The burden of
Damascus .
Lo
, Damascus is taken
away
from
`being'
a city ,
And
it hath
been
a heap --
a
ruin
.
This
is
the burden against
Damascus :
“Behold
, Damascus is no
longer
a city ;
it has
become
a heap of
ruins
.
Forsaken
are
the cities of Aroer ,
For
droves
they
are ,
and
they have
lain
down
, And
there
is
none
troubling
.
The cities of Aroer are forsaken;
they will
be
left
to
the
flocks
, which
will
lie
down
with
no
one
to
fear
.
And
ceased
hath
the fortress from Ephraim, And the kingdom
from Damascus ,
And
the remnant of Aram are
as
the honour
of the sons
of
Israel
, The affirmation
of
Jehovah
of Hosts !
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 .
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
in that day ,
Wax
poor
doth
the honour
of Jacob, And the fatness
of his flesh
doth
wax
lean.
“
In that day the splendor
of Jacob will
fade
, and the fat
of his body
will
waste
away,
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
As the gathering
by
the
reaper of
the standing corn,
And his
arm
the ears reapeth,
And
it
hath
come
to
pass
, As the
gathering
of the
ears
in the valley of Rephaim ,
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
left
in
him
have
been
gleanings, As
the
compassing
of
an olive ,
Two --
three berries on
the top
of
a
branch
, Four --
five on the
fruitful boughs
, The affirmation
of
Jehovah
, God of Israel !
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 .
In that day doth
man
look to His
Maker ,
Yea,
his
eyes to the Holy One of Israel look,
In that day men
will
look to their
Maker and
turn
their
eyes to the Holy One of Israel .
And
he
looketh
not unto
the altars .
The
work
of
his
own
hands ,
And
that
which
his
own
fingers
made
He
seeth
not
--
the shrines
and the
images
.
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
.
In that day are
the
cities of
his
strength
As
the
forsaken thing
of
the
forest,
And the
branch
that
they
have
left
, Because
of
the sons
of
Israel,
It
also
hath
been
a
desolation.
In that day their
strong
cities will
be
like
forsaken thickets
and summits
, abandoned
to
the Israelites
and
to
utter
desolation.
Because
thou
hast
forgotten the God of thy
salvation ,
And the rock of thy
strength
hast
not
remembered,
Therefore thou
plantest
plants
of
pleasantness
, And with
a
strange
slip
sowest
it,
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—
In
the day thy
plant thou
causest
to
become
great
, And in
the
morning thy
seed makest
to
flourish,
A
heap
`is'
the harvest in
a
day of overflowing,
And of
mortal
pain.
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.
Wo
`to'
the multitude
of many peoples ,
As
the sounding
of
seas they
sound;
And `to'
the
wasting
of
nations ,
As
the wasting
of mighty waters they
are
wasted
.
Alas,
the tumult
of many peoples ;
they
rage
like
the roaring
seas and clamoring
nations ;
they
rumble
like
the crashing
of mighty waters.
Nations as
the wasting
of many waters are
wasted,
And
He hath
pushed
against
it
, And it
hath
fled
afar
off
, And
been
pursued
as
chaff
of
hills
before wind, And
as
a
rolling
thing
before a hurricane
.
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
.
At
even-time,
lo
, terror ,
before morning it
is
not
, This `
is '
the portion of our
spoilers,
And the lot of our
plunderers!
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.
