Old TestamentJeremiahJudgment on Damascus · 49:23–2749:23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.49:24 Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.49:25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!49:26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.49:27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.
