Jeremiah 49:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ Concerning and against Damascus [in Syria]: Hamath and Arpad are confounded and put to shame, for they have heard bad news; they are fainthearted and wasting away; there is trouble and anxiety [like] on a [storm-tossed] sea which cannot rest.

²⁴ Damascus has become feeble; she has turned to flee, and terror and panic have seized her; anguish and sorrow have taken hold of her, like a woman in childbirth.

²⁵ How [remarkable that] the renowned city is not deserted, the city of my joy! [exclaims one from Damascus].
