1

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city, and it will be like a heap of stones in ruin.

The cities in ruin will be left for the flocks, and they will take rest there, and there will be no one who may terrify them.

3

And assistance will cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom will cease from Damascus. And the remnant of Syria will be like the glory of the sons of Israel, says the Lord of hosts.

4

And this shall be in that day: the glory of Jacob will be thinned, and the fatness of his flesh will be reduced.

5

And it shall be like the gathering of the harvest which remains, and his arm will pick the ears of grain. And it shall be like a search for grain in the valley of Rephaim.

6

And what is left behind in it will be like one cluster of grapes, or like a shaken olive tree with two or three olives at the top of a branch, or like four or five olives at the top of a tree, says the Lord God of Israel.
