Jeremiah 49:23-27 -
The LORD's judgement on Damascus.
Jr.49.23-27
49
23
Concerning Damascus.
"Hamath and Arpad are confounded,
for they have heard evil tidings;
they melt in fear,
they are troubled like the sea
which cannot be quiet.
49
24
Damascus has become feeble, she turned to flee,
and panic seized her;
anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her,
as of a woman in travail.
49
25
How the famous city is forsaken,
the joyful city!
49
26
Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares,
and all her soldiers shall be destroyed in that day,
says Yahweh of hosts.
49
27
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad."
