Isaiah 17:1–3

An Oracle Concerning Damascus

17 An soracle concerning tDamascus.

Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city

and will become a heap of ruins.

2  The cities of uAroer are deserted;

they will be for flocks,

which will lie down, and vnone will make them afraid.

3  The fortress will disappear from wEphraim,

and the kingdom from wDamascus;

and the remnant of Syria will be

like xthe glory of the children of Israel,

declares the Lord of hosts.
