An oracle of Damascus: "Look! Damascus [will] cease being a city and will become a heap of ruins.
The cities of Aroer will be deserted;[note: These words in Hebrew (and "flocks" in the next line) all begin with the same letter, Ayin] they will be for the flocks, and they will lie down and {no one will frighten}[note: Literally "there is not one who frightens"] [them].
