Jeremiah, 49
24. Damascus is weakened, she turns to flee, panic has seized her. Distress and pangs take hold of her, like those of a woman in travail.

Chapter 49 of the book of Jeremiah brings a series of judgment prophecies against various neighboring nations of Israel, including Edom, Ammon, Moab and Babylon. The verses related to these themes are:
Isaiah 21:9: "Behold, a man comes in a car with a pair of horses. He calls them and says, 'Fell, Babylon fell; all the images of their gods were broken on the floor.'" This verse talks about Fall of Babylon, one of the nations that receives a judgment prophecy in Jeremiah 49.
Ezekiel 25:4: "Therefore, behold, I will give Moab to the Orientals as an inheritance, along with the children of Ammon." This verse talks about the punishment that God will bring about Moab and Ammon, two of the peoples who are also targets of judgment prophecies in Jeremiah 49.
Obadiah 1:8: "Not that day, says the Lord, I will destroy the sages of Edom and the understanding of the mountain of Esau." This verse talks about the destruction that will come about Edom, another nation mentioned in Jeremiah 49.
Isaiah 16:6: "We have heard of Moab's arrogance, unbearable arrogance, his arrogance, pride and revolt; but his fanfaronice is nothing." This verse talks about the arrogance of Moab, one of the nations that will receive the punishment of God in Jeremiah 49.
Ezekiel 35:5: "Because you showed an eternal enmity and handed over the Israelites to the wire of the sword in the time of the final calamity, at the time of your final iniquity." This verse talks about the hostility that Edom showed to Israel, which will lead the nation to receive God's wrath in Jeremiah 49.
