Isaiah 17:10

Context

17:10 For you ignore 1  the God who rescues you;

you pay no attention to your strong protector. 2 

So this is what happens:

You cultivate beautiful plants

and plant exotic vines. 3

[17:10]  1 tn Heb “you have forgotten” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

[17:10]  2 tn Heb “and the rocky cliff of your strength you do not remember.”

[17:10]  3 tn Heb “a vine, a strange one.” The substantival adjective זָר (zar) functions here as an appositional genitive. It could refer to a cultic plant of some type, associated with a pagan rite. But it is more likely that it refers to an exotic, or imported, type of vine, one that is foreign (i.e., “strange”) to Israel.
