Isaiah 17:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Here is a message about Damascus: "Look, Damascus is no longer a city, it is a heap of ruins!
2 The cities of Aroer are abandoned. They will be used for herds, which will lie down there in peace.
3 Fortified cities will disappear from Ephraim, and Damascus will lose its kingdom. The survivors in Syria will end up like the splendor of the Israelites," says the LORD who commands armies.
4 "At that time Jacob's splendor will be greatly diminished, and he will become skin and bones.
5 It will be as when one gathers the grain harvest, and his hand gleans the ear of grain. It will be like one gathering the ears of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.
6 There will be some left behind, like when an olive tree is beaten� two or three ripe olives remain toward the very top, four or five on its fruitful branches," says the LORD God of Israel.
7 At that time men will trust in their creator; they will depend on the Holy One of Israel.
8 They will no longer trust in the altars their hands made, or depend on the Asherah poles and incense altars their fingers made.
9 At that time their fortified cities will be like the abandoned summits of the Amorites, which they abandoned because of the Israelites; there will be desolation.
10 For you ignore the God who rescues you; you pay no attention to your strong protector. So this is what happens: You cultivate beautiful plants and plant exotic vines.
11 The day you begin cultivating, you do what you can to make it grow; the morning you begin planting, you do what you can to make it sprout. Yet the harvest will disappear in the day of disease and incurable pain.
12 The many nations massing together are as good as dead, those who make a commotion as loud as the roaring of the sea's waves. The people making such an uproar are as good as dead, those who make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves.
13 Though these people make an uproar as loud as the roaring of powerful waves, when he shouts at them, they will flee to a distant land, driven before the wind like dead weeds on the hills, or like dead thistles before a strong gale.
14 In the evening there is sudden terror; by morning they vanish. This is the fate of those who try to plunder us, the destiny of those who try to loot us!
1 The burden H4853 of Damascus. H1834 Behold, H2009 Damascus H1834 is taken away H5493 from being a city H4480 H5892 , and it shall be H1961 a ruinous H4654 heap. H4596
2 The cities H5892 of Aroer H6177 are forsaken: H5800 they shall be H1961 for flocks, H5739 which shall lie down, H7257 and none H369 shall make them afraid. H2729
3 The fortress H4013 also shall cease H7673 from Ephraim H4480 H669 , and the kingdom H4467 from Damascus H4480 H1834 , and the remnant H7605 of Syria: H758 they shall be H1961 as the glory H3519 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635
4 And in that H1931 day H3117 it shall come to pass, H1961 that the glory H3519 of Jacob H3290 shall be made thin, H1809 and the fatness H4924 of his flesh H1320 shall wax lean. H7329
5 And it shall be H1961 as when the harvest man H7105 gathereth H622 the corn, H7054 and reapeth H7114 the ears H7641 with his arm; H2220 and it shall be H1961 as he that gathereth H3950 ears H7641 in the valley H6010 of Rephaim. H7497
6 Yet gleaning grapes H5955 shall be left H7604 in it , as the shaking H5363 of an olive tree, H2132 two H8147 or three H7969 berries H1620 in the top H7218 of the uppermost bough, H534 four H702 or five H2568 in the outermost fruitful H6509 branches H5585 thereof, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478
7 At that H1931 day H3117 shall a man H120 look H8159 to H5921 his Maker, H6213 and his eyes H5869 shall have respect H7200 to H413 the Holy One H6918 of Israel. H3478
8 And he shall not H3808 look H8159 to H413 the altars, H4196 the work H4639 of his hands, H3027 neither H3808 shall respect H7200 that which H834 his fingers H676 have made, H6213 either the groves, H842 or the images. H2553
9 In that H1931 day H3117 shall his strong H4581 cities H5892 be H1961 as a forsaken H5800 bough, H2793 and an uppermost branch, H534 which H834 they left H5800 because H4480 H6440 of the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 and there shall be H1961 desolation. H8077
10 Because H3588 thou hast forgotten H7911 the God H430 of thy salvation, H3468 and hast not H3808 been mindful H2142 of the rock H6697 of thy strength, H4581 therefore H5921 H3651 shalt thou plant H5193 pleasant H5282 plants, H5194 and shalt set H2232 it with strange H2114 slips: H2156
11 In the day H3117 shalt thou make thy plant H5194 to grow, H7735 and in the morning H1242 shalt thou make thy seed H2233 to flourish: H6524 but the harvest H7105 shall be a heap H5067 in the day H3117 of grief H2470 and of desperate H605 sorrow. H3511
12 Woe H1945 to the multitude H1995 of many H7227 people, H5971 which make a noise H1993 like the noise H1993 of the seas; H3220 and to the rushing H7588 of nations, H3816 that make a rushing H7582 like the rushing H7588 of mighty H3524 waters H4325 !
13 The nations H3816 shall rush H7582 like the rushing H7588 of many H7227 waters: H4325 but God shall rebuke H1605 them , and they shall flee H5127 far off H4480 H4801 , and shall be chased H7291 as the chaff H4671 of the mountains H2022 before H6440 the wind, H7307 and like a rolling thing H1534 before H6440 the whirlwind. H5492
14 And behold H2009 at eveningtide H6256 H6153 trouble; H1091 and before H2962 the morning H1242 he is not. H369 This H2088 is the portion H2506 of them that spoil H8154 us , and the lot H1486 of them that rob H962 us.
