1Damascus is totally ghosted as a city, now it's just a wreck. Major vibes.

2Aroer's cities are left in the dust; they're just chillin' for flocks, no fears here.

3Ephraim's fortress is donezo, and Damascus is out; the remnant of Syria is just a shadow of Israel's glory, says the Lord.

4That day, Jacob's glory is gonna be looking skinny, like, no cap, he’s losing that weight.

5It’s like when a harvest dude gathers corn, just flexing with those ears in the Rephaim valley.

6But some grapes will still be left, like when you shake an olive tree, just a few berries up top, God’s got the lowdown.

7On that day, a man will peep his Maker, eyes on the Holy One of Israel, fr.

8He won't be checking out his own altars or whatever he made; those vibes are sus.

9His strong cities will be like a forgotten branch, left behind by Israel’s kids, total desolation.

10You forgot the God who saves you, and now you're planting pretty plants with some sketchy slips, periodt.

11On that day, you’ll try to make your plant grow, but morning brings a sad harvest, just a pile of grief.

12Yikes to the crowd making noise like the seas; nations rushing like mighty waters, straight chaotic.

13Nations will rush like wild waters, but God’s gonna shut that down, they’ll bounce like chaff in the wind.

14And look, trouble's coming at night; by morning, it's gone. That’s what happens to those who mess with us.

1The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.

2The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

3The 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, saith the Lord of hosts.

4And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.

5And it shall be as when the harvestman gathereth the corn, and reapeth the ears with his arm; and it shall be as he that gathereth ears in the valley of Rephaim.

6Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries in the top of the uppermost bough, four or five in the outmost fruitful branches thereof, saith the Lord God of Israel.

7At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

8And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, neither shall respect that which his fingers have made, either the groves, or the images.

9In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation.

10Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, therefore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips:

11In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow.

12Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!

13The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

14And behold at eveningtide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us.
