Isaiah 17:1-11

1The burdenH4853 of DamascusH1834. Behold, DamascusH1834 is taken awayH5493 from being a cityH5892, and it shall be a ruinousH4654 heapH4596. 2The citiesH5892 of AroerH6177 are forsakenH5800: they shall be for flocksH5739, which shall lie downH7257, and none shall make them afraidH2729. 3The fortressH4013 also shall ceaseH7673 from EphraimH669, and the kingdomH4467 from DamascusH1834, and the remnantH7605 of SyriaH758: they shall be as the gloryH3519 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635. 4And in that dayH3117 it shall come to pass, that the gloryH3519 of JacobH3290 shall be made thinH1809, and the fatnessH4924 of his fleshH1320 shall wax leanH7329. 5And it shall be as when the harvestmanH7105 gatherethH622 the grainH7054, and reapethH7114 the headsH7641 with his armH2220; and it shall be as he that gatherethH3950 headsH7641 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497.

6Yet gleaning grapesH5955 shall be leftH7604 in it, as the shakingH5363 of an olive treeH2132, twoH8147 or threeH7969 berriesH1620 in the topH7218 of the uppermost boughH534, fourH702 or fiveH2568 in the outmost fruitfulH6509 branchesH5585 thereof, saithH5002 YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. 7At that dayH3117 shall a manH120 lookH8159 to his MakerH6213, and his eyesH5869 shall have respectH7200 to the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478. 8And he shall not lookH8159 to the altarsH4196, the workH4639 of his handsH3027, neither shall respectH7200 that which his fingersH676 have madeH6213, either the grovesH842, or the imagesH2553.1

9In that dayH3117 shall his strongH4581 citiesH5892 be as a forsakenH5800 boughH2793, and an uppermost branchH534, which they leftH5800 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and there shall be desolationH8077. 10Because thou hast forgottenH7911 the GodH430 of thy salvationH3468, and hast not been mindfulH2142 of the rockH6697 of thy strengthH4581, therefore shalt thou plantH5193 pleasantH5282 plantsH5194, and shalt setH2232 it with strangeH2114 slipsH2156: 11In the dayH3117 shalt thou make thy plantH5194 to growH7735, and in the morningH1242 shalt thou make thy seedH2233 to flourishH6524: but the harvestH7105 shall be a heapH5067 in the dayH3117 of griefH2470 and of desperateH605 sorrowH3511.2
