23 Concerning Damascus. “Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard bad news; they melt into the sea with anxiety not able to be calmed. 24 Damascus has grown feeble; she turns to flee, and fear has seized her; distress and sorrows have taken hold of her like a woman in labor. 25 How is it not abandoned—the city of praise, the city of My joy? 26 Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, and all the men of war will be cut off on that day!” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts. 27 “And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it will consume the citadels of Ben-Hadad.” Jeremiah 49:23-27, Berean Literal Bible.
