Jeremiah 49:25

²³ Concerning Damascus: “Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard a bad report; they are agitated like the sea; their anxiety cannot be calmed.

²⁴ Damascus has become feeble; she has turned to flee. Panic has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her like a woman in labor.

How is the city of praise not forsaken, the town that brings Me joy?

²⁶ For her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,” declares the LORD of Hosts.

²⁷ “I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-hadad.”

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
