Jeremiah 49:26

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.

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

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.”

28 Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated, this is what the LORD says: “Rise up, advance against Kedar, and destroy the people of the east!
