Jeremiah 49:25

A Message Concerning Damascus

²⁴ “Damascus has become helpless;
She has turned away to flee,
And panic has gripped her;
Distress and pangs have taken hold of her
Like a woman in childbirth.
²⁵ “How the city of praise has not been deserted,
The town of My joy!

And all the men of war will be silenced in that day,” declares the Lord of hosts.
