Isaiah 30:17

Isaiah 30:17 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

17A thousand will flee

at the threat of one;

at the threat of five

you will all flee away,

till you are left

like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,

like a banner on a hill.”

17One thousand will flee at the threat of one man;

You will flee at the threat of five,

Until you are left like a signal post on a mountain top,

And like a flag on a hill.

17One thousand will flee at the threat of one man;

You will flee at the threat of five,

Until you are left as a flag on a mountain top

And as a signal on a hill.

17A thousand of you will flee at the threat of one man;

You will flee at the threat of five,

Until you are left like a flag on the top of a mountain,

And like a signal on a hill.

17A thousand will flee at the threat of one;

at the threat of five you will all flee,

until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop,

like a banner on a hill.

17When one of them dares you to fight,

a thousand of you will run away.

When five of them dare you,

all of you will run away.

So few of you will be left that you will be

like a flagpole on top of a mountain.

You will be like only one banner on a hill.”
