Isaiah 17:1 - 17:3

The oracle concerning Damascus.

“Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city

And will become a fallen ruin.

The cities of Aroer are forsaken;

They will be for flocks, and they will lie down in them;

And there will be no one to cause them to tremble.

And the fortified city will cease from Ephraim,

And sovereignty from Damascus

And the remnant of Aram;

They will be like the glory of the sons of Israel,”

Declares Yahweh of hosts.
