Jeremiah 49:23-27 - A Message Concerning Damascus

²³ "Upon Damascus, Hamath and Arpad shall come confusion, for they shall hear evil tidings: they shall be tossed to and fro like the sea that cannot stand still. ²⁴ Damascus shall be sore afraid, and shall flee; trembling shall come upon her. Sorrow and pain shall overtake her as a woman travailing of child. ²⁵ But how should so worshipful and glorious a city be forsaken? ²⁶ Hear, therefore: her young men shall fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be taken away in that time, sayeth the LORD of Hosts. ²⁷ I will kindle a fire in the walls of Damascus, which shall consume the palace of Benhadad."
