Jeremiah 49:22-24

New Century Version

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

A Message to Damascus

²³This message is to the city of Damascus:

“The towns of Hamath and Arpad are put to shame,
    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;
    they are ready to panic.
The people feel pain and suffering,
    like a woman giving birth to a baby.
