Prophecies against Damascus

23 About Damascus:(A)

Hamath and Arpad are put to shame,(B)
for they have heard a bad report and are agitated,
like[a] the anxious sea that cannot be calmed.
24 Damascus has become weak;
she has turned to run;
panic has gripped her.
Distress and labor pains have seized her
like a woman in labor.(C)
25 How can the city of praise not be abandoned,(D)
the town that brings me joy?
26 Therefore, her young men will fall in her public squares;
all the warriors will perish in that day.
This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.(E)
27 I will set fire to the wall of Damascus;
it will consume Ben-hadad’s citadels.(F)
