Jeremiah 49:23-27

New American Standard Bible

²³ Concerning ^(A)Damascus:
“^(B)Hamath and ^(C)Arpad are put to shame,
For they have heard bad news;
They ^(D)despair.
There is anxiety at the sea,
It ^(E)cannot be calmed.
²⁴ Damascus has become helpless;
She has turned away to flee,
And panic has gripped her;
^(F)Distress and labor pains have seized her
Like a woman in childbirth.
²⁵ How the ^(G)city of praise has not been deserted,
The town of My joy!
²⁶ Therefore, her ^(H)young men will fall in her streets,
And all the men of war will perish on that day,” declares the Lord of armies.
²⁷ “I will ^(I)set fire to the wall of Damascus,
And it will devour the fortified palace of ^(J)Ben-hadad.”
