Isaiah 17:1-3

EasyEnglish Bible

A message about Damascus

17 This is a message about Damascus:

‘Look! Damascus is no longer a city! It has become a heap of stones.

² Nobody lives in the cities of Aroer. Sheep and goats can safely go there to eat. They can lie down there and nobody will chase them away. ³ There will be no strong cities in Ephraim.^[a] No king will rule in Damascus. The few people who remain in Syria are no longer great, like Israel's people!’

That is what the Lord Almighty says.
