Jeremiah 49:25LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 25 of 39

"How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!"
Jeremiah 49:25

In context

23Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

24Damascus is waxed feeble, turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on : anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.

25How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!

26Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.

27And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
