Isaiah 17:1-4

A Prophecy Against Damascus 1A prophecy against Damascus: “See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins.

2The cities of Aroer will be deserted and left to flocks, which will lie down, with no one to make them afraid.

3The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, and royal power from Damascus; the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the Israelites,” declares the LORD Almighty.

4“In that day the glory of Jacob will fade; the fat of his body will waste away.
