Jeremiah 49:23-27

23Concerning 1Damascus: “2Hamath and 3Arpad are put to shame, For they have heard bad news; They 4despair. There is anxiety at the sea, It 5cannot be calmed.24Damascus has become helpless; She has turned away to flee, And panic has gripped her; 6Distress and labor pains have seized her Like a woman in childbirth.25How the 7city of praise has not been deserted, The town of My joy!26Therefore, her 8young 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 9set fire to the wall of Damascus, And it will devour the fortified palace of 10Ben-hadad.”
