Jeremiah 49:23-27

New Century Version NCV

23 This message is to the city of Damascus: "The towns of Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, because they have heard bad news. They are discouraged. They are troubled like the tossing sea.

24 The city of Damascus has become weak. The people want to run away; they are ready to panic. The people feel pain and suffering, like a woman giving birth to a baby.

25 Damascus was a city of my joy. Why have the people not left that famous city yet?

26 Surely the young men will die in the city squares, and all her soldiers will be killed at that time," says the Lord All-Powerful.

27 "I will set fire to the walls of Damascus, and it will completely burn the strong cities of King Ben-Hadad."

New International Version NIV

23 Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are dismayed, for they have heard bad news. They are disheartened, troubled like the restless sea.

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.

25 Why has the city of renown not been abandoned, the town in which I delight?

26 Surely, her young men will fall in the streets; all her soldiers will be silenced in that day,” declares the LORD Almighty.

27 “I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.”
