17:1 The
burden
of
Damascus:
Behold,
Damascus
is
taken
away
from
being
a
citie,
and
it
shalbe
a
ruinous
heape.
17:2 The
cities
of
Aroer
are
forsaken:
they
shall
bee
for
flockes,
which
shall
lye
downe,
and
none
shall
make
them
afraid.
17:3 The
fortresse
also
shall
cease
from
Ephraim,
and
the
kingdome
from
Damascus,
and
the
remnant
of
Syria:
they
shall
bee
as
the
glorie
of
the
children
of
Israel,
saith
the
Lord
of
hostes.
17:4 And
in
that
day
it
shall
come
to
passe,
that
the
glory
of
Iacob
shall
bee
made
thinne,
and
the
fatnesse
of
his
flesh
shall
waxe
leane.
17:5 And
it
shall
be
as
when
the
haruest-man
gathereth
the
corne,
and
reapeth
the
eares
with
his
arme;
and
it
shalbe
as
he
that
gathereth
eares
in
the
valley
of
Rephaim.
17:6 (Yet
gleaning-grapes
shall
be
left
in
it,
as
the
shaking
of
an
Oliue
tree,
two
or
three
berries
in
the
toppe
of
the
vppermost
bough:
foure
or
fiue
in
the
out-most
fruitfull
branches
thereof,
saith
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
17:7 At
that
day
shall
a
man
looke
to
his
Maker,
and
his
eyes
shall
haue
respect
to
the
Holy
one
of
Israel.
17:8 And
hee
shall
not
looke
to
the
altars,
the
worke
of
his
handes,
neither
shall
respect
that
which
his
fingers
haue
made,
either
the
groues
or
the
images.)
17:9 In
that
day
shall
his
strong
cities
be
as
a
forsaken
bough,
and
an
vppermost
branch,
which
they
left,
because
of
the
children
of
Israel:
and
there
shalbe
desolation.
17:10 Because
thou
hast
forgotten
the
God
of
thy
saluation,
and
hast
not
beene
mindfull
of
the
rocke
of
thy
strength:
therefore
shalt
thou
plant
pleasant
plants,
and
shalt
set
it
with
strange
slips.
17:11 In
the
day
shalt
thou
make
thy
plant
to
grow,
and
in
the
morning
shalt
thou
make
thy
seede
to
flourish:
but
the
haruest
shall
be
a
heape
in
the
day
of
griefe,
and
of
desperate
sorrow.
17:12 Woe
to
the
multitude
of
many
people,
which
make
a
noise,
like
the
noise
of
the
seas;
and
to
the
rushing
of
nations,
that
make
a
rushing,
like
the
rushing
of
mighty
waters.
17:13 The
nations
shall
rush
like
the
rushing
of
many
waters:
but
God
shall
rebuke
them,
and
they
shall
flee
farre
off,
and
shalbe
chased
as
the
chaffe
of
the
mountaines
before
the
wind,
and
like
a
rolling
thing
before
the
whirlewind.
17:14 And
behold
at
euening
tide
trouble,
and
before
the
morning
he
is
not:
this
is
the
portion
of
them
that
spoile
vs,
and
the
lot
of
them
that
robbe
vs.
