17:1 The burden 4853 of Damascus 1834. Behold, Damascus 1834 is taken away 5493 8716 from [being] a city 5892, and it shall be a ruinous 4654 heap 4596.

17:2 The cities 5892 of Aroer 6177 [are] forsaken 5800 8803: they shall be for flocks 5739, which shall lie down 7257 8804, and none shall make [them] afraid 2729 8688.

17:3 The fortress 4013 also shall cease 7673 8738 from Ephraim 669, and the kingdom 4467 from Damascus 1834, and the remnant 7605 of Syria 758: they shall be as the glory 3519 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.

17:4 And in that day 3117 it shall come to pass, [that] the glory 3519 of Jacob 3290 shall be made thin 1809 8735, and the fatness 4924 of his flesh 1320 shall wax lean 7329 8735.

17:5 And it shall be as when the harvestman 7105 gathereth 622 8800 the corn 7054, and reapeth 7114 8799 the ears 7641 with his arm 2220; and it shall be as he that gathereth 3950 8764 ears 7641 in the valley 6010 of Rephaim 7497.

17:6 Yet gleaning grapes 5955 shall be left 7604 8738 in it, as the shaking 5363 of an olive tree 2132, two 8147 [or] three 7969 berries 1620 in the top 7218 of the uppermost bough 534, four 702 [or] five 2568 in the outmost fruitful 6509 8802 branches 5585 thereof, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478.

17:7 At that day 3117 shall a man 120 look 8159 8799 to his Maker 6213 8802, and his eyes 5869 shall have respect 7200 8799 to the Holy 6918 One of Israel 3478.

17:8 And he shall not look 8159 8799 to the altars 4196, the work 4639 of his hands 3027, neither shall respect 7200 8799 [that] which his fingers 676 have made 6213 8804, either the groves 842, or the images 2553.(images: or, sun images)

17:9 In that day 3117 shall his strong 4581 cities 5892 be as a forsaken 5800 8803 bough 2793, and an uppermost branch 534, which they left 5800 8804 because 6440 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478: and there shall be desolation 8077.

17:10 Because thou hast forgotten 7911 8804 the God 430 of thy salvation 3468, and hast not been mindful 2142 8804 of the rock 6697 of thy strength 4581, therefore shalt thou plant 5193 8799 pleasant 5282 plants 5194, and shalt set 2232 8799 it with strange 2114 8801 slips 2156:

17:11 In the day 3117 shalt thou make thy plant 5194 to grow 7735 8770, and in the morning 1242 shalt thou make thy seed 2233 to flourish 6524 8686: [but] the harvest 7105 [shall be] a heap 5067 in the day 3117 of grief 2470 8737 and of desperate 605 8803 sorrow 3511.(a heap…: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow)

17:12 Woe 1945 to the multitude 1995 of many 7227 people 5971, [which] make a noise 1993 8799 like the noise 1993 8800 of the seas 3220; and to the rushing 7588 of nations 3816, [that] make a rushing like the rushing 7582 8735 of mighty 3524 waters 4325!(multitude: or, noise)(mighty: or, many)

17:13 The nations 3816 shall rush 7582 8735 like the rushing 7588 of many 7227 waters 4325: but [God] shall rebuke 1605 8804 them, and they shall flee 5127 8804 far off 4801, and shall be chased 7291 8795 as the chaff 4671 of the mountains 2022 before 6440 the wind 7307, and like a rolling thing 1534 before 6440 the whirlwind 5492.(a rolling…: or, thistledown)

17:14 And behold at eveningtide 6256 6153 trouble 1091; [and] before the morning 1242 he [is] not. This [is] the portion 2506 of them that spoil 8154 8802 us, and the lot 1486 of them that rob 962 8802 us.
