“This is the burden against Damascus: “Behold, Damascus is no longer a city; it has become a heap of ruins.”

Isaiah 17:1

Save as image

Study note

Isaiah 17 is an oracle against Damascus, the capital of Aram, which had allied with northern Israel against Judah. The chapter also pronounces judgment on Ephraim, because Israel had put its trust in an alliance rather than in the Lord.
