Prophecy about Damascus

17 The (A)pronouncement concerning (B)Damascus:

“Behold, Damascus is about to be (C)removed from being a city
And will become a (D)fallen ruin.
The cities [a]of (E)Aroer are abandoned;
They will be for (F)herds [b]to lie down in,
And there will be (G)no one to frighten them.
The [c](H)fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
And [d]sovereignty from Damascus
And the remnant of Aram;
They will be like the (I)glory of the sons of Israel,”
Declares the Lord of armies.
