¶ The .xvii. Chapter.
¶ A prophecie agaynst Damascus.
A Thys is the heuye burthen vpon
Damascus: Beholde, Damasc&us;
is taken awaye, to be nomore a
citye, but shalbe an heape of broken
stones. The waste cityes of
Aroer shalbe foldes for catel which shal lye
there, and there shalbe none to fraye them
awaye &rhand; Ephraim also shall nomore be
-- --
strong, ∧ Damasc&us; shall nomore be a kyngdome,
∧ the remnaunt of Syria shalbe as þe;
glorye of þe; childr&ebar; of Israel, sayeth þe; Lord
of hostes. And in þt; daye it shal come to passe
þt; Iacob shalbe made very poore, ∧ þe; fatnesse
of hys fleshe shall waxe leane. And he
shalbe as one þt; gathereth vp corne in haruest,
eu&ebar; lyke him whose arme reapeth þe; eares
of corne. He shalbe also lyke hym þt; gathereth
eares of corne in the valley of Rephaim.
Some gathering in dede shal there
be left in it, eu&ebar; as in the shakyng of an olyue
tre there remayne two or thre beryes in
the toppe of the vppermost bowe, ∧ foure or
fyue in þe; brode frutefull braunches therof,
sayeth the Lorde God of Israel.
B Then shall m&abar; turne agayne to his maker,
∧ his eyes shall haue respecte to þe; holy
one of Israel. As for the altares which are
his awne handy worke, he shal not regarde
them, ∧ the thynges þt; his fyngers haue made
(as groues ∧ ymages) those shall he not
cast his eye vnto. In þt; daye shal their str&obar;g
cities be as the forsaken shrubbes ∧ braunches,
which &rhand; they left because of the children
of Israel, ∧ the londe shalbe desolate.
Because thou hast forgotten God thy saluacion,
and hast not bene myndefull of thy
strong rock, &rhand; therfore shalt thou set pleasaunt
plantes, ∧ shalt graffe the bra&ubar;che of
another mans vyne. In the daye shalt thou
make thy pl&abar;t to growe, ∧ early in the mornynge
shalt thou make thy sede to florish.
The haruest shalbe gone in the daye of enheritaunce,
∧ there shalbe sorowe without
hope of c&obar;forte. &rhand; Wo shalbe to the multitude
of moche people, which shall make a
sounde lyke the noyse of þe; see: And the violence
of þe; nacions, which shal rage lyke the
russhyng in of many waters: Eu&ebar; lyke many
waters shall the people rage. God shall
rebuke him, and he shal flye farre of. He shalbe
chaced awaye lyke as drye strawe vpon
the mountaynes before the wynde, and lyke
a thing that turneth before the storme.
At euen beholde, there is trouble: ∧ or euer
it be mornyng, lo, he is gone. This is þe; porcyon
of them that oppresse vs, and the lott
of them that robbe vs.
