Judgment on Damascus
23 (A)Against Damascus.
(B)“Hamath and Arpad are shamed,
For they have heard bad news.
They are fainthearted;
(C)There is [a]trouble on the sea;
It cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus has grown feeble;
She turns to flee,
And fear has seized her.
(D)Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in [b]labor.
25 Why is (E)the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy?
26 (F)Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets,
And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts.
27 “I(G) will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus,
And it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.”
Judgment on Kedar and Hazor
28 (H)Against Kedar and against the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon shall strike.
Thus says the Lord:
“Arise, go up to Kedar,
And devastate (I)the men of the East!
29 Their (J)tents and their flocks they shall take away.
They shall take for themselves their curtains,
All their vessels and their camels;
And they shall cry out to them,
(K)‘Fear is on every side!’
