Isaiah 17:3

Oracle Of Judgment On Damascus

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,
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. ⁴ On that day
the splendor of Jacob will fade,
and his healthy body will become emaciated.
