Jeremiah 49:23

Of Damascus. Turned pale have Hamath and Arpad, For, a calamitous report, have they heard—they tremble,—In the sea, is anxiety, it cannot, rest.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

24Enfeebled is Damascus She hath turned to flee But terror, hath seized her,—Anguish and pangs, have seized her as a woman in childbirth.
