Jeremiah 49:23-27 - A Message Concerning Damascus
23 Concerning Damascus: "Hamath and Arpad are ashamed, for they have heard bad news; they melt. [There is] concern in the sea. It is not able to keep quiet. 24 Damascus has grown slack. She has turned away to flee and panic. Anxiety has seized [her], and labor pains have grasped her, like a woman in labor. 25 How [the] city of praise has not been abandoned! The city of my joy! 26 {Therefore} her young men will fall in her public squares, and all {the soldiers} will perish in that day," {declares} Yahweh of hosts. 27 "And I will kindle a fire at the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the citadel fortresses of Ben-hadad."
