Isaiah 17:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ Israel^[a] will lose its fortresses.
The kingdom of Damascus
    will be destroyed;
its survivors will suffer
    the same fate as Israel.
The Lord All-Powerful
    has promised this.

⁴ When that time comes,
the glorious nation of Israel
    will be brought down;
its prosperous people
    will be skin and bones.
⁵ Israel will be like wheat fields
in Rephaim Valley
    picked clean of grain.
