For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken in pieces, so that it shall not be a people;

For before the child knows how to say, 'My father,' and, 'My mother,' the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria will be carried away by the king of Assyria."

Isn't Calno like Carchemish? Isn't Hamath like Arpad? Isn't Samaria like Damascus?"

The burden of Damascus: "Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.

The fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria. They will be as the glory of the children of Israel," says Yahweh of Armies.
