Jeremiah 49:23-25

Christian Standard Bible

Hamath and Arpad are put to shame,^(B)
for they have heard a bad report and are agitated,
like^[a] the anxious sea that cannot be calmed.
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.^(C)
25 How can the city of praise not be abandoned,^(D)
the town that brings me joy?
