23 About Damascus: Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard a bad report and are agitated, like the anxious sea that cannot be calmed. 24 Damascus has become weak; she has turned to run; panic has gripped her. Distress and labor pains have seized her like a woman in labor. 25 How can the city of praise not be abandoned, the town that brings me joy? 26 Therefore, her young men will fall in her public squares; all the warriors will perish in that day. This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies. 27 I will set fire to the wall of Damascus; it will consume Ben-hadad’s citadels. Jeremiah 49:23-27, Christian Standard Bible.
