Jeremiah 49:23-27
Christian Standard Bible
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)

Judgment on Damascus
23 Concerning Damascus.
Hamath and Arpad are confounded,
for they have heard bad news;
they melt in fear; they are troubled like the sea[a]
that cannot be quiet.(A)
24 Damascus has become feeble; she turned to flee,
and panic seized her;
anguish and pangs seize her,
as of a woman in labor.
25 How is the famous city not forsaken,[b]
the town of my joy?[c](B)
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares,
and all her soldiers shall be destroyed on that day,
says the Lord of hosts.(C)
27 And I will kindle a fire at the wall of Damascus,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.(D)
