Isaiah 17:3-5

International Standard Version

³ The fortress will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal authority from Damascus;^[a]
the survivors^[b] from Aram^[c] will be like the glory of the Israelis,”
    declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.

⁴ “At that time,^[d] Jacob’s glory will have become weakened,
    and his strong^[e] flesh will turn gaunt;
⁵ it will be as if harvesters gather standing grain,
    reaping the ears by hand,^[f]
or it will be as if grain is harvested
    in the valley of Rephaim.^[g]
