23 Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad have been ashamed, || For they have heard an evil report, || They have been melted, sorrow [is] in the sea, || It is not able to be quiet. 24 Damascus has been feeble, || She turned to flee, and fear strengthened her, || Distress and pangs have seized her, as a travailing woman. 25 How it is not left—the city of praise, || The city of My joy! 26 Therefore her young men fall in her broad places, || And all the men of war are cut off in that day, || A declaration of YHWH of Hosts. 27 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Damascus, || And it consumed palaces of Ben-Hadad!” Jeremiah 49:23-27, Literal Standard Version.
