Isaiah 17

Isaiah prophesies the destruction of Damascus, turning it into a ruinous heap, and the end of Ephraim's fortresses and Syria's kingdom, with their remnant like Israel's glory, declares YHWH Tseva'ot[1][2][3]. Israel's glory fades like a harvested field with few gleanings left; due to forgetting the Rock of salvation and idolatry, their cities desolate and planted gardens fail, yet YHWH rebukes roaring nations that plunder Israel, scattering them like chaff by morning[1][2][3][4].
