A prophecy: The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrak and will come to rest on Damascus— for the eyes of all people and all the tribes of Israel are on the Lord—

This is a prophecy. It is the Lord’ s message against the land of Hadrak. He will judge Damascus. That’s because all the tribes of Israel look to him. So do all other people.

The oracle of the word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrach and Damascus is its resting place. For the Lord has an eye on mankind and on all the tribes of Israel,

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.

A pronouncement: The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is its resting place— for the eyes of humanity and all the tribes of Israel are on the LORD—

The pronouncement of the word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrach, with Damascus as its resting place( for the eyes of mankind, especially of all the tribes of Israel, are toward the Lord),

The burden of the word of the Lord Against the land of Hadrach, And Damascus its resting place( For the eyes of men And all the tribes of Israel Are on the Lord);

The burden of the word of Jehovah upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be its resting- place( for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Jehovah);

An Oracle The word of the Lord is against the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is its resting place— for the eyes of men and all the tribes of Israel are on the Lord—

The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus[ shall be] the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel,[ shall be] toward the LORD.

A revelation. Yahweh’s word is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward Yahweh;

This is what the LORD says:“ Because Damascus has committed three crimes– make that four!– I will not revoke my decree of judgment. They ripped through Gilead like threshing sledges with iron teeth.So I will set Hazael’s house on fire; fire will consume Ben Hadad’s fortresses.I will break the bar on the gate of Damascus. I will remove the ruler from Wicked Valley, the one who holds the royal scepter from Beth Eden. The people of Aram will be deported to Kir.” The LORD has spoken!

The LORD spoke about Damascus.“ The people of Hamath and Arpad will be dismayed because they have heard bad news. Their courage will melt away because of worry. Their hearts will not be able to rest.The people of Damascus will lose heart and turn to flee. Panic will grip them. Pain and anguish will seize them like a woman in labor.How deserted will that once-famous city be, that city that was once filled with joy!For her young men will fall in her city squares. All her soldiers will be destroyed at that time,” says the LORD who rules over all.“ I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will burn up the palaces of Ben Hadad.”

I continually look to the LORD for help, for he will free my feet from the enemy’s net.

Then I said,“ LORD, you give me strength and protect me. You are the one I can run to for safety when I am in trouble. Nations from all over the earth will come to you and say,‘ Our ancestors had nothing but false gods– worthless idols that could not help them at all.

Everything looks to you in anticipation, and you provide them with food on a regular basis.

The LORD said to me,“ Jeremiah, when one of these people, or a prophet, or a priest asks you,‘ What burdensome message do you have from the LORD?’ Tell them,‘ You are the burden, and I will cast you away. I, the LORD, affirm it!I will punish any prophet, priest, or other person who says“ The LORD’s message is burdensome.” I will punish both that person and his whole family.’”So I, Jeremiah, tell you,“ Each of you people should say to his friend or his relative,‘ How did the LORD answer? Or what did the LORD say?’You must no longer say that the LORD’s message is burdensome. For what is‘ burdensome’ really pertains to what a person himself says. You are misrepresenting the words of our God, the living God, the LORD who rules over all.Each of you should merely ask the prophet,‘ What answer did the LORD give you? Or what did the LORD say?’But just suppose you continue to say,‘ The message of the LORD is burdensome.’ Here is what the LORD says will happen:‘ I sent word to you that you must not say,“ The LORD’s message is burdensome.” But you used the words“ The LORD’s message is burdensome” anyway.

Gather together and come! Approach together, you refugees from the nations! Those who carry wooden idols know nothing, those who pray to a god that cannot deliver.Tell me! Present the evidence! Let them consult with one another! Who predicted this in the past? Who announced it beforehand? Was it not I, the LORD? I have no peer, there is no God but me, a God who vindicates and delivers; there is none but me.Turn to me so you can be delivered, all you who live in the earth’s remote regions! For I am God, and I have no peer.

At that time men will trust in their creator; they will depend on the Holy One of Israel.They will no longer trust in the altars their hands made, or depend on the Asherah poles and incense altars their fingers made.

The inhabitants of one will go to another and say,“ Let’s go up at once to ask the favor of the LORD, to seek the LORD who rules over all. Indeed, I’ll go with you.”’Many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the LORD who rules over all and to ask his favor.The LORD who rules over all says,‘ In those days ten people from all languages and nations will grasp hold of– indeed, grab– the robe of one Jew and say,“ Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”’”

Here is a message about Damascus:“ Look, Damascus is no longer a city, it is a heap of ruins!The cities of Aroer are abandoned. They will be used for herds, which will lie down there in peace.Fortified cities will disappear from Ephraim, and Damascus will lose its kingdom. The survivors in Syria will end up like the splendor of the Israelites,” says the LORD who commands armies.

The sovereign master decreed judgment on Jacob, and it fell on Israel.All the people were aware of it, the people of Ephraim and those living in Samaria. Yet with pride and an arrogant attitude, they said,“ The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamore fig trees have been cut down, but we will replace them with cedars.”Then the LORD provoked their adversaries to attack them, he stirred up their enemies–Syria from the east, and the Philistines from the west, they gobbled up Israelite territory. Despite all this, his anger does not subside, and his hand is ready to strike again.The people did not return to the one who struck them, they did not seek reconciliation with the LORD who commands armies.So the LORD cut off Israel’s head and tail, both the shoots and stalk in one day.The leaders and the highly respected people are the head, the prophets who teach lies are the tail.The leaders of this nation were misleading people, and the people being led were destroyed.So the sovereign master was not pleased with their young men, he took no pity on their orphans and widows; for the whole nation was godless and did wicked things, every mouth was speaking disgraceful words. Despite all this, his anger does not subside, and his hand is ready to strike again.For evil burned like a fire, it consumed thorns and briers; it burned up the thickets of the forest, and they went up in smoke.Because of the anger of the LORD who commands armies, the land was scorched, and the people became fuel for the fire. People had no compassion on one another.They devoured on the right, but were still hungry, they ate on the left, but were not satisfied. People even ate the flesh of their own arm!Manasseh fought against Ephraim, and Ephraim against Manasseh; together they fought against Judah. Despite all this, his anger does not subside, and his hand is ready to strike again.

This is a message about Babylon that God revealed to Isaiah son of Amoz:

This is what the LORD says:“ Just as a shepherd salvages from the lion’s mouth a couple of leg bones or a piece of an ear, so the Israelites who live in Samaria will be salvaged. They will be left with just a corner of a bed, and a part of a couch.”

“ I will send it out,” says the LORD who rules over all,“ and it will enter the house of the thief and of the person who swears falsely in my name. It will land in the middle of his house and destroy both timber and stones.”

Then, during the night, Abram divided his forces against them and defeated them. He chased them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.

The LORD reveals his royal power in the sight of all the nations; the entire earth sees our God deliver.

What follows is divine revelation. The word of the LORD came to Israel through Malachi:

Our God, will you not judge them? For we are powerless against this huge army that attacks us! We don’t know what we should do; we look to you for help.”
