Jeremiah 49:24-26

Modern English Version

²⁴ Damascus has become helpless;
    she has turned away to flee,
    and panic has seized her.
Anguish and sorrows have seized her
    as a woman in labor.
²⁵ How the city of praise has not been deserted,
    the city of My joy!
²⁶ Therefore her young men will fall in her streets,
    and all the men of war will be cut off in that day,
    says the Lord of Hosts.
