Isaiah 17:3-5
International Standard Version
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.
A Time of Weakness for Israel
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]
