1 This is the divine revelation about Damascus.“Damascus will no longer be a city.It will become a pile of rubble.
2 The cities of Aroer will be deserted.These cities will be used for sheep, which will lie down in them.There will be no one to disturb those sheep.
3 Fortified cities will disappear from Ephraim,and the kingdom will disappear from Damascus.The remaining few from Aram will share Israel’s honor,”declares the Lord of Armies.
4 “When that day comes, the honor of Jacob’s people will fade away,and they will become skin and bones.
