And the fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
    and the kingdom from Damascus;
        and the remnant of Aram will be like the glory of the children of Israel,”

declares[a] Yahweh of hosts.

“And this shall happen:

On that day, the glory of Jacob will be brought low,
    and the fat of his flesh will become lean.
And it shall be as when a reaper gathers[b] standing grain
    and he reaps grain with his arm,
and it shall be like one who gathers ears of grain
    in the valley of Rephaim.
