Her cities will be deserted for ever;[a]
    they will be for flocks,
    which will lie down, and none will make them afraid.
The fortress will disappear from E′phraim,
    and the kingdom from Damascus;
and the remnant of Syria will be
    like the glory of the children of Israel,
                says the Lord of hosts.

And in that day
    the glory of Jacob will be brought low,
    and the fat of his flesh will grow lean.
