“Behold, Damascus is about to be (C)removed from being a city
And will become a (D)fallen ruin.

They will be for (F)flocks, and they will lie down in them;
And there will be (G)no one to cause them to tremble.

And [d]sovereignty from Damascus
And the remnant of Aram;
They will be like the (I)glory of the sons of Israel,”
