Isaiah 27:11 
Context| NET © | When its branches get brittle, 1 they break; women come and use them for kindling. 2 For these people lack understanding, 3 therefore the one who made them has no compassion on them; the one who formed them has no mercy on them. |
| NIV © | When its twigs are dry, they are broken off and women come and make fires with them. For this is a people without understanding; so their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favour. |
| NASB © | When its limbs are dry, they are broken off; Women come and make a fire with them, For they are not a people of discernment, Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them. And their Creator will not be gracious to them. |
| NLT © | The people are like the dead branches of a tree, broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots. Israel is a foolish and stupid nation, for its people have turned away from God. Therefore, the one who made them will show them no pity or mercy. |
| MSG © | And it's not a bad place to get firewood. Dry twigs and dead branches are plentiful. It's the leavings of a people with no sense of God. So, the God who made them Will have nothing to do with them. He who formed them will turn his back on them. |
| BBE © | When its branches are dry they will be broken off; the women will come and put fire to them: for it is a foolish people; for this cause he who made them will have no mercy on them, and he whose work they are will not have pity on them. |
| NRSV © | When its boughs are dry, they are broken; women come and make a fire of them. For this is a people without understanding; therefore he that made them will not have compassion on them, he that formed them will show them no favor. |
| NKJV © | When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off; The women come and set them on fire. For it is a people of no understanding; Therefore He who made them will not have mercy on them, And He who formed them will show them no favor. |

| NET © Notes |
1 tn Heb “are dry” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV). 2 tn Heb “women come [and] light it.” The city is likened to a dead tree with dried up branches that is only good for firewood. 3 tn Heb “for not a people of understanding [is] he.” |
