Isaiah 17

1 The burden of Damascus. Beholde, Damascus is taken away from being a citie, for it shall be a ruinous heape.

[the] oracle of Damascus there! Damascus [is] about to be removed from a city and it will be a ruin of a ruin.

2 The cities of Aroer shall be forsaken: they shall be for the flockes: for they shall lye there, and none shall make them afraide.

[will be] abandoned [the] cities of Aroer for flocks they will be and they will lie down and there not [will be one who] terrifies.

3 The munition also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdome from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, sayeth the Lord of hostes.

And it will cease fortress from Ephraim and kingship from Damascus and [the] remnant of Aram like [the] glory of [the] people of Israel they will be [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts.

4 And in that day the glorie of Iaakob shall be impouerished, and the fatnes of his flesh shalbe made leane.

And it will be in the day that it will become low [the] glory of Jacob and [the] fatness of flesh its it will be made lean.

5 And it shalbe as when the haruest man gathereth the corne, and reapeth the eares with his arme, and he shall be as he that gathereth the eares in the valley of Rephaim.

And it will be like [the] gathering of a harvest of standing grain and arm his ears of grain someone will reap and it will be like [one who] gathers ears of grain in [the] valley of Rephaim.

6 Yet a gathering of grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an oliue tree, two or three beries are in the top of the vpmost boughes, and foure or fiue in the hie branches of the fruite thereof, sayeth the Lord God of Israel.

And it will be left in it gleanings like [the] beating of an olive tree two three olives at [the] top of [the] tree-top four five on branches its fruit-bearing [the] utterance of Yahweh [the] God of Israel.

7 At that day shall a man looke to his maker, and his eyes shall looke to the holy one of Israel.

In the day that he will look person on maker his and eyes his to [the] holy [one] of Israel they will see.

8 And hee shall not looke to the altars, the workes of his owne hands, neither shall he looke to those thinges, which his owne fingers haue made, as groues and images.

And not he will look to the altars [the] work of hands his and [that] which they have made fingers his not he will see and the Asherah poles and the incense altars.

9 In that day shall the cities of their strength be as the forsaking of boughes and branches, which they did forsake, because of the children of Israel, and there shall be desolation.

In the day that they will be - [the] cities of refuge his like [the] forsaken [place] of the forest and the tree-top which they abandoned because of [the] people of Israel and it will be a desolation.

10 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy saluation, and hast not remembred the God of thy strength, therefore shalt thou set pleasant plantes, and shalt graffe strange vine branches:

For you have forgotten [the] God of salvation your and [the] rock of refuge your not you have remembered there-fore you plant plantations of pleasantness and [the] vine branch of a stranger you sow it.

11 In the day shalt thou make thy plant to growe, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seede to florish: but the haruest shall be gone in the day of possession, and there shalbe desperate sorrowe.

On [the] day of planting your you cause to grow and in the morning seed your you cause to sprout a heap a harvest in a day of [being] sick and pain incurable.

12 Ah, the multitude of many people, they shall make a sounde like the noyse of the sea: for the noyse of the people shall make a sounde like the noyse of mightie waters.

Woe to! [the] tumult of peoples many as roar [the] seas they roar! and [the] uproar of nations like [the] uproar of waters mighty they are in an uproar!

13 The people shall make a sounde like the noise 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 winde, and as a rolling thing before the whirlewinde.

Nations like [the] uproar of waters many they are in an uproar! and he will rebuke it and it will flee from a distance and it will be chased like chaff of mountains before a wind and like whirling dust before a storm-wind.

14 And loe, in the euening there is trouble: but afore the morning it is gone. This is the portion of them that spoyle vs, and the lot of them that robbe vs.

To a time of evening and there! sudden terror before morning there not [is] it this [will be] [the] portion of [those who] plunder us and [the] lot of [those who] despoil us.
