Jeremiah 49:23-25

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Hamath and Arpad are confounded,
    for they have heard bad news;
they melt in fear; they are troubled like the sea^[a]
    that cannot be quiet.^(A)
24 Damascus has become feeble; she turned to flee,
    and panic seized her;
anguish and pangs seize her,
    as of a woman in labor.
²⁵ How is the famous city not forsaken,^[b]
    the town of my joy?^[c](B)
