22 Behold, [a]He will mount up and (A)swoop like an eagle, and spread out His wings [b]against Bozrah; and the (B)hearts of the warriors of Edom on that day will be like the heart of a woman in labor.

Prophecy against Damascus

23 Concerning (C)Damascus:
(D)Hamath and (E)Arpad are put to shame,
For they have heard bad news;
They (F)despair.
There is anxiety at the sea,
It (G)cannot be calmed.
24 Damascus has become helpless;
She has turned away to flee,
And panic has gripped her;
(H)Distress and labor pains have seized her
Like a woman in childbirth.
