1 The burden of Damascus. Lo, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city,
And it hath been a heap -- a ruin.
2 Forsaken are the cities of Aroer, For droves they are, and they have lain
down, And there is none troubling.
3 And ceased hath the fortress from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus,
And the remnant of Aram are as the honour of the sons of Israel, The
affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!
4 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Wax poor doth the honour of Jacob,
And the fatness of his flesh doth wax lean.
5 And it hath come to pass, As the gathering by the reaper of the standing
corn, And his arm the ears reapeth, And it hath come to pass, As the
gathering of the ears in the valley of Rephaim,
6 And left in him have been gleanings, As the compassing of an olive, Two --
three berries on the top of a branch, Four -- five on the fruitful boughs,
The affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel!
7 In that day doth man look to His Maker, Yea, his eyes to the Holy One of
Israel look,
8 And he looketh not unto the altars. The work of his own hands, And that
which his own fingers made He seeth not -- the shrines and the images.
9 In that day are the cities of his strength As the forsaken thing of the
forest, And the branch that they have left, Because of the sons of Israel,
It also hath been a desolation.
10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, And the rock of thy
strength hast not remembered, Therefore thou plantest plants of
pleasantness, And with a strange slip sowest it,
11 In the day thy plant thou causest to become great, And in the morning thy
seed makest to flourish, A heap [is] the harvest in a day of overflowing,
And of mortal pain.
12 Wo [to] the multitude of many peoples, As the sounding of seas they
sound; And [to] the wasting of nations, As the wasting of mighty waters they
are wasted.
13 Nations as the wasting of many waters are wasted, And He hath pushed
against it, And it hath fled afar off, And been pursued as chaff of hills
before wind, And as a rolling thing before a hurricane.
14 At even-time, lo, terror, before morning it is not, This [is] the portion
of our spoilers, And the lot of our plunderers!
