Jeremiah 49:23-27

Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, For they have heard bad news; They despair. There is anxiety at the sea, It cannot be calmed.

“Damascus has become helpless; She has turned away to flee, And panic has gripped her; Distress and labor pains have seized her Like a woman in childbirth.

“How the city of praise has not been deserted, The town of My joy!

“Therefore, her young men will fall in her streets, And all the men of war will perish on that day,” declares the Lord of armies.

“I will set fire to the wall of Damascus, And it will devour the fortified palace of Ben-hadad.” Prophecy against Kedar and Hazor
