King James Version
This
is
the burden against
Damascus :
“
Behold, Damascus is no
longer
a city ;
it has
become
a heap of
ruins
.
The burden of
Damascus .
Behold, Damascus is taken
away
from
being
a city ,
and
it shall
be
a ruinous
heap.
The cities of Aroer are forsaken ;
they will
be left
to
the
flocks, which will
lie down with
no
one
to
fear
.
The cities of Aroer are forsaken :
they shall
be for
flocks, which shall
lie down ,
and
none
shall
make
them
afraid
.
The fortress will
disappear
from Ephraim, and the sovereignty
from Damascus .
The remnant of Aram
will
be like
the splendor
of the Israelites
, ”
declares
the LORD of Hosts.
The fortress also
shall
cease
from Ephraim, and the kingdom
from Damascus ,
and
the remnant of Syria:
they
shall
be as
the glory
of the children
of
Israel
, saith
the LORD of hosts.
“
In that day the splendor
of Jacob will
fade
, and the fat
of his body
will
waste
away,
And
in that day it
shall
come
to
pass,
that
the glory
of Jacob shall
be
made
thin
, and the fatness
of his flesh
shall
wax
lean.
as the reaper
gathers
the standing
grain
and harvests
the ears with his arm ,
as one
gleans
heads
of
grain
in the Valley of Rephaim.
And
it
shall
be
as when
the harvestman
gathereth
the corn,
and reapeth
the ears with his arm ;
and
it
shall
be
as he
that
gathereth
ears
in the valley of Rephaim.
Yet gleanings
will
remain
, like
an olive tree that
has
been
beaten—
two or three berries atop
the tree
, four or five on
its
fruitful branches, ”
declares
the LORD ,
the
God of Israel.
Yet gleaning
grapes
shall
be
left
in
it
, as
the
shaking
of
an olive tree ,
two or three berries in
the top
of
the
uppermost
bough
, four or five in
the
outmost
fruitful branches thereof
, saith
the LORD God of Israel.
In
that day men
will
look to their
Maker and turn
their
eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
At
that day shall
a
man
look to his
Maker ,
and his
eyes shall
have
respect
to the Holy One of Israel.
They
will
not look to the altars they
have
fashioned
with
their
hands
or
to
the Asherahs
and
incense
altars
they
have made with
their
fingers
.
And
he
shall
not look to the altars ,
the work
of
his
hands,
neither
shall
respect
that
which
his
fingers
have made ,
either
the
groves,
or
the
images
.
In that day their
strong cities will
be like
forsaken thickets
and summits
, abandoned
to
the Israelites
and to
utter
desolation.
In that day shall
his
strong cities be as
a
forsaken bough,
and an
uppermost
branch
, which
they
left
because
of
the children
of
Israel:
and there
shall
be
desolation.
For
you
have
forgotten the God of your
salvation and failed
to
remember
the Rock of your
refuge.
Therefore, though
you
cultivate
delightful
plots
and set out
cuttings
from
exotic
vines—
Because
thou
hast
forgotten the God of thy
salvation ,
and hast
not
been
mindful
of
the rock of thy
strength,
therefore shalt
thou
plant
pleasant
plants
, and shalt
set it
with
strange
slips:
though
on
the day you
plant
you
make them
grow, and on
that
morning you
help
your
seed sprout—
yet
the harvest will
vanish
on
the day of disease
and incurable
pain
.
In
the day shalt
thou
make thy
plant
to
grow, and in
the
morning shalt
thou
make
thy
seed to
flourish:
but
the harvest shall
be
a
heap
in
the day of grief
and of
desperate
sorrow
.
Alas,
the tumult
of many peoples;
they
rage
like the roaring
seas and clamoring
nations ;
they
rumble
like the crashing
of mighty waters .
Woe
to
the multitude
of many people,
which
make
a
noise
like the noise
of
the
seas ;
and to
the
rushing
of
nations ,
that
make
a
rushing
like the rushing
of mighty waters !
The nations rage
like the rush
of many waters .
He
rebukes
them, and they flee far away
, driven
before
the wind
like
chaff on
the hills
, like tumbleweeds
before
a gale
.
The nations shall
rush
like the rushing
of many waters :
but
God
shall
rebuke
them, and they shall
flee far off
, and
shall
be
chased
as
the chaff of
the mountains
before
the
wind
, and
like a rolling
thing
before
the
whirlwind
.
In
the
evening,
there
is
sudden
terror!
Before morning ,
they
are
no
more!
This is the portion of those
who
loot
us and the lot of those
who
plunder
us.
And
behold
at
eveningtide
trouble;
and
before the
morning he
is
not.
This is the portion of them
that
spoil
us ,
and the lot of them
that
rob
us.
