Jeremiah 49:23-25

Lexham English Bible

“Hamath and Arpad are ashamed,
    for they have heard bad news;
    they melt.
There is concern in the sea.
    It is not able to keep quiet.
²⁴ Damascus has grown slack.
    She has turned away to flee and panic.
Anxiety has seized her,
    and labor pains have grasped her,
    like a woman in labor.
²⁵ How the city of praise has not been abandoned!
    The city of my joy!
