Judgment Against Damascus and Ephraim
Isaiah 17:1-6
1
This is a prophecy about Dammesek: "Dammesek will soon stop being a city; it will become a heap of ruins.
2
The cities of 'Aro'er will be abandoned, given over to flocks lying down undisturbed.
3
Efrayim will have no defenses, Dammesek will cease to rule, and Aram's survivors will share the fate of Isra'el's finest sons," says ADONAI-Tzva'ot.
4
"When that day comes, Ya'akov's glory will wane, and his full body grow thin,
5
as when the harvester collects the standing grain, reaping the ears of grain with his arm; yes, as when they glean the grain in the Refa'im Valley.
6
Yet gleanings will be left, as when beating an olive tree - two or three olives at the very top, four or five on its fruitful branches," says ADONAI, the God of Isra'el.
