Yesaya 10:4

or to fall among those who have been killed. ¹ 

Despite all this, his anger does not subside,

and his hand is ready to strike again. ² 

Yesaya 17:3

17:3 Fortified cities will disappear from Ephraim,

and Damascus will lose its kingdom. ³ 

The survivors in Syria

will end up like the splendor of the Israelites,”

says the Lord who commands armies.

Yesaya 20:6

20:6 At that time ⁴  those who live on this coast ⁵  will say, ‘Look what has happened to our source of hope to whom we fled for help, expecting to be rescued from the king of Assyria! How can we escape now?’”

Yesaya 29:5

29:5 But the horde of invaders will be like fine dust,

the horde of tyrants ⁶  like chaff that is blown away.

It will happen suddenly, in a flash.
