25 Why isn't that famous, happy city abandoned?

26 That is why its young men will die in the streets, and its soldiers will be silenced that day," declares the LORD of Armies.

27 "I will set fire to the walls of Damascus and burn down Benhadad's palaces."

28 This is about the tribe of Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated. This is what the LORD says: Get ready, attack Kedar, and loot the people from the east.
