Jeremiah 49:23-25
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
Judgement on Damascus
23 Concerning Damascus.
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.
24 Damascus has become feeble, she turned to flee,
and panic seized her;
anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her,
as of a woman in labour.
25 How the famous city is forsaken,[b]
the joyful town![c]
