Jeremiah 49:22-24
New Century Version

22 The Lord is like an eagle swooping down
    and spreading its wings over the city of Bozrah.
At that time Edom’s soldiers will become very frightened,
    like a woman having a baby.

A Message to Damascus

23 This message is to the city of Damascus:

“The towns of Hamath and Arpad are put to shame,
    because they have heard bad news.
They are discouraged.
    They are troubled like the tossing sea.
24 The city of Damascus has become weak.
    The people want to run away;
    they are ready to panic.
The people feel pain and suffering,
    like a woman giving birth to a baby.
