ylt @Isaiah:17:1 @The burden of Damascus . Lo , Damascus is taken away from [being ] a city , And it hath been a heap -- a ruin . ylt @Isaiah:17:2 @Forsaken are the cities of Aroer , For droves they are , and they have lain down , And there is none troubling . ylt @Isaiah:17:3 @And ceased hath the fortress from Ephraim , And the kingdom from Damascus , And the remnant of Aram are as the honour of the sons of Israel , The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts ! ylt @Isaiah:17:4 @And it hath come to pass , in that day , Wax poor doth the honour of Jacob , And the fatness of his flesh doth wax lean . ylt @Isaiah:17:5 @And it hath come to pass , As the gathering by the reaper of the standing corn , And his arm the ears reapeth , And it hath come to pass , As the gathering of the ears in the valley of Rephaim , ylt @Isaiah:17:6 @And left in him have been gleanings , As the compassing of an olive , Two -- three berries on the top of a branch , Four -- five on the fruitful boughs , The affirmation of Jehovah , God of Israel ! ylt @Isaiah:17:7 @In that day doth man look to His Maker , Yea , his eyes to the Holy One of Israel look , ylt @Isaiah:17:8 @And he looketh not unto the altars . The work of his own hands , And that which his own fingers made He seeth not -- the shrines and the images . ylt @Isaiah:17:9 @In that day are the cities of his strength As the forsaken thing of the forest , And the branch that they have left , Because of the sons of Israel , It also hath been a desolation . ylt @Isaiah:17:10 @Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation , And the rock of thy strength hast not remembered , Therefore thou plantest plants of pleasantness , And with a strange slip sowest it , ylt @Isaiah:17:11 @In the day thy plant thou causest to become great , And in the morning thy seed makest to flourish , A heap [is ] the harvest in a day of overflowing , And of mortal pain . ylt @Isaiah:17:12 @Wo [to ] the multitude of many peoples , As the sounding of seas they sound ; And [to ] the wasting of nations , As the wasting of mighty waters they are wasted . ylt @Isaiah:17:13 @Nations as the wasting of many waters are wasted , And He hath pushed against it , And it hath fled afar off , And been pursued as chaff of hills before wind , And as a rolling thing before a hurricane . ylt @Isaiah:17:14 @At even-time , lo , terror , before morning it is not , This [is ] the portion of our spoilers , And the lot of our plunderers !
