Jeremiah 49:23-27 - A Message Concerning Damascus
23 This is what Jehovah said about Damascus: The people in the cities of Hamath and Arpad are worried and troubled because they have heard bad news. Anxiety rolls over them like a sea, and they cannot rest. 24 The people of Damascus are weak and have fled in terror. They are in pain and misery like a woman in labor. 25 I once was pleased with your famous city. But now I warn you: Escape while you still can! 26 Soon, even your best soldiers will lie dead in your streets. I the all-powerful Jehovah have spoken. 27 I will set fire to your city walls and burn down the fortresses King Benhadad built.
