Isaiah 17:3
The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD of hosts.
KJV
Et cessabit adjutorium ab Ephraim, et regnum a Damasco ; et reliquiæ Syriæ sicut gloria filiorum Israël erunt, dicit Dominus exercituum.
Vulgate
καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται ὀχυρὰ τοῦ καταφυγεῖν Ἐφράιμ· καὶ οὐκέτι βασιλεία ἐν Δαμασκῷ καὶ τὸ λοιπὸν τῶν Σύρων· οὐ γὰρ σὺ βελτίων εἶ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ τῆς δόξης αὐτῶν.
LXX
And the fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria; they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith Jehovah of hosts.
