Isaiah 17:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 The villages around Aroer[a]
will be deserted,
with only sheep living there
and no one to bother them.
3 Israel[b] will lose its fortresses.
The kingdom of Damascus
will be destroyed;
its survivors will suffer
the same fate as Israel.
The Lord All-Powerful
has promised this.

4 When that time comes,
the glorious nation of Israel
will be brought down;
its prosperous people
will be skin and bones.

and left to flocks,(B) which will lie down,(C)

the remnant of Aram will be
like the glory(F) of the Israelites,”(G)

King James Version
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 made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.
