  17:1 ¶
THE WORD AGAINST DAMASCUS. Behold, Damascus shall be taken away from among cities, and shall become a ruin; |
|
17:1 ¶
The burden°
of Damascus.°
Behold,°
Damascus°
is taken away°°
from [being] a city,°°
and it shall be°
a ruinous°
heap.° |
|
17:2
abandoned for ever, to [be] a fold and resting-place for flocks, and there shall be none to go after them. |
|
17:2
The cities°
of Aroer°
[are] forsaken:°°
they shall be°
for flocks,°
which shall lie down,°°
and none°
shall make [them] afraid.°° |
|
17:3
And she shall no longer be a strong place for Ephraim to flee to, and there shall no longer be a kingdom in Damascus, or a remnant of Syrians; for thou art no better than the children of Israel, [even] than their glory; thus saith the Lord of hosts. |
|
17:3
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°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth.° |
|
17:4
There shall be in that day a failure of the glory of Jacob, and the riches of his glory shall be shaken. |
|
17:4
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.°° |
|
17:5
And it shall be as if one should gather standing corn, and reap the grain of the ears; and it shall be as if one should gather ears in a rich valley; |
|
17:5
And it shall be°
as when the harvestman°
gathereth°°
the corn,°
and reapeth°°
the ears°
with his arm;°
and it shall be°
as he that gathereth°°
ears°
in the valley°
of Rephaim.° |
|
17:6 ¶
and [as if] there should be left stubble therein, or [as it were] the berries of an olive tree, two or three on the topmost bough, or [as if] four or five should be left on their branches; thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel. |
|
17:6 ¶
Yet gleaning grapes°
shall be left°°
in it, as the shaking°
of an olive tree,°
two°
[or] three°
berries°
in the top°
of the uppermost bough,°
four°
[or] five°
in the outmost fruitful°°
branches°
thereof, saith°°
Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel.° |
|
17:7
In that day a man shall trust in him that made him, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. |
|
17:7
At that°
day°
shall a man°
look°°
to°
his Maker,°°
and his eyes°
shall have respect°°
to°
the Holy°
One°
of Israel.° |
|
17:8
And they shall not at all trust in their altars, nor in the works of their hands, which their fingers made; and they shall not look to the trees, nor to their abominations. |
|
17:8
And he shall not°
look°°
to°
the altars,°
the work°
of his hands,°
neither°
shall respect°°
[that] which°
his fingers°
have made,°°
either the groves,°
or the images.° |
|
17:9 ¶
In that day thy cities shall be deserted, as the Amorites and the Evaeans deserted [theirs], because the of children of Israel; and they shall be desolate. |
|
17:9 ¶
In that°
day°
shall his strong°
cities°
be°
as a forsaken°°
bough,°
and an uppermost branch,°
which°
they left°°
because°°
of the children°
of Israel:°
and there shall be°
desolation.° |
|
17:10
Because thou hast forsaken God thy Saviour, and hast not been mindful of the Lord thy helper; therefore shalt thou plant a false plant, and a false seed. |
|
17:10
Because°
thou hast forgotten°°
the Elohim°
of thy salvation,°
and hast not°
been mindful°°
of the rock°
of thy strength,°
therefore°°
shalt thou plant°°
pleasant°
plants,°
and shalt set°°
it with strange°°
slips:° |
|
17:11
In the day wherein thou shalt plant thou shalt be deceived; but if thou sow in the morning, [the seed] shall spring up for a crop in the day wherein thou shalt obtain an inheritance, and as a man's father, thou shalt obtain an inheritance for thy sons. |
|
17:11
In the day°
shalt thou make thy plant°
to grow,°°
and in the morning°
shalt thou make thy seed°
to flourish:°°
[but] the harvest°
[shall be] a heap°
in the day°
of grief°°
and of desperate°°
sorrow.° |
|
17:12 ¶
Woe [to] the multitude of many nations, as the swelling sea, so shall ye be confounded; and the force of many nations shall sound like water; |
|
17:12 ¶
Woe°
to the multitude°
of many°
people,°
[which] make a noise°°
like the noise°°
of the seas;°
and to the rushing°
of nations,°
[that] make a rushing°
like the rushing°°°
of mighty°
waters!° |
|
17:13
many nations like much water, as when much water rushes violently: and they shall drive him away, and pursue him afar, as the dust of chaff when men winnow before the wind, and as a storm whirling the dust of the wheel. |
|
17:13
The nations°
shall rush°°
like the rushing°
of many°
waters:°
but [Elohim] shall rebuke°°
them, and they shall flee°°
far off,°°
and shall be chased°°
as the chaff°
of the mountains°
before°
the wind,°
and like a rolling thing°
before°
the whirlwind.° |
|
17:14
Toward evening, and there shall be grief; before the morning, and he shall not be. This is the portion of them that spoiled you, and the inheritance to them that robbed you of your inheritance. |
|
17:14
And behold°
at eveningtide°°
trouble;°
[and] before°
the morning°
he [is] not.°
This°
[is] the portion°
of them that spoil°°
us, and the lot°
of them that rob°°
us. |
