Jeremiah 49:25-27
Easy-to-Read Version
25 “Damascus is a happy city.
The people have not left that ‘fun city’ yet.
26 So the young men will die in the public squares of that city.
All her soldiers will be killed at that time.”
This is what the Lord All-Powerful said.
27 “I will set the walls of Damascus on fire.
The fire will completely burn up the strong forts of Ben-Hadad.[a]”
