(Jeremiah 49:23–27)
1
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, || And it has been a heapa ruin.
2
The cities of Aroer are forsaken, || They are for droves, and they have lain down, || And there is none troubling.
3
And the fortress has ceased from Ephraim, || And the kingdom from Damascus, || And the remnant of Aram are as the glory of the sons of Israel, || A declaration of YHWH of Hosts!
4
And it has come to pass in that day, || The glory of Jacob waxes poor, || And the fatness of his flesh waxes lean.
5
And it has come to pass, || As the gathering of the standing grain by the reaper, || And his arm reaps the ears, || And it has come to pass, || As the gathering of the ears in the Valley of Rephaim,
6
And gleanings have been left in him, || As the surrounding of an olive, || Twothree berries on the top of a branch, || Fourfive on the fruitful boughs, || A declaration of YHWH, God of Israel!
7
In that day man looks to His Maker, || Indeed, his eyes look to the Holy One of Israel,
8
And he does not look to the altars. The work of his own hands, || And that which his own fingers made, He does not seethe Asherim and the images.
9
In that day the cities of his strength are || As the forsaken thing of the forest, || And the branch that they have left, || Because of the sons of Israel, || It has also been a desolation.
10
Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, || And have not remembered the Rock of your strength, || Therefore you plant plants of pleasantness, || And sow it with a strange shoot,
11
You cause your plant to become great in the day, || And make your seed to flourish in the morning, || The harvest [is] a heap in a day of overflowing, || And of mortal pain.
12
Woe [to] the multitude of many peoples, || They sound as the sounding of seas; And the roaring of nations, || As the roaring of mighty waters [that] make a crashing.
13
Nations crash as the roaring of many waters, || And He rebuked them, || And they fled far off, || And were pursued as chaff of hills before wind, || And as a rolling thing before a windstorm.
14
At evening, behold, terror, before morning it is not, || This [is] the portion of our spoilers, || And the lot of our plunderers!
