Isaiah 17:1-3
International Standard Version

A Rebuke to Damascus

17 A message[a] about Damascus:[b]

“Look! Damascus[c] will cease to be a city.
    Instead, it will become a pile of ruins.
2 The cities of Oraru[d] will be deserted—
    they will be devoted to herds that will lay at rest,
        and terrorism will be no more.[e]
3 The fortress will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal authority from Damascus;[f]
the survivors[g] from Aram[h] will be like the glory of the Israelis,”
    declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.
