Judgment on Damascus

23 Concerning ^aDamascus:

^b“Hamath and ^cArpad are confounded,
for they have heard bad news;
they melt in fear,
^dthey are troubled like the sea that cannot be quiet.
24 ^eDamascus has become feeble, ^fshe turned to flee,
and panic seized her;
anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her,
as ^gof a woman in labor.
25 How is ^hthe famous city not forsaken,
the city of my joy?
