A Message About Damascus

23 Concerning Damascus:¹ "Hamath² and Arpad³ are dismayed, for they have heard bad news. They are disheartened, troubled like^a the restless sea.⁴ 24 Damascus has become feeble, she has turned to flee and panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her, pain like that of a woman in labor.⁵ 25 Why has the city of renown not been abandoned, the town in which I delight? 26 Surely, her young men⁶ will fall in the streets; all her soldiers will be silenced⁷ in that day," declares the LORD Almighty. 27 "I will set fire⁸ to the walls of Damascus;⁹ it will consume¹⁰ the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.¹¹"
