Prophecy against Damascus

^16 [a](A)Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of ^(B)Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran. ¹⁷ The boundary shall ^[b]extend from the sea to ^(C)Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, and on the north toward the north is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

¹⁸ “The ^(D)east side, from between Hauran, Damascus, ^(E)Gilead, and the land of Israel, shall be the ^(F)Jordan; from the north border to the eastern sea you shall measure. This is the east side.
