The Burden of Damascus. Behold,
is taken away from being a city, and it will be a ruinous heap.מַשָּׂא דַּמָּשֶׂק הִנֵּה דַמֶּשֶׂק מוּסָר מֵעִיר וְהָיְתָה מְעִי מַפָּלָה
I shall be removed from being a city: [The Hebrew denotes] an expression of removing.
removed from a city: from being a city.
a depth: Heb. מְעִי, an expression of lowness and depth, like the depth of the seas (כִּמְעוֹת).
