Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.

The verse 24 is found in chapter 49 of Jeremiah. Damascus, Hamath, and Arpad are paralyzed by bad news. Fire consumes the walls of Damascus, and the glory of Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor disappears. The section continues the theme that ancient and powerful cities cannot guarantee their own permanence before Yahweh’s judgment.

Damaskus ist verzagt und gibt die Flucht; sie zappelt und ist in Ängsten und Schmerzen wie eine Frau in Kindsnöten.
Desmayose Damasco, volviose para huir, y tomole temblor: angustia y dolores le tomaron, como de mujer que está de parto.
Damasco ha perdido las fuerzas; se vuelve para huir y el temblor se apodera de ella. La angustia y los dolores la han atrapado como a una mujer de parto.
Damas est défaillante, elle se tourne pour fuir, Et l'effroi s'empare d'elle; L'angoisse et les douleurs la saisissent, Comme une femme en travail. -
Damasco è fiacca, si è messa in volta per fuggire, e tremito l’ha colta; distretta e dolori l’hanno occupata, come la donna che partorisce.
Enfraquecida está Damasco; virou as costas para fugir, e o tremor a tomou; angústia e dores a tomaram como da que está de parto.
大馬士革 發軟,轉身逃跑; 戰兢將它捉住, 痛苦憂愁將它抓住, 如臨產的婦人一樣。
