³ The fortified^(A) city will disappear from Ephraim,
    and royal power from Damascus;
the remnant of Aram will be
    like the glory^(B) of the Israelites,”^(C)
declares the Lord Almighty.

⁷ But as for me, I watch^(A) in hope^(B) for the Lord,
    I wait for God my Savior;
    my God will hear^(C) me.
