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.

    and his arm harvests the ears,
and as when one gleans the ears of grain
    in the Valley of Reph′aim.

    in the Valley of Rephaim.(I)
