Jeremiah 49:24-26
New International Version
24 Damascus has become feeble,
she has turned to flee
and panic has gripped her;
anguish and pain have seized her,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(A)
25 Why has the city of renown not been abandoned,
the town in which I delight?
26 Surely, her young men(B) will fall in the streets;
all her soldiers will be silenced(C) in that day,”
declares the Lord Almighty.
