²² Look! An eagle will soar and swoop^(A) down,
    spreading its wings over Bozrah.^(B)
In that day the hearts of Edom’s warriors^(C)
    will be like the heart of a woman in labor.^(D)

“Hamath^(F) and Arpad^(G) are dismayed,
    for they have heard bad news.
They are disheartened,
    troubled like^[a] the restless sea.^(H)
24 Damascus has become feeble,
    she has turned to flee
    and panic has gripped her;
anguish and pain have seized her,
    pain like that of a woman in labor.^(I)
