1. This is the divine revelation about Damascus.“Damascus will no longer be a city.It will become a pile of rubble.
2. The cities of Aroer will be deserted.These cities will be used for sheep, which will lie down in them.There will be no one to disturb those sheep.
3. Fortified cities will disappear from Ephraim,and the kingdom will disappear from Damascus.The remaining few from Aram will share Israel’s honor,”declares the Lord of Armies.
