Isaiah 17:1-3

International Children’s Bible

“The city of Damascus will be destroyed.
    Only ruins will be left there.
² People will leave the cities of Aroer.
    Flocks of sheep will wander freely in those empty towns.
    There will be no one to bother them.
³ The strong, walled cities of Israel will be destroyed.
    The government in Damascus will end.
Those left alive of Aram will be
    like the glory of Israel,” says the Lord of heaven’s armies.
