Isaiah 17:1-5

CLV(i) 1 LOAD OF DAMASCUS "Behold! Damascus is being taken away from being a city, and becomes a fallen rubbish heap." 2 Forsaken are the cities in the future. For droves shall they become. And they recline, and there is no trembling." 3 And the fortress for Ephraim to flee to, has ceased, and no longer shall there be a kingdom in Damascus, and the dignity of Syria shall perish. They shall become as the glory of the sons of Israel,averring is Yahweh of hosts." 4 And it comes in that day, that the glory of Jacob shall be impoverished, and the stoutness of his flesh shall be lean." 5 And it comes to be as in gathering the harvest of raised grain, and with his arm, he is reaping the spikes. Then it comes as the gleaning of spikes in the healers vale."
