Jeremiah 49:24-26

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁴ Damascus has become weak;
she has turned to run;
panic has gripped her.
Distress and labor pains have seized her
like a woman in labor.
²⁵ How can the city of praise not be abandoned,^(A)
the town that brings Me joy?
²⁶ Therefore, her young men will fall in her public squares;
all the warriors will perish in that day.
This is the declaration of
the Lord of Hosts.^(B)
