The ·strong, walled [fortified] cities of ·Israel [L Ephraim; C the most influential tribe of the northern kingdom of Israel] will be destroyed.
    The ·government in Damascus will end [L kingdom from Damascus; C the capital of Syria].
·Those left alive [The remnant] of Aram [C Syria] will be
    like the glory of Israel,” says the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts].

“·At that time [L In that day] ·Israel’s wealth [L Jacob’s glory] will ·all be gone [or fade; wane].
    ·Israel will be like a body wasting away from sickness [L The fatness of his flesh will grow lean].
That time will be like the grain harvest in the Valley of Rephaim.
    The workers cut the wheat.
    Then they cut the heads of grain from the plants
    and collect the grain.

The fortified(A) city will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
    like the glory(B) of the Israelites,”(C)

    the fat of his body will waste(F) away.

    gathering(G) the grain in their arms—
as when someone gleans heads of grain(H)
    in the Valley of Rephaim.(I)
