蓋此子未知棄惡擇善之先、爾所疾之二王、其國為墟、

當其年華未富、明睿未開之日、爾所懼之二王、其國必為墟、

蓋此子尚未明棄惡擇善之先、爾所懼之二王、其國必荒蕪、

For before this child is old enough to say‘ Papa’ or‘ Mama,’ the king of Assyria will carry away both the abundance of Damascus and the riches of Samaria.”

I will give the land to your little ones— your innocent children. You were afraid they would be captured, but they will be the ones who occupy it.

So the king of Assyria attacked the Aramean capital of Damascus and led its population away as captives, resettling them in Kir. He also killed King Rezin.

This is what the Lord says:“ The people of Damascus have sinned again and again, and I will not let them go unpunished! They beat down my people in Gilead as grain is threshed with iron sledges.So I will send down fire on King Hazael’s palace, and the fortresses of King Ben hadad will be destroyed.I will break down the gates of Damascus and slaughter the people in the valley of Aven. I will destroy the ruler in Beth eden, and the people of Aram will go as captives to Kir,” says the Lord.

One thing is certain, Israel: On your day of punishment, you will become a heap of rubble.

But Nineveh has more than 120,000 people living in spiritual darkness, not to mention all the animals. Shouldn’t I feel sorry for such a great city?”

During Pekah’s reign, King Tiglath pileser of Assyria attacked Israel again, and he captured the towns of Ijon, Abel beth maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, and Hazor. He also conquered the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and all of Naphtali, and he took the people to Assyria as captives.Then Hoshea son of Elah conspired against Pekah and assassinated him. He began to rule over Israel in the twentieth year of Jotham son of Uzziah.

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.

But the Lord will bring Rezin’s enemies against Israel and stir up all their foes.
