And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.
Jeremiah 49:27 stands within Jeremiah's prophecies against the foreign nations surrounding Israel that pronounce their doom. In that series it speaks against Damascus, the Syrian kingdom, as one of those doomed powers. The doom takes the form of a fire kindled in the wall of Damascus that devours the palaces of Ben-hadad. Damascus was thereby numbered among the powers destined to fall before Nebuchadnezzar.
