Jeremiah 49:22-24

International Children’s Bible

²²The Lord is like an eagle swooping down.
He is like an eagle spreading its wings over the city of Bozrah.
At that time Edom’s soldiers will become very frightened.
They will be crying from fear like a woman having a baby.

A Message About Damascus

²³This message is about the city of Damascus:

“The towns of Hamath and Arpad are put to shame.
    They are afraid because they have heard bad news.
They are discouraged.
    They are troubled like the tossing sea.
²⁴The city of Damascus has become weak.
    The people want to run away.
    The people are ready to panic.
The people feel pain and suffering
    like a woman having a baby.
