Isaiah 17:11

The verse reads: In the day when thou plantest thou makest it to grow, and in the morning when thou sowest thou makest it to blossom, (but) the harvest disappears in a day of sickness and incurable sorrow. "However successful your enterprise may seem in its early stages, it is doomed to failure." For "makest it to grow" we may render with R.V. "hedgest it in." The words "plant" and "seed" must be construed alike, both are taken above as infinitives. The word for "disappears" means "heap" in Exodus 15:8; Psalms 33:7; Psalms 78:13 and so A.V. here. But here it is better taken as a verb; R.V. rightly "fleeth away."
