1 The burden concerning Damascus.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
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,
4 And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall fade, and the fatness of his flesh shall grow lean.
