Jeremiah:49:23-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Of Damascus .
Hamath is confounded ,
and Arpad ;
for they have heard evil news ,
they melt [
with fear ];
on the sea [
there is ]
anxiety ,
it can '
t be quiet .
*
Damascus is waxed feeble ,
she turns herself to flee ,
and trembling has seized on her :
anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her ,
as of a woman in travail .
*
How is the city of praise not forsaken ,
the city of my joy ?
*
Therefore her young men will fall in her streets ,
and all the men of war will be brought to silence in that day ,
says Yahweh of hosts .
*
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus ,
and it will devour the palaces of Ben-hadad .
