Isaías

  • Prophecy about Damascus

  • |Isaías 17:1| The [mournful, inspired] oracle (1 a burden to be carried) concerning Damascus [capital of Aram (Syria), and Israel's defense against Assyria].
    "Listen carefully, Damascus will cease to be a city And will become a fallen ruin.


  • |Isaías 17:2| "The cities of Aroer [east of the Jordan] are deserted; They will be [only a refuge] for flocks to lie down in, And there will be no one to make them afraid.


  • |Isaías 17:3| "The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus And the remnant of Aram (Syria); They will be like the [departed] glory of [her ally] the children of Israel," Declares the LORD of hosts.

  • |Isaías 17:4| "Now in that day the [former] glory of Jacob [Israel—his might, his population, his prosperity] will fade, And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.


  • |Isaías 17:5| "And it will be like the reaper gathering the standing grain, As his arm harvests the ears of grain; Yes, it will be like one gleaning ears of grain In the [fertile] Valley of Rephaim.


  • |Isaías 17:6| "Yet gleanings will be left in the land [of Israel] like the shaking of the olive tree, Two or three olives on the topmost branch, Four or five on the [outermost] branches of the fruitful tree," Declares the LORD, the God of Israel.


  • |Isaías 17:7| In that day man will have regard for his Maker, And his eyes will regard the Holy One of Israel [with awe-inspired reverence].


  • |Isaías 17:8| And he will not have regard for the [idolatrous] altars, the work of his hands, Nor will he look to that which his fingers have made, Neither the Asherim (symbols of the goddess Asherah) nor the incense altars.


  • |Isaías 17:9| In that day the strong cities of Aram and Israel will be like2 deserted places in the forest, Or like branches which they abandoned before the children of Israel; And the land will be a desolation.


  • |Isaías 17:10| Because you [Judah] have forgotten the God of your salvation And have not remembered the Rock of your Stronghold— Therefore you plant3 lovely plants And set the grounds with vine slips of a strange god,
