Isaiah 17:2-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²Her towns will be deserted for ever;^[a]
    they will be places for flocks,
    which will lie down, and no one will make them afraid.
³The fortress will disappear from Ephraim,
    and the kingdom from Damascus;
and the remnant of Aram will be
    like the glory of the children of Israel,
says the Lord of hosts.

⁴On that day
the glory of Jacob will be brought low,
and the fat of his flesh will grow lean.
