OEB ISA Chapter 17

ISA 17 ©

17Oracle on Damascus

See! Soon will Damascus no more be a city,

but only ruin, forsaken for ever.

2To the grazing of flocks will her cities be given,

and there will they lie, with not one to affright them.

3The fortress will vanish from Ephraim,

and the dynasty from Damascus.

The remnant of Aram will perish,

their fate will be Israel’s fate,

says the Lord of Hosts.

The doom of Israel

4That day it will come to pass

that the glory of Jacob will pale,

and the fat of his flesh will be wasted;

5or like gleanings it will be,

when a reaper gathers the corn,

and his arm reaps the ears –

the ears of corn that are gleaned

in the valley of Rephaim;

6or the gleanings that are left

when an olive-tree has been beaten –

a berry or two on the uppermost branch,

four of five on the boughs of a fruit tree:

thus says the Lord, the God of Israel.

7In that day men will look to their maker,

and turn their eyes unto Israel’s Holy One;

8not to the work of their hands will they look,

nor to things that their fingers have made will they turn.

9That day will your cities deserted be

like the derelict cities of Hivite and Amorite.

10Because you forgot the God who had helped you,

and did not remember the rock of your refuge;

though you planted Adonis’ gardens,

and stocked them with foreign slips;

11though you fence them the day they are set,

and next morn bring your seedlings to blossom:

your harvest will vanish away

in the day of your sickness and desperate pain.

The speedy doom of the Assyrians

Their sudden destruction

12Ha!

The uproar of peoples many!

They roar like the roar of the sea:

the thunder of mighty nations,

they thunder as ocean thunders.

13But the Lord will rebuke them,

and far they will flee, pursued

like chaff on the hills before wind,

or like dust in the face of the hurricane.

14At even-tide, lo! Terror:

ere morning they are gone.

Such is the fate of those who despoil us,

the lot of those who plunder us.

Isaiah’s answer to the Ethiopian ambassadors
