CHAP. XVII.
1 Syria and Israel are threatened. 6 A remnant
shall forsake idolatry. 9 The rest shall
be afflicted for their impiety. 12 The woe of
Israel's enemies.
1 The burden of Damascus. Behold,
Damascus is taken away from being
a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken:
they shall be for flocks, which shall lie
down, and none shall make them afraid.
3 The fortress also shall cease from
Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus,
and the remnant of Syria: they shall
be as the glory of the children of Israel,
saith the Lord of hosts.
4 And in that day it shall come to
pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be diminished,
and the fatness of his flesh
shall become lean.
5 And it shall be as when the harvest-man
gathereth the corn, and reapeth the
ears with his arm; and it shall be as he
that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.
6 ¶2; Yet gleaning grapes shall be left
in it, as the shaking of an olive-tree, two
or three berries in the top of the uppermost
bough, four or five in the outmost
fruitful branches of it, saith the Lord
God of Israel.
7 At that day shall a man look to his
Maker, and his eyes shall have respect
to the Holy One of Israel.
8 And he shall not look to the altars,
the work of his hands, neither shall respect
that which his fingers have made,
either the groves, or the note images.
9 ¶2; In that day shall his strong cities
be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost
branch, which they left because of
the children of Israel: and there shall be
desolation.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the
God of thy salvation, and hast not been
mindful of the rock of thy strength,
therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants,
and shalt set it with foreign slips:
11 In the day shalt thou make thy
plant to grow, and in the morning shalt
thou make thy seed to flourish: but the
harvest shall be a note heap in the day of
grief and of desperate sorrow.
12 ¶2; Woe to the note multitude of many
people, who make a noise like the noise
of the seas; and to the rushing of nations,
that make a rushing like the rushing
of note mighty waters!
13 The nations shall rush like the
rushing of many waters: but God will
rebuke them, and they shall flee far off,
and shall be chased as the chaff of the
mountains before the wind, and like note a
rolling thing before the whirlwind.
14 And behold at the time of evening
trouble; and before the morning he is
not. This is the portion of them that
ravage us, and the lot of them that rob us.
