Esias 17:12

12 Woe the multitude of many nations, as the swelling sea, so shall ye be confounded; and the force of many nations shall sound like water;

Esias 17:12 In-Context

10 Because thou hast forsaken God thy Saviour, and hast not been mindful of the Lord thy helper; therefore shalt thou plant a false plant, and a false seed.
11 In the day wherein thou shalt plant thou shalt be deceived; but if thou sow in the morning, shall spring up for a crop in the day wherein thou shalt obtain an inheritance, and as a man's father, thou shalt obtain an inheritance for thy sons.
12 Woe the multitude of many nations, as the swelling sea, so shall ye be confounded; and the force of many nations shall sound like water;
13 many nations like much water, as when much water rushes violently: and they shall drive him away, and pursue him afar, as the dust of chaff when men winnow before the wind, and as a storm whirling the dust of the wheel.
14 Toward evening, and there shall be grief; before the morning, and he shall not be. This is the portion of them that spoiled you, and the inheritance to them that robbed you of your inheritance.
