Jeremiah 49:22-24

Easy-to-Read Version

²² Just as an eagle flies high to see the animal it will attack,
    so the Lord will spread his wings over Bozrah.
And Edom’s soldiers will be filled with fear
    like a woman giving birth.

“The towns of Hamath and Arpad are afraid.
    They are afraid because they heard the bad news.
They are discouraged.
    They are worried and afraid.
²⁴ The city of Damascus has become weak.
    The people want to run away.
    They are ready to panic.
They are overcome with fear and pain,
    like a woman giving birth.
