Verse from Isaiah

因为你忘记了那拯救你的神,又不记念那作你避难所的盘石,所以你虽然栽下佳美的树秧子,种下异种的幼苗,又在你栽种的日子里,细心地在周围圈上篱笆,到早晨,又使你所栽种的开花,但在愁苦与极度伤痛的日子里,所收割的就只有一小堆。(以赛亚书 17:10-11)

You have forgotten God your Savior; you have not remembered the Rock, your fortress. Therefore, though you set out the finest plants and plant imported vines, though on the day you set them out, you make them grow, and on the morning when you plant them, you bring them to bud, yet the harvest will be as nothing in the day of disease and incurable pain. (Isaiah 17:10-11)

This prophecy serves as a contemporary warning about the danger and futility of thinking we can produce anything on our own. Apart from God, the work of our hands will become a pile of ruins. 

“Without Me you can do nothing.” —Jesus (John 15:5)
