Jeremias 49:24 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 49:24

Damascus is waxed feeble
Or, "is become remiss" F7; her hands hang down, not being able through fear and fright to lift them up against the enemy; that is, the inhabitants of Damascus, as the Targum: [and] turneth herself to flee;
instead of going out to meet the enemy, the inhabitants of this city meditated a flight, and turned their backs upon him in order to flee from him, and escape falling into his hands: and fear hath seized on [her]:
or, "she seized on fear" F8; instead of seizing on arms, and laying hold on them to defend herself with, she seized on that; or however that seized on her, and made her quite unfit to stand up in her own defence: anguish and sorrows have taken her as a woman in travail;
(See Gill on Jeremiah 49:22); A phrase often used to express the sudden and inevitable destruction of a people, and their distress and inability to help themselves.

Jeremias 49:24 In-Context

22 Eis que como águia subirá, e voará, e estenderá as suas asas contra Bozra; e o coração do valente de Edom naquele dia se tornará como o coração da mulher que está em dores de parto.
23 A respeito de Damasco. Envergonhadas estão Hamate e Arpade, e se derretem de medo porquanto ouviram más notícias; estão agitadas como o mar, que não pode aquietar-se.
24 Enfraquecida está Damasco, virou as costas para fugir, e o tremor apoderou-se dela; angústia e dores apossaram-se dela como da mulher que está de parto.
25 Como está abandonada a cidade famosa, a cidade da minha alegria!
26 Portanto os seus jovens lhe cairão nas ruas, e todos os homens de guerra serão consumidos naquele dia, diz o Senhor dos exércitos.
