Jeremiah 49:23-29

23About Damascus: Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard a bad report and are agitated, like the anxious sea that cannot be calmed.

24Damascus has become weak; she has turned to run; panic has gripped her. Distress and labor pains have seized her like a woman in labor.

25How can the city of praise not be abandoned, the town that brings me joy?

26Therefore, her young men will fall in her public squares; all the warriors will perish in that day. This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.

27I will set fire to the wall of Damascus; it will consume Ben-hadad’s citadels.

28About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated, this is what the Lord says: Rise up, attack Kedar, and destroy the people of the east!

29They will take their tents and their flocks along with their tent curtains and all their equipment. They will take their camels for themselves. They will call out to them, “Terror is on every side!”
