Jeremiah 49:23-27

English Standard Version

^(B)“Hamath and ^(C)Arpad are confounded,
    for they have heard bad news;
they melt in fear,
    ^(D)they are troubled like the sea that cannot be quiet.
^24 (E)Damascus has become feeble, ^(F)she turned to flee,
    and panic seized her;
anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her,
    as ^(G)of a woman in labor.
²⁵ How is ^(H)the famous city not forsaken,
    the city of my joy?
^26 (I)Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares,
    and all her soldiers shall be destroyed in that day,
declares the Lord of hosts.
²⁷ And ^(J)I will kindle a fire in the wall of ^(K)Damascus,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of ^(L)Ben-hadad.”
