Jeremiah 49:23-27

Word Against Damascus
23 Concerning (A)Damascus.
“(B)Hamath and (C)Arpad are put to shame,
For they have heard a bad report;
They are (D)melting away.
There is anxiety by the sea,
It (E)cannot be quieted.
24 Damascus has become limp in their hands;
She has turned away to flee,
And panic has taken hold of her;
(F)Distress and pangs have seized her
Like a woman in childbirth.
25 How [a]the (G)city of praise has not been forsaken,
The town of My joy!
26 Therefore, her (H)young men will fall in her open squares,
And all the men of war will be [b]silenced in that day,” declares Yahweh of hosts.
27 “I will (I)set fire to the wall of Damascus,
And it will devour the [c]fortified towers of (J)Ben-hadad.”

Judgment on Damascus
23 (A)Against Damascus.
(B)“Hamath and Arpad are shamed,
For they have heard bad news.
They are fainthearted;
(C)There is [a]trouble on the sea;
It cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus has grown feeble;
She turns to flee,
And fear has seized her.
(D)Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in [b]labor.
25 Why is (E)the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy?
26 (F)Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets,
And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts.
27 “I(G) will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus,
And it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.”
