Isaiah 17

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

onus Damasci ecce Damascus desinet esse civitas et erit sicut acervus lapidum in ruina

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

derelictae civitates Aroer gregibus erunt et requiescent ibi et non erit qui exterreat

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.

et cessabit adiutorium ab Ephraim et regnum a Damasco et reliquiae Syriae sicut gloria filiorum Israhel erunt dicit Dominus exercituum

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.

et erit in die illa adtenuabitur gloria Iacob et pingue carnis eius marcescet

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.

et erit sicut congregans in messe quod restiterit et brachium eius spicas leget et erit sicut quaerens spicas in valle Rafaim

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.

et relinquetur in eo sicut racemus et sicut excussio oleae duarum aut trium olivarum in summitate rami sive quattuor aut quinque in cacuminibus eius fructus eius dicit Dominus Deus Israhel

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

in die illa inclinabitur homo ad factorem suum et oculi eius ad Sanctum Israhel respicient

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.

et non inclinabitur ad altaria quae fecerunt manus eius et quae operati sunt digiti eius non respiciet lucos et delubra

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.

in die illa erunt civitates fortitudinis eius derelictae sicut aratra et segetes quae derelictae sunt a facie filiorum Israhel et erit deserta

Because 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:

quia oblita es Dei salvatoris tui et Fortis adiutoris tui non es recordata propterea plantabis plantationem fidelem et germen alienum seminabis

In 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.

in die plantationis tuae labrusca et mane semen tuum florebit ablata est messis in die hereditatis et dolebit graviter

Woe 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!

vae multitudo populorum multorum ut multitudo maris sonantis et tumultus turbarum sicut sonitus aquarum multarum

The 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.

sonabunt populi sicut sonitus aquarum inundantium et increpabit eum et fugiet procul et rapietur sicut pulvis montium a facie venti et sicut turbo coram tempestate

And 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.

in tempore vespere et ecce turbatio in matutino et non subsistet haec est pars eorum qui vastaverunt nos et sors diripientium nos
