Isaiah 17:13

Isaiah 17:13 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

13Although the peoples roar like the roar of surging waters,

when he rebukes them they flee far away,

driven before the wind like chaff on the hills,

like tumbleweed before a gale.

13The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters,

But He will rebuke them, and they will flee far away,

And be chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind,

Or like whirling dust before a gale.

13The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters,

But He will rebuke them and they will flee far away,

And be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind,

Or like whirling dust before a gale.

13The nations roar on like the roaring of many waters,

But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away,

And be chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind,

Or like whirling dust before the storm.

13The nations rage like the rush of many waters.

He rebukes them, and they flee far away,

driven before the wind like chaff on the hills,

like tumbleweeds before a gale.

13They sound like the roar of rushing waters.

But when the Lord speaks out against them, they run far away.

The wind blows them away like straw on the hills.

A strong wind drives them along like tumbleweeds.
