1The burden of Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.

2The cities of Aroer are forsaken. They will be for flocks, which shall lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.

3The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” says Yahweh of Armies.

4“It will happen in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh will become lean.

5It will be like when the harvester gathers the wheat, and his arm reaps the grain. Yes, it will be like when one gleans grain in the valley of Rephaim.
