1. The burden of Damascus. Lo, Damascus is taken away from being a city, And it hath been a heap -- a ruin.
|
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. Forsaken are the cities of Aroer, For droves they are, and they have lain down, And there is none troubling.
|
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. And ceased hath the fortress from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Aram are as the honour of the sons of Israel, The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!
|
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 it hath come to pass, in that day, Wax poor doth the honour of Jacob, And the fatness of his flesh doth wax lean.
|
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 hath come to pass, As the gathering by the reaper of the standing corn, And his arm the ears reapeth, And it hath come to pass, As the gathering of the ears in the valley of Rephaim,
|
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. And left in him have been gleanings, As the compassing of an olive, Two -- three berries on the top of a branch, Four -- five on the fruitful boughs, The affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel!
|
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. In that day doth man look to His Maker, Yea, his eyes to the Holy One of Israel look,
|
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 looketh not unto the altars. The work of his own hands, And that which his own fingers made He seeth not -- the shrines and the images.
|
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 day are the cities of his strength As the forsaken thing of the forest, And the branch that they have left, Because of the sons of Israel, It also hath been a desolation.
|
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 thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, And the rock of thy strength hast not remembered, Therefore thou plantest plants of pleasantness, And with a strange slip sowest it,
|
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 thy plant thou causest to become great, And in the morning thy seed makest to flourish, A heap is the harvest in a day of overflowing, And of mortal pain.
|
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. Wo to the multitude of many peoples, As the sounding of seas they sound; And to the wasting of nations, As the wasting of mighty waters they are wasted.
|
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. Nations as the wasting of many waters are wasted, And He hath pushed against it, And it hath fled afar off, And been pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing before a hurricane.
|
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. At even-time, lo, terror, before morning it is not, This is the portion of our spoilers, And the lot of our plunderers!
|
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.
