23 Upon Damascus, Hemath, and Arphad, shall come confusion: for they shal heare euyll tidinges, they shalbe tossed to and fro like the sea that can not stand styll. 24 Damascus shalbe sore afraide, and shal flee: trembling commeth vpon her, sorowe and payne shall ouertake her, as a woman trauayling of chylde. 25 But howe happeneth it that the famous citie, the citie of my ioy, is not spared? 26 Her young men shal fal in the streetes, and all her men of warre shalbe taken away in that tyme, saith the Lorde of hoastes. 27 I wyll kindle a fire in the walles of Damascus, whiche shall consume the palace of Benhadad.
