Jeremías 49:23

Hamath, 110 miles north of Damascus, and Arpad, 95 miles north of Hamath, were allied city-states that would hear disheartening and shameful news. The sea may have been some local body of water or some local symbol that Jeremiah used as a figure of disquietude. [Note: Feinberg, "Jeremiah," p. 669.] The lovely Pharpar River flowed through the city (cf. 2 Kings 5:12).
