NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ »Damascus will cease to be a city, and will become a heap of ruins. ² »The cities of Aroer (three places near Palestine) will be deserted forever. They will be places for flocks to lie down, and no one will make them afraid. ³ »The fortress will disappear from Ephraim, and the kingdom (sovereignty) from Damascus. The remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the children of Israel, proclaims Jehovah of Hosts.
