Book 23 Isaiah Chapter 017

 

017:001The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from
being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

 

017:002The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks,
which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

 

017:003The 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, saith the LORD of hosts.

 

017:004And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob
shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax
lean.

 

017:005And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and
reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that
gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

 

017:006Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an
olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost
bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof,
saith the LORD God of Israel.

 

017:007At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall
have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

 

017:008And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands,
neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either
the groves, or the images.

 

017:009In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough,
and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the
children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

 

017:010Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast
not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt
thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange
slips:

 

017:011In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the
morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest
shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

 

017:012Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like
the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that
make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

 

017:013The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but
God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall
be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and
like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

 

017:014And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he
is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot
of them that rob us.
