The Prophecy concerning Damascus

23 Of Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it can’t be quiet.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:23

Commentary on Jeremiah 49:23-27

(Read Jeremiah 49:23-27)

How easily God can dispirit those nations that have been most celebrated for valour! Damascus waxes feeble. It was a city of joy, having all the delights of the sons of men. But those deceive themselves who place their happiness in carnal joys.
