New Testament

Jeremiah 49:22-27 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

22. Just as an eagle flies high to see the animal it will attack, so the Lord will spread his wings over Bozrah. And Edom’s soldiers will be filled with fear like a woman giving birth.

23. This message is about the city of Damascus: “The towns of Hamath and Arpad are afraid. They are afraid because they heard the bad news. They are discouraged. They are worried and afraid.

24. The city of Damascus has become weak. The people want to run away. They are ready to panic. They are overcome with fear and pain, like a woman giving birth.

25. “Damascus is a happy city. The people have not left that ‘fun city’ yet.

26. So the young men will die in the public squares of that city. All her soldiers will be killed at that time.” This is what the Lord All-Powerful said.

27. “I will set the walls of Damascus on fire. The fire will completely burn up the strong forts of Ben-Hadad.”
