Jeremiah 49:23-25

Names of God Bible

A Prophecy against Damascus

²³This is a message about Damascus.

“Hamath and Arpad are worried because they heard the bad news.
    They melt in fear.
    They are troubled like a sea that can’t be calmed.
²⁴The people of Damascus are weak.
    They turn to flee, but panic grips them.
    Anguish and pain grip them like a woman in labor.
²⁵Why isn’t that famous, happy city abandoned?
