Isaiah 17:14

 1 An  oracle concerning  Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins.  2 The cities of  Aroer are deserted; they will be for flocks, which will lie down, and  none will make them afraid.  3 The fortress will disappear from  Ephraim, and the kingdom from  Damascus; and the remnant of Syria will be like  the glory of the children of Israel, declares the Lord of hosts.  4 And in that day  the glory of Jacob will be brought low, and  the fat of his flesh will grow lean.  5 And it shall be  as when the reaper gathers standing grain and his arm harvests the ears, and as when one gleans the ears of grain in  the Valley of Rephaim.  6  Gleanings will be left in it, as when an olive tree is beaten— two or three berries in the top of the highest bough, four or five on the branches of a fruit tree, declares the Lord God of Israel. 7  In that day man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will look on the Holy One of Israel. 8  He will not look to the altars, the work of his hands, and he will not look on what his own fingers have made, either the  Asherim or the altars of incense. 9  In that day their strong cities will be like the deserted places of the wooded heights and the hilltops, which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.  10 For  you have forgotten the God of your salvation and have not remembered the  Rock of your refuge; therefore, though you plant pleasant plants and sow the vine-branch of a stranger,  11 though you make them grow  on the day that you plant them, and make them blossom in the morning that you sow, yet the harvest will flee away  in a day of grief and incurable pain.  12 Ah,  the thunder of many peoples; they thunder like the thundering of the sea! Ah, the roar of nations; they roar like the roaring of mighty waters!  13  The nations roar like the roaring of many waters,  but he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away, chased  like chaff on the mountains before the wind and  whirling dust before the storm.  14  At evening time, behold, terror! Before morning, they are no more! This is the portion of those who loot us, and the lot of those who plunder us.

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
