Hamath and Arpad are deeply troubled,
for they have heard distressing news.
In their concern, they are filled with anxiety,
tossed about like the sea
that cannot be calmed.
Damascus has been weakened;
gripped with panic, she prepares to flee.
Anguish and sorrow have overwhelmed her;
her pain is like that of a woman in labor.
How can this renowned city be forsaken
in which I take such delight?
Her young men will fall in her squares,
and all her warriors will perish on that day,
says THE LORD OF HOSTS.
Then I will set fire to the walls of Damascus
that will devour the palaces of Benhadad.
JEREMIAH: CHAPTER 49, VERSES 23 - 27
