Verse Info. Notes Is 17:1 The [mournful, inspired] oracle (a burden to be carried) concerning Damascus [capital of Aram (Syria), and Israel's defense against Assyria].
"Listen carefully, Damascus will cease to be a city
And will become a fallen ruin.
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:2 "The cities of Aroer [east of the Jordan] are deserted;
They will be [only a refuge] for flocks to lie down in,
And there will be no one to make them afraid.
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:3 "The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
And the kingdom from Damascus
And the remnant of Aram (Syria);
They will be like the [departed] glory of [her ally] the children of Israel,"
Declares the LORD of hosts.
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:4 ¶ "Now in that day the [former] glory of Jacob [Israel--his might, his population, his prosperity] will fade,
And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:5 "And it will be like the reaper gathering the standing grain,
As his arm harvests the ears of grain;
Yes, it will be like one gleaning ears of grain
In the [fertile] Valley of Rephaim.
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:6 "Yet gleanings will be left in the land [of Israel] like the shaking of the olive tree,
Two or three olives on the topmost branch,
Four or five on the [outermost] branches of the fruitful tree,"
Declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:7 In that day man will have regard for his Maker,
And his eyes will regard the Holy One of Israel [with awe-inspired reverence].
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:8 And he will not have regard for the [idolatrous] altars, the work of his hands,
Nor will he look to that which his fingers have made,
Neither the Asherim (symbols of the goddess Asherah) nor the incense altars.
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:9 In that day the strong cities of Aram and Israel will be like deserted places in the forest,
Or like branches which they abandoned before the children of Israel;
And the land will be a desolation.
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:10 Because you [Judah] have forgotten the God of your salvation
And have not remembered the Rock of your Stronghold--
Therefore you plant lovely plants
And set the grounds with vine slips of a strange god,
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:11 In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in,
And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom;
Yet [promising as it is] the harvest will be a heap [of ruins that passes away]
In the day of sickness and incurable pain.
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:12 ¶ Oh, the uproar of many peoples
Who roar like the roaring of the seas,
And the noise of nations
Who roar like the rumbling of mighty waters!
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:13 The nations roar on like the roaring of many waters,
But God will rebuke them and they will flee far away,
And be chased like chaff on the mountains before the wind,
Or like whirling dust before the storm.
Verse Info. Notes Is 17:14 At evening time, now look, sudden terror!
Before morning the Assyrians are no more.
This is the portion (fate) of those who plunder us,
And the lot of those who pillage us.
