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.
The work of his hands;
He will not respect what his afingers have made,
Nor the1 wooden images nor the incense altars.
And1 an uppermost branch,
Which they left because of the children of Israel;
And there will be desolation.
And have not been mindful of the Rock of your1 stronghold,
Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
And set out foreign seedlings;
And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will be a heap of ruins
In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.
Who make a noise alike the roar of the seas,
And to the rushing of nations
That make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
But God will arebuke them and they will flee far away,
And bbe chased like the chaff of the mountains before the wind,
Like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.
| << Isaiah 17:4 | Isaiah 17:6 >> |
