A Message about Damascus and Israel

17 This message came to me concerning Damascus:

“Look, the city of Damascus will disappear!
    It will become a heap of ruins.
The towns of Aroer will be deserted.
    Flocks will graze in the streets and lie down undisturbed,
    with no one to chase them away.
The fortified towns of Israel[a] will also be destroyed,
    and the royal power of Damascus will end.
All that remains of Syria[b]
    will share the fate of Israel’s departed glory,”
    declares the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
