Proclamation Against Syria and Israel
“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city,
And it will be a ruinous heap.
They will be for flocks
Which lie down, and bno one will make them afraid.
The kingdom from Damascus,
And the remnant of Syria;
They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
That the glory of Jacob will1 wane,
And athe fatness of his flesh grow lean.
And reaps the heads with his arm;
It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain
In the Valley of Rephaim.
Like the shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives at the top of the uppermost bough,
Four or five in its most fruitful branches,”
Says the Lord God of Israel.
And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 17:3
The remnant of Syria "The pride of Syria" - For shear , "remnant," Houbigant reads seeth , "pride," answering, as the sentence seems evidently to require, to cabod , "the glory of Israel." The conjecture is so very probable that I venture to follow it.
As the glory - bichbod , "In the glory," is the reading of eight MSS., and ten editions.
