Jeremiah 49:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ Why hasn’t the famous city been deserted?
    It is the town I take delight in.
²⁶ You can be sure its young men will fall dead in the streets.
    All its soldiers will be put to death at that time,”
    announces the Lord who rules over all.
²⁷ “I will set the walls of Damascus on fire.
    It will burn down the strong towers of King Ben-Hadad.”
