In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

The verse 9 is found in chapter 17 of Isaiah. The cause of Israel’s weakness is not merely military: it has forgotten the God of its salvation. Carefully cultivated plants represent human projects that seem to grow quickly but end in a harvest of sorrow. The section concludes with nations attacking God’s people being scattered, yet ultimately fleeing.

Zu der Zeit werden die Städte ihrer Stärke sein wie verlassene Burgen im Wald und auf der Höhe, so verlassen wurden vor den Kindern Israel, und werden wüst sein.
En aquel día las ciudades de su fortaleza serán como los frutos que quedan en los pimpollos y en las ramas, las cuales fueron dejadas a causa de los hijos de Israel; y habrá asolamiento.
En aquel día sus ciudades fortificadas serán como lo abandonado del bosque y de las ramas más altas, que dejaron ante los hijos de Israel; y habrá desolación.
En ce jour, ses villes fortes seront Comme des débris dans la forêt et sur la cime des montagnes, Abandonnés devant les enfants d'Israël: Et ce sera un désert.
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.
Naquele dia as suas cidades fortificadas serão como lugares abandonados, no bosque ou sobre o cume das montanhas, os quais foram abandonados ante os filhos de Israel; e haverá assolação.
當那日,他們堅固的城必因 以色列 人的緣故,如同樹林中和山頂上所撇棄的地方 。這樣,地就荒蕪了。
