“The cities [a]of (A)Aroer are forsaken;
They will be for (B)flocks [b]to lie down in,
And there will be (C)no one to frighten them.
“The [c](D)fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
And [d]sovereignty from Damascus
And the remnant of Aram;
They will be like the (E)glory of the sons of Israel,”
Declares the Lord of hosts.

Now in that day the (F)glory of Jacob will [e]fade,
And (G)the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
