Jeremiah 49:23-25

Common English Bible

²³ Concerning Damascus:
Hamath and Arpad lose heart
    when they hear the bad news.
They are trembling with fear,
    like the raging sea,
        which can’t become quiet.
²⁴ Damascus staggers about;
    she tries to flee,
        but panic overwhelms her.
She’s gripped by anguish and pain,
    like a woman in labor.
²⁵ Forsaken^[a] is the renowned city,
    city of my delight.
