Jeremiah 49:23-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

Hamath and Arpad are put to shame,^(B)
for they have heard a bad report and are agitated;
in the sea there is anxiety 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.
²⁵ How can the city of praise not be abandoned,^(C)
the town that brings Me joy?
