Isaiah 17:1-5

1A pronouncement concerning Damascus: Look, Damascus is no longer a city. It has become a ruined heap.

2The cities of Aroer are abandoned; they will be places for flocks. They will lie down without fear.

3The fortress disappears from Ephraim, and a kingdom from Damascus. The remnant of Aram will be like the splendor of the Israelites. This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.

4On that day the splendor of Jacob will fade, and his healthy body will become emaciated.

5It will be as if a reaper had gathered standing grain — his arm harvesting the heads of grain — and as if one had gleaned heads of grain in Rephaim Valley.
