No One Is Mentioning Yeshaya 17: We Still Need Sufficient Teshuva and Subduing of The Erev Rav

…….it may be a tad early for MBD

1The harsh prophecy concerning Damascus; Behold Damascus shall be removed from [being] a city, and it shall be a depth of ruins. 

2The cities of Aroer shall be abandoned; for the flocks shall they be, and they shall lie undisturbed. 

3And a fortress shall cease from Ephraim and a kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Aram; like the glory of the children of Israel shall they be, says the Lord of Hosts. 

4And it shall come to pass on that day, that the glory of Jacob shall become impoverished and the fatness of his flesh shall become emaciated. 

5And it shall be like gathering the harvest of the standing grain, and his arm reaps ears, and he shall be as one who gathers ears of grain in the valley of Rephaim. 

6And gleanings shall be left in it like the cutting of an olive tree, two or three berries at the end of the uppermost bough; four or five on its branches when it produces fruit, says the Lord, God of Israel. 

7On that day, man shall turn to his Maker, and his eyes shall look to the Holy One of Israel. 

8And he shall not turn to the altar of the work of his hands, and what his fingers made he shall not regard, neither the asherim nor the sun-images. 

9On that day, the cities of his strength shall be like the abandonment of the forest and the many branched trees which they abandoned from before the children of Israel, and it became a waste. 

10For you forgot the God of your salvation, and the Rock of your strength you did not remember; because I planted you with pleasant saplings, and with the branch of a stranger you sow it. 

11On the day of your planting you mingled, and in the morning you cause your seed to blossom; a heap of harvest on a day of sickness and mortal pain. 

12Woe to a multitude of many peoples, like the roaring of seas they roar; and a rushing of nations, like the rushing of mighty waters they rush. 

13Nations, like the rushing of many waters, they rush, and He shall rebuke them, and he shall flee from afar, and he shall be pursued like the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the thistle blossoms before the tempest. 

14At eventide, behold there is fright; before morning he is no more. This is the portion of our plunderers and the lot of our spoilers.

Neshama, you might be comforted to know that I have been adding to my post from the 8th, including Yeshaya 17 (but in English). This is the first time I've visited your blog since before this post.
