“I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will burn up the palaces of Ben Hadad.”
The Lord was furious with Israel and handed them over to King Hazael of Syria and to Hazael’s son Ben Hadad for many years.
The Lord provided a deliverer for Israel and they were freed from Syria’s power. The Israelites once more lived in security.
He will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. He will burn their gods or carry them off as captives. He will pick Egypt clean like a shepherd picks the lice from his clothing. He will leave there unharmed.
You will stumble and fall, you proud city; no one will help you get up. I will set fire to your towns; it will burn up everything that surrounds you.”
