Jeremiah 49:23-25

New King James Version

^(B)“Hamath and Arpad are shamed,
For they have heard bad news.
They are fainthearted;
^(C)There is ^[a]trouble on the sea;
It cannot be quiet.
²⁴ Damascus has grown feeble;
She turns to flee,
And fear has seized her.
^(D)Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in ^[b]labor.
²⁵ Why is ^(E)the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy?
