Mengenai Damsyik. "Hamat dan Arpad telah menjadi malu, sebab mereka mendengar kabar buruk; hati mereka gemetar karena kecemasan, tidak dapat menjadi tenang.
Sebermula, maka inilah akan hal Damsyik: Bahwa lenyaplah bicara Hamat dan Arpad; mereka itu termangu-mangu dari sebab kabar celaka yang telah didengarnya; pada tepi tasik itu adalah percintaan, tiada boleh orang berhenti di sana.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Concerning Damascus,.... Or, "unto Damascus" d; or, "against Damascus" e; that is, "thus saith the Lord"; which is to be repeated from the foregoing instances, Jeremiah 49:1. This is to be understood, not only of the city of Damascus, but of the whole kingdom of Syria, of which Damascus was the metropolis; see Isaiah 7:8;
Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; two cities in Syria; the first is generally thought to be Antioch of Syria, sometimes called Epiphania; and the other the same with Arvad, inhabited by the Arvadim, or Aradians; see 2 Kings 18:34; these, that is, the inhabitants of them, as the Targum, were covered with shame, thrown into the utmost confusion and consternation:
for they have heard evil tidings; of the Chaldean army invading the land of Syria, and of their coming against them; and perhaps of their taking of Damascus their capital city; all which must be bad news unto them, and give them great uneasiness:
they are fainthearted; or "melted" f; their hearts melted like wax, and flowed like water; they had no heart nor spirit left in them, through fear of the enemy;
[there is] sorrow in the sea, it cannot be quiet: the Targum is,
"fear in the sea, carefulness hath taken hold on them, behold, as those that go down to the sea to rest, and cannot rest;''
or, as other copies, cannot flee. So Jarchi, and Kimchi interpret it, as if the note of similitude was wanting, and the sense this, that the inhabitants of the above places were either like the troubled sea itself, which cannot rest; or like persons in a storm at sea, who are in the utmost uneasiness and distress: or else it designs such that belonged to the kingdom of Syria, that dwelt in the isles of the sea; who were in great fright when they heard of the invasion of their country by the Chaldeans, particularly the Antaradians.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Though the superscription is confined to Damascus, the prophecy relates to the whole of Aram, called by us Syria, which was divided into two parts, the northern, of which Hamath was the capital, and the southeastern, belonging to Damascus.
Hamath is confounded - Or, is ashamed. For Hamath see Isaiah 10:9 note. Arpad lay about fourteen miles north of Aleppo, at a place now called Tel Erfad.
Fainthearted - The sinews are relaxed unknit, through terror.
There is sorrow on the sea - In the sea. As the sea is used (marginal reference) of the agitation of the thoughts of evil men, its sense here also probably is, there is sorrow, or rather anxiety, in the agitated hearts of the Syrians.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 49:23. CONCERNING DAMASCUS. — This is the head or title of another prophecy. Damascus was one of the principal cities of Syria. It was taken by David, 2 Samuel 8:6, was retaken in the reign of Solomon, 1 Kings 11:24, c., and regained its independence. Its kings were often at war with the ten tribes, and once it joined with them for the destruction of Judah. To defend himself against these powerful enemies Ahaz made a league with the king of Assyria, who besieged Damascus, took, and demolished it. From that time we hear nothing of Damascus till we meet with it in this prophecy. It appears to have been rebuilt and restored to some consequence. It made an obstinate resistance to Nebuchadnezzar but was at last taken and sacked by him. At present it is both a large and populous city, with considerable commerce.
Hamath is confounded — This is a city of Syria, on the Orontes. The Greeks called it Epiphania.
Arpad — Not far from Damascus.
Sorrow on the sea — They are like the troubled sea, that cannot rest.
