Concerning Damascus

on Jeremiah 49:23-27

Damascus “has become feeble,” seized by anguish “like a woman in labor,” the figure these oracles use of Moab and Edom. “How is the city of praise not forsaken,” mourns a capital Assyria had already taken (2 Kings 16:9). The fire on “the fortresses of Ben-hadad” strikes the royal house.
