Jeremiah 49:23-27
Prophecy against Damascus
23 Concerning aDamascus:
“ bHamath and cArpad are put to shame,
For they have heard bad news;
They ddespair.
There is anxiety at the sea,
It ecannot be calmed.
24 “Damascus has become helpless;
She has turned away to flee,
And panic has gripped her;
fDistress and labor pains have seized her
Like a woman in childbirth.
25 “How the gcity of praise has not been deserted,
The town of My joy!
26 “Therefore, her hyoung men will fall in her streets,
And all the men of war will perish on that day,” declares the Lord of armies.
27 “I will iset fire to the wall of Damascus,
And it will devour the fortified palace of jBen-hadad.”
