Their hearts are troubled like a wild sea in a raging storm.Damascus has become feeble, and all her people turn to flee. Fear, anguish, and pain have gripped her as they grip a woman in labor.That famous city, a city of joy, will be forsaken!Her young men will fall in the streets and die.

This is the message from the Lord against the land of Aram and the city of Damascus, for the eyes of humanity, including all the tribes of Israel, are on the Lord.

This message came to me concerning Damascus:“ Look, the city of Damascus will disappear! It will become a heap of ruins.The towns of Aroer will be deserted. Flocks will graze in the streets and lie down undisturbed, with no one to chase them away.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.

He conquered the area from the town of Aroer by the Arnon Gorge to as far north as Gilead and Bashan.

Anyone who escapes from Hazael will be killed by Jehu, and those who escape Jehu will be killed by Elisha!

So the Lord was very angry with Israel, and he allowed King Hazael of Aram and his son Ben hadad to defeat them repeatedly.

From six disasters he will rescue you; even in the seventh, he will keep you from evil.
