Jeremiah 49:23-29

23Concerning Damascus [in Syria]. “Hamath and Arpad are perplexed and shamed, For they have heard bad news; They are disheartened; Troubled and anxious like a [storm-tossed] sea Which cannot be calmed.

24Damascus has become helpless; She has turned away to flee, Terror (panic) has seized her; Anguish and distress have gripped her Like a woman in childbirth.

25Why has the renowned city not been deserted, The city of My joy!

26Therefore, her young men will fall in her streets, And all her men of war will be destroyed in that day,” says the Lord of hosts.

27“I will set fire to the wall of Damascus, And it will consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.”

28Concerning Kedar and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated. Thus says the Lord, “Arise, go up against Kedar And destroy the men of the east.

29They (the Babylonians) will take away their tents and their flocks; They will carry off for themselves Their tent curtains, all their goods and their camels, And they will call out to one another, ‘Terror on every side!’
