Isa. 17:1      Isa. 17:3

Isaiah 17:2

The cities of Aroer [meaning "ruins"] are abandoned,
they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down and no one shall disturb them.
[The city of Aroer is located in the land of Moab by the Arnon River valley in present-day Jordan east of the Dead Sea, see Num. 32:34. Since it says cities in the plural, and the phrase literally is (Hebr. azavot air aroer) "the abandoned cities are ruins," the whole expression may be poetic, meaning that all of Damascus and its surroundings are ruins and abandoned. The Greek translation Septuagint translates it as "abandoned forever."]
