Isaiah 17:1-11

1The burdenH4853 of DamascusH1834. BeholdH2009, DamascusH1834 is takenH5493 awayH5493 from beingH1961 a cityH5892, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

2The citiesH5892 of AroerH6177 are forsaken: they shall be for flocksH5739, which shall lieH7257 downH7257, and noneH369 shall makeH2729 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, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.

4And it shall comeH1961 to passH1961 in that dayH3117, that the gloryH3519 of JacobH3290 shall be madeH1961 thinH1809, and the fatness of his fleshH1320 shall wax leanH7329.

5And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the standingH7054 corn, and his armH2220 reapeth the earsH7641; yea, it shall be as when one gleaneth earsH7641 in the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497.

6Yet there shall be leftH7604 therein gleaningsH5955, as the shakingH5363 of an oliveH2132 treeH2132, twoH8147 or threeH7969 berries in the topH7218 of the uppermost boughH534, fourH702 or fiveH2568 in the outmost branchesH5585 of a fruitfulH6509 treeH2132, saith the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.

7In that dayH3117 shall a manH120 lookH7200 unto his Maker, and his eyesH5869 shall have respectH5921 to the HolyH6918 One of IsraelH3478.

8And he shall notH3808 lookH7200 to the altarsH4196, the workH4639 of his handsH3027, neitherH3808 shall he have respect to that whichH834 his fingersH676 have madeH6213, either the AsherimH842, or the sun-images.

9In that dayH3117 shall his strongH4581 citiesH5892 be as the forsaken places in the wood and on the mountain top, whichH834 were forsaken from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: and it shall be a desolationH8077.

10For thou hast forgottenH7911 the GodH430 of thy salvationH3468, and hast notH3808 been mindfulH2142 of the rockH6697 of thy strengthH4581; therefore thou plantest pleasant plantsH5193, and settest it with strangeH2114 slipsH2156:

11In the dayH3117 of thy plantingH2233 thou hedgest it in, and in the morningH1242 thou makest thy seedH2233 to blossom: but the harvestH7105 fleeth away in the dayH3117 of grief and of desperate sorrowH3511.
