Geremia 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.

Geremia 49:24 In-Context

22 Ecco, colui salirà, e volerà come un’aquila, e spiegherà le sue ale contro a Bosra; e il cuor degli uomini prodi di Edom in quel giorno sarà come il cuor d’una donna che è nella distretta del parto.
23 QUANT’è a Damasco, Hamat ed Arpad sono confuse; si struggono, perciocchè hanno udita una mala novella; vi è spavento nella marina; ella non può racquetarsi.
24 Damasco è fiacca, si è messa in volta per fuggire, e tremito l’ha colta; distretta e dolori l’hanno occupata, come la donna che partorisce.
25 Come non è stata risparmiata la città famosa, la città della mia allegrezza?
26 I suoi giovani adunque caderanno nelle sue piazze, e tutta la gente di guerra in quel giorno sarĂ  distrutta, dice il Signor degli eserciti.
