Isaiah 17:3 Context
1The burden of Damascus: Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a citie, and it shalbe a ruinous heape. 2The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall bee for flockes, which shall lye downe, and none shall make them afraid. 3The fortresse also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdome from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall bee as the glorie of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hostes. 4And in that day it shall come to passe, that the glory of Iacob shall bee made thinne, and the fatnesse of his flesh shall waxe leane. 5And it shall be as when the haruest-man gathereth the corne, and reapeth the eares with his arme; and it shalbe as he that gathereth eares in the valley of Rephaim.
