Jeremiah 49:24-26

International Children’s Bible

²⁴ The city of Damascus has become weak.
    The people want to run away.
    The people are ready to panic.
The people feel pain and suffering
    like a woman having a baby.
²⁵ Damascus was a city of my joy.
    Why have the people not left that famous city yet?
²⁶ Surely the young men will die in the public squares of that city.
    All of her soldiers will be killed at that time,” says the Lord of heaven’s armies.
