Isaiah 17:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³The fortress will disappear from Ephraim,
and the kingdom from Damascus;
and the remnant of Aram will be
like the glory of the children of Israel,
says the Lord of hosts.

⁴On that day
    the glory of Jacob will be brought low,
    and the fat of his flesh will grow lean.
⁵And it shall be as when reapers gather standing grain
    and their arms harvest the ears,
and as when one gleans the ears of grain
    in the Valley of Rephaim.
