ISA-17:1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away
from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
ISA-17:2 The cities of Aroer [are] forsaken: they shall be for
flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make [them] afraid.
ISA-17:3 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.
ISA-17:4 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.
ISA-17:5 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.
ISA-17:6 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.
ISA-17:7 At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes
shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
ISA-17:8 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.
ISA-17:9 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.
ISA-17:10 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:
ISA-17:11 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.
ISA-17:12 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!
ISA-17:13 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.
ISA-17:14 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. 1
