Jeremiah 49:24-26

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁴ The people of Damascus are weak.
They turn to flee, but panic grips them.
Anguish and pain grip them like a woman in labor.
²⁵ Why isn’t that famous, happy city abandoned?
²⁶ That is why its young men will die in the streets,
and its soldiers will be silenced that day,”
declares the Lord of Armies.
