An Oracle Concerning Damascus

17 The [a](A)oracle concerning (B)Damascus.

“Behold, Damascus is about to be (C)removed from being a city
And will become a (D)fallen ruin.
The cities [b]of (E)Aroer are forsaken;
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 the [c](H)fortified city will cease 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 Yahweh of hosts.
