An Oracle against Damascus

1 An oracle(A) against Damascus:(B)

Look, Damascus is no longer a city.
It has become a ruined heap.
2
The cities of Aroer are forsaken;
they will be places for flocks.
They will lie down without fear.
3
The fortress disappears from Ephraim,(C)
and a kingdom from Damascus.
The remnant of Aram will be
like the splendor of the Israelites.
This is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.
