The burden of Damascus. Lo
, Damascus is taken away from `
being '
a city, And it hath
been
a heap --
a
ruin
.
The burden of Damascus. Behold
, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall
be
a ruinous
heap.
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 shall
be
for
flocks,
which
shall
lie
down, and none shall
make
them
afraid
.
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 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 .
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.
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.
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 ,
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 .
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
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 doth
man look to His Maker, Yea,
his eyes to the Holy One of Israel look,
At
that day shall
a
man look to his Maker, and
his eyes shall
have
respect
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.
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 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 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.
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,
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:
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
.
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
.
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.
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 !
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 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
.
At even-time,
lo,
terror,
before morning it
is not ,
This `
is '
the portion of our
spoilers
, And the lot of our
plunderers!
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.
