Behold, Damascus is no

a city ;
it has
become
a heap of
ruins
.

Damascus .

a city ,

a ruinous

to

flocks, which shall
lie down ,
and
none
shall
make
them
afraid

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.

cease
from Ephraim, and the kingdom

In that day the splendor
of Jacob will
fade
, and the fat
of his body
will
waste
away,
It
shall
happen
in that day ,
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.
It
shall
be
as when
the harvester
gathers the standing grain ,
and his arm reaps
the
ears;
yes
, it
shall
be
as when
one gleans 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 there
shall
be
left
therein
gleanings, as
the
shaking
of
an olive tree ,
two or three berries in
the top
of
the
uppermost
bough
, four or five in
the
outmost
branches of
a
fruitful
tree
, says
Yahweh
, the God of Israel.
In that day men will
look to their Maker and turn
their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
In that day shall
men look to their Maker ,
and their 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.
They shall
not look to the altars ,
the
work
of
their hands ;
neither
shall
they have respect
to
that
which
their fingers have
made,
either
the
Asherim,
or
the
sun-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
their strong cities be as
the
forsaken places
in
the
wood
and on
the
mountain
top
, which
were
forsaken
from
before
the children
of
Israel;
and it
shall
be
a
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—
For you have forgotten the God of your salvation ,
and have
not
been
mindful
of
the rock of your strength;
therefore you plant
pleasant
plants,
and 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 of
your
planting
you hedge
it
in
, and in
the
morning you make
your seed to
blossom;
but
the harvest flees
away
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 .
Ah
, the uproar
of many peoples ,
who
roar
like the roaring of
the
seas ;
and the
rushing
of
nations ,
that
rush
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
he shall
rebuke
them, and they shall
flee far off
, and
shall
be
chased
as
the chaff of
the mountains
before
the
wind
, and
like the
whirling
dust
before the
storm
.
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.
At
evening, behold,
terror ;
[and]
before the
morning they are no more .
This is the portion of those who despoil
us ,
and the lot of those who rob
us.
