Isaia 17:11

Listen to Isaia 17:11
11 Di giorno farai crescere quello che avrai piantato, e la mattina farai germogliar quello che avrai posto; ma i rami ne saranno scossi al giorno del fiaccamento, e della doglia incurabile.

Isaia 17:11 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 17:11

In the day shall thou make thy plant to grow
Not that it is in the power of man to make it grow; but the sense is, that all means and methods should be used to make it grow, no cost nor pains should be spared: and in the morning shall thou make thy seed to flourish;
which may denote both diligence in the early care of it, and seeming promising success; and yet all should be in vain, and to no purpose: [but] the harvest [shall be] a heap in the day of grief;
or "of inheritance"; when it was about to be possessed and enjoyed, according to expectation, it shall be all thrown together in a heap, and be spoiled by the enemy: or, "the harvest" shall be "removed in the day of inheritance" F23; just when the fruit is ripe, and going to be gathered in, the enemy shall come and take it all away; and so, instead of being a time of joy, as harvest usually is, it will be a time of grief and trouble, and of desperate sorrow
too, or "deadly"; which will leave them in despair, without hope of subsistence for the present year, or of having another harvest hereafter, the land coming into the hands of their enemies.

Isaia 17:11 In-Context

9 In quel giorno, le sue città forti saranno come rami e vette abbandonate; perciocchè saranno abbandonate dalla presenza de’ figliuoli d’Israele; e vi sarà desolazione.
10 Perciocchè tu hai dimenticato l’Iddio della tua salute, e non ti sei ricordato della Rocca della tua fortezza; perciò, pianterai piante bellissime, e porrai magliuoli forestieri.
11 Di giorno farai crescere quello che avrai piantato, e la mattina farai germogliar quello che avrai posto; ma i rami ne saranno scossi al giorno del fiaccamento, e della doglia incurabile.
12 GUAI alla turba de’ gran popoli i quali romoreggiano come i mari; ed alla turba risonante delle nazioni, che risuonano a guisa di acque grosse!
13 Le nazioni risuonano a guisa di grandi acque; ma Iddio le sgriderà, e fuggiranno lontano, e saranno perseguite come la pula de’ monti dinanzi al vento, e come una palla dinanzi al turbo.
