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,

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.

An oracle of the word of the LORD concerning the land of Hadrach, with its focus on Damascus: The eyes of all humanity, especially of the tribes of Israel, are 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:“ 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.

This message was given concerning Damascus. This is what the Lord says:“ The towns of Hamath and Arpad are struck with fear, for they have heard the news of their destruction. 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. Her soldiers will all be killed,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.“ And I will set fire to the walls of Damascus that will burn up the palaces of Ben hadad.”

My eyes are always on the Lord, for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.

Lord, you are my strength and fortress, my refuge in the day of trouble! Nations from around the world will come to you and say,“ Our ancestors left us a foolish heritage, for they worshiped worthless idols.

The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it.

“ Suppose one of the people or one of the prophets or priests asks you,‘ What prophecy has the Lord burdened you with now?’ You must reply,‘ You are the burden! The Lord says he will abandon you!’“ If any prophet, priest, or anyone else says,‘ I have a prophecy from the Lord,’ I will punish that person along with his entire family.You should keep asking each other,‘ What is the Lord’s answer?’ or‘ What is the Lord saying?’But stop using this phrase,‘ prophecy from the Lord.’ For people are using it to give authority to their own ideas, turning upside down the words of our God, the living God, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.“ This is what you should say to the prophets:‘ What is the Lord’s answer?’ or‘ What is the Lord saying?’But suppose they respond,‘ This is a prophecy from the Lord!’ Then you should say,‘ This is what the Lord says: Because you have used this phrase,“ prophecy from the Lord,” even though I warned you not to use it,

“ Gather together and come, you fugitives from surrounding nations. What fools they are who carry around their wooden idols and pray to gods that cannot save!Consult together, argue your case. Get together and decide what to say. Who made these things known so long ago? What idol ever told you they would happen? Was it not I, the Lord? For there is no other God but me, a righteous God and Savior. There is none but me.Let all the world look to me for salvation! For I am God; there is no other.

Then at last the people will look to their Creator and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.They will no longer look to their idols for help or worship what their own hands have made. They will never again bow down to their Asherah poles or worship at the pagan shrines they have built.

The people of one city will say to the people of another,‘ Come with us to Jerusalem to ask the Lord to bless us. Let’s worship the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. I’m determined to go.’Many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord of Heaven’s Armies and to ask for his blessing.“ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: In those days ten men from different nations and languages of the world will clutch at the sleeve of one Jew. And they will say,‘ Please let us walk with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”

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.

The Lord has spoken out against Jacob; his judgment has fallen upon Israel.And the people of Israel and Samaria, who spoke with such pride and arrogance, will soon know it.They said,“ We will replace the broken bricks of our ruins with finished stone, and replant the felled sycamore fig trees with cedars.”But the Lord will bring Rezin’s enemies against Israel and stir up all their foes.The Syrians from the east and the Philistines from the west will bare their fangs and devour Israel. But even then the Lord’s anger will not be satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike.For after all this punishment, the people will still not repent. They will not seek the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.Therefore, in a single day the Lord will destroy both the head and the tail, the noble palm branch and the lowly reed.The leaders of Israel are the head, and the lying prophets are the tail.For the leaders of the people have misled them. They have led them down the path of destruction.That is why the Lord takes no pleasure in the young men and shows no mercy even to the widows and orphans. For they are all wicked hypocrites, and they all speak foolishness. But even then the Lord’s anger will not be satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike.This wickedness is like a brushfire. It burns not only briers and thorns but also sets the forests ablaze. Its burning sends up clouds of smoke.The land will be blackened by the fury of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. The people will be fuel for the fire, and no one will spare even his own brother.They will attack their neighbor on the right but will still be hungry. They will devour their neighbor on the left but will not be satisfied. In the end they will even eat their own children.Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, Ephraim will feed on Manasseh, and both will devour Judah. But even then the Lord’s anger will not be satisfied. His fist is still poised to strike.

Isaiah son of Amoz received this message concerning the destruction of Babylon:

This is what the Lord says:“ A shepherd who tries to rescue a sheep from a lion’s mouth will recover only two legs or a piece of an ear. So it will be for the Israelites in Samaria lying on luxurious beds, and for the people of Damascus reclining on couches.

And this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: I am sending this curse into the house of every thief and into the house of everyone who swears falsely using my name. And my curse will remain in that house and completely destroy it— even its timbers and stones.”

There he divided his men and attacked during the night. Kedorlaomer’s army fled, but Abram chased them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.

The Lord has demonstrated his holy power before the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth will see the victory of our God.

This is the message that the Lord gave to Israel through the prophet Malachi.

O our God, won’t you stop them? We are powerless against this mighty army that is about to attack us. We do not know what to do, but we are looking to you for help.”
