Isaiah 17:2-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 17
2
The cities of Aroer are abandoned;
They will be for herds to lie down in,
And there will be no one to frighten
them.
3
The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
And sovereignty from Damascus
And the remnant of Aram;
They will be like the glory of the sons of Israel,'
Declares the
Lord
of armies.
4
Now on that day the glory of Jacob will fade,
And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
5
It will be like the reaper gathering the standing grain,
As his arm harvests the ears,
Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain
In the Valley of Rephaim.
6
Yet gleanings will be left in it like the shaking of an olive tree,
Two
or
three olives on the topmost branch,
Four
or
five on the branches of a fruitful tree,
Declares the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
7
On that day man will look to his Maker
And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.
8
And he will not look to the altars, the work of his hands,
Nor will he look to that which his fingers have made,
Even the Asherim and incense altars.
9
On that day their strong cities will be like abandoned places in the forest,
Or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel;
And the land will be a desolation.
King James Version
Chapter 17
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, saith the
Lord
of hosts.
4
And 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.
5
And 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.
6
Yet 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.
7
At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.
8
And 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.
9
In 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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 17
2
The cities of Aroer are abandoned;
they will be places for flocks.
They will lie down without fear.
3
The fortress disappears from Ephraim,
and a kingdom from Damascus.
The remnant of Aram will be
like the splendor of the Israelites.
This is the declaration of the
Lord
of Armies.
4
On that day
the splendor of Jacob will fade,
and his healthy body will become emaciated.
5
It will be as if a reaper had gathered standing grain—
his arm harvesting the heads of grain—
and as if one had gleaned heads of grain
in the Valley of Rephaim.
6
Only gleanings will be left in Israel,
as if an olive tree had been beaten—
two or three olives at the very top of the tree,
four or five on its fruitful branches. This is the declaration of the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
7
On that day people will look to their Maker and will turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
8
They will not look to the altars they made with their hands or to the Asherahs and shrines they made with their fingers.
9
On that day their strong cities will be
like the abandoned woods and mountaintops
that were abandoned because of the Israelites;
there will be desolation.
New Living Translation
Chapter 17
2
The towns of Aroer will be deserted.
Flocks will graze in the streets and lie down undisturbed,
with no one to chase them away.
3
The fortified towns of Israel will also be destroyed,
and the royal power of Damascus will end.
All that remains of Syria
will share the fate of Israel’s departed glory,'
declares the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies.
4
'In that day Israel’s glory will grow dim;
its robust body will waste away.
5
The whole land will look like a grainfield
after the harvesters have gathered the grain.
It will be desolate,
like the fields in the valley of Rephaim after the harvest.
6
Only a few of its people will be left,
like stray olives left on a tree after the harvest.
Only two or three remain in the highest branches,
four or five scattered here and there on the limbs,'
declares the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
7
Then at last the people will look to their Creator
and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
8
They will no longer look to their idols for help
or worship what their own hands have made.
They will never again bow down to their Asherah poles
or worship at the pagan shrines they have built.
9
Their largest cities will be like a deserted forest,
like the land the Hivites and Amorites abandoned
when the Israelites came here so long ago.
It will be utterly desolate.
English Standard Version
Chapter 17
2
The cities of Aroer are deserted;
they will be for flocks,
which will lie down, and none will make them afraid.
3
The fortress will disappear from Ephraim,
and the kingdom from Damascus;
and the remnant of Syria will be
like the glory of the children of Israel, declares the
Lord
of hosts.
4
And in that day the glory of Jacob will be brought low,
and the fat of his flesh will grow lean.
5
And it shall be as when the reaper gathers standing grain
and his arm harvests the ears,
and as when one gleans the ears of grain
in the Valley of Rephaim.
6
Gleanings will be left in it,
as when an olive tree is beaten —
two or three berries
in the top of the highest bough,
four or five
on the branches of a fruit tree, declares the
Lord
God of Israel.
7
In that day man will look to his Maker, and his eyes will look on the Holy One of Israel.
8
He will not look to the altars, the work of his hands, and he will not look on what his own fingers have made, either the Asherim or the altars of incense.
9
In that day their strong cities will be like the deserted places of the wooded heights and the hilltops, which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.
New International Version
Chapter 17
2
The cities of Aroer will be deserted
and left to flocks, which will lie down,
with no one to make them afraid.
3
The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
like the glory of the Israelites,"
declares the
Lord
Almighty.
4
"In that day the glory of Jacob will fade;
the fat of his body will waste away.
5
It will be as when reapers harvest the standing grain,
gathering the grain in their arms—
as when someone gleans heads of grain
in the Valley of Rephaim.
6
Yet some gleanings will remain,
as when an olive tree is beaten,
leaving two or three olives on the topmost branches,
four or five on the fruitful boughs,"
declares the
Lord
, the God of Israel.
7
In that day people will look to their Maker
and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.
8
They will not look to the altars,
the work of their hands,
and they will have no regard for the Asherah poles
and the incense altars their fingers have made.
9
In that day their strong cities, which they left because of the Israelites, will be like places abandoned to thickets and undergrowth. And all will be desolation.
New King James Version
Chapter 17
2
The cities of Aroer
are
forsaken;
They will be for flocks
Which lie down, and no one will make
them
afraid.
3
The fortress also will cease from Ephraim,
The kingdom from Damascus,
And the remnant of Syria;
They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
Says the
Lord
of hosts.
4
“In that day it shall come to pass
That
the glory of Jacob will wane,
And the fatness of his flesh grow lean.
5
It shall be as when the harvester gathers the grain,
And reaps the heads with his arm;
It shall be as he who gathers heads of grain
In the Valley of Rephaim.
6
Yet gleaning grapes will be left in it,
Like the shaking of an olive tree,
Two
or
three olives at the top of the uppermost bough,
Four
or
five in its most fruitful branches,”
Says the
Lord
God of Israel.
7
In that day a man will look to his Maker,
And his eyes will have respect for the Holy One of Israel.
8
He will not look to the altars,
The work of his hands;
He will not respect what his fingers have made,
Nor the wooden images nor the incense altars.
9
In that day his strong cities will be as a forsaken bough
And an uppermost branch,
Which they left because of the children of Israel;
And there will be desolation.
