1. The burden concerning Damascus.
2. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3. The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel,
4. And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall fade, and the fatness of his flesh shall grow lean.
