isaiah 17:11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. - Free Bible Online

isaiah 17:11 In the day that you plant [it] you carefully fence [it] in, And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom; [But] the harvest will be a heap In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.


      11. In the day . . . thy plant--rather, "In the day of thy planting" [HORSLEY].
      shalt . . . make . . . grow--MAURER translates, "Thou didst fence it," namely, the pleasure-ground. The parallel clause, "Make . . . flourish," favors English Version. As soon as thou plantest, it grows.
      in the morning--that is, immediately after; so in Ps 90:14, the Hebrew, "in the morning," is translated "early."
      but . . . shall be a heap--rather, "but (promising as was the prospect) the harvest is gone" [HORSLEY].
      in . . . day of grief--rather, "in the day of (expected) possession" [MAURER]. "In the day of inundation" [HORSLEY].
      of desperate sorrow--rather, "And the sorrow shall be desperate or irremediable." In English Version "heap" and "sorrow" may be taken together by hendiadys. "The heap of the harvest shall be desperate sorrow" [ROSENMULLER].
