Isaiah 17:1 says this:
1THE MOURNFUL, inspired prediction (a burden to be lifted up) concerning Damascus [capital of Syria, and Israel's bulwark against Assyria]. Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins.
Here it is in some other versions of the Bible:
"Look, the city of Damascus will disappear!
It will become a heap of ruins.
New Living Translation
17 The burden against Damascus.
"Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city,
And it will be a ruinous heap.
NKJV
17 A Message concerning Damascus:
"Watch this: Damascus undone as a city,
a pile of dust and rubble!
THE MESSAGE
Have you ever paid attention to this verse of Scripture before? Did you know that Damascus is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world? Do you think that it will make much of an impression when Damascus disappears? I do! There is so much that is going on in the world today that we don't have time to blink without missing something! God is working His plan and it will be extremely well with us IF we choose to get with HIS program! Amen! Find out God's plan for YOU, then set your entire being to seeing that it is carried out! Soon and VERY soon, we are going to be seeing the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords appearing for us in the sky and calling us HOME! Come quickly, Lord Jesus! AMEN!

Shalom in Him!
