Jeremiah 49:25-27
Contemporary English Version
25 Once I was pleased
with your famous city.
But now I warn you, “Escape
while you still can!”[a]
26 Soon, even your best soldiers
will lie dead in your streets.
I, the Lord All-Powerful,
have spoken.
27 I will set fire to your city walls
and burn down the fortresses
King Benhadad built.
