17 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

¹² In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

¹⁹ When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

¹³ He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
