Concerning the Ammonites,
this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “Has
Israel
no
sons? Is
he
without
heir? Why
then
has
Milcom
taken
possession
of
Gad? Why
have
his people settled
in their
cities?
Concerning the sons
of
Ammon
: `Thus
said
Jehovah:
Sons --
hath
Israel
none
? heir --
hath
he
none
? Wherefore
hath
Malcam
possessed
Gad? And
his people in its
cities have
dwelt
?
Therefore, behold
, the
days are coming, declares
the
LORD
, when
I will
sound
the
battle
cry
against
Rabbah of the Ammonites.
It will
become
a heap of
ruins
, and its
villages
will
be
burned.
Then
Israel will
drive
out
their
dispossessors
, says
the
LORD
.
Therefore, lo
, days are coming, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
I have
sounded
unto
Rabbah of the sons
of
Ammon
a
shout
of
battle,
And
it hath
been
for
a heap --
a
desolation
, And her
daughters
with
fire
are
burnt,
And
Israel hath
succeeded
its
heirs
, Said
hath
Jehovah
.
Wail
, O
Heshbon, for Ai has
been
destroyed;
cry out
, O
daughters of Rabbah !
Put
on sackcloth and mourn;
run
back
and forth
within
your
walls
, for Milcom
will
go
into exile
together
with
his priests and officials
.
Howl
, Heshbon, for spoiled
is
Ai ,
Cry, daughters of Rabbah ,
gird
on sackcloth ,
Lament,
and go
to
and fro
by
the
hedges
, For Malcam
into captivity
doth
go,
His priests and his
princes
together
.
Why
do
you
boast of
your
valleys—
your
valleys so
fruitful
, O faithless
daughter ?
You
trust
in
your
riches
and
say
, ‘
Who can
come against
me? ’
What
--
dost
thou
boast thyself
in
valleys ?
Flowed
hath
thy
valley
, O backsliding
daughter, Who is
trusting
in
her
treasures:
Who
doth
come in
unto
me?
Behold
, I am about
to
bring
terror
upon you
, declares
the Lord GOD
of Hosts, from all those
around
you.
You
will
each
be
driven headlong
, with
no one
to
regather
the fugitives
.
Lo
, I am bringing
in
upon thee
a
fear
, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
of Hosts, From all round
about
thee,
And
ye
have
been
driven out
each
before
it
, And
there
is
no gatherer
of
the wandering
.
Yet
afterward
I will
restore
the Ammonites
from
captivity ,”
declares
the LORD
.
And
after
this
I turn
back
the captivity of
the sons
of
Ammon,
An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
Concerning Edom ,
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “
Is there
no
longer
wisdom in Teman? Has
counsel
perished from the prudent
? Has
their wisdom decayed
?
Concerning Edom :
`Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Is wisdom no
more
in Teman? Perished hath
counsel
from the intelligent
? Vanished
hath
their wisdom?
Turn and
run!
Lie
low
, O
dwellers
of Dedan, for I
will
bring
disaster
on
Esau at
the time I punish
him.
Flee,
turn, go
deep
to
dwell,
ye
inhabitants
of Dedan, For the
calamity
of
Esau I
brought
in
upon
him,
The time I inspected
him.
If grape
gatherers came
to you
, would
they not leave some
gleanings ?
Were
thieves to
come
in the night, would
they not
steal
only
what
they
wanted?
If gatherers have
come
in
to thee
, They do
not leave gleanings ,
If
thieves in the night, They have
destroyed
their
sufficiency!
But
I will
strip
Esau bare ;
I will
uncover
his hiding
places, and he
will
be
unable
to conceal
himself.
His
descendants
will
be destroyed
along
with
his relatives
and neighbors
, and he will
be
no
more
.
For
I --
I
have
made
Esau bare ,
I have
uncovered
his secret
places, And to be hidden
he
is
not
able,
Spoiled
`is'
his seed,
and his
brethren
, And his
neighbours,
and
he is
not
.
Abandon
your
orphans ;
I will
preserve
their
lives.
Let
your
widows trust
in
Me .”
Leave
thine
orphans --
I do
keep
alive,
And
thy
widows --
on
Me trust
ye,
For this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “If
those
who
do
not deserve
to drink the cup must
drink it
, can
you
possibly
remain
unpunished?
You
will
not go
unpunished
, for you
must
drink
it
too
.
For thus
said
Jehovah
: They
whose
judgment
is
not to drink of
the cup ,
Do
certainly
drink, And
thou
`art'
he
that
is
entirely
acquitted!
Thou
art
not acquitted
, for thou
certainly
drinkest
.
For by Myself I have sworn, declares
the
LORD
, that Bozrah
will
become
a desolation, a disgrace
, a ruin
, and a curse
, and all her cities will
be
in
ruins
forever
. ”
For ,
by Myself ,
I have sworn, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, That for
a desolation, for
a reproach
, For
a waste
, and for
a reviling
--
is
Bozrah
, And all her cities are
for
wastes
age-during
.
I have heard a
message
from the
LORD;
an envoy
has
been
sent
to
the
nations :
“Assemble
yourselves to
march
against her !
Rise up
for battle !”
A
report
I have heard from Jehovah,
And
an ambassador
among
nations is
sent,
Gather
yourselves and
come
in
against her ,
And
rise ye
for battle .
“
For behold
, I will
make
you
small
among nations, despised among men.
For, lo,
little
I have
made
thee
among nations, Despised among men.
The
terror
you
cause
and
the pride of your
heart have
deceived
you
, O dwellers
in the
clefts of the rocks
, O
occupiers
of
the mountain
summit.
Though
you
elevate
your
nest
like
the eagle, even
from there
I will
bring you
down, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
Thy
terribleness
hath
lifted
thee
up,
The pride of thy
heart, O dweller
in clefts of the rock
, Holding
the high
place
of
the height,
For
thou
makest
high
as
an
eagle thy
nest
, From thence
I bring thee
down, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
“
Edom will
become
an
object
of
horror.
All
who
pass
by will
be
appalled
and will
scoff
at
all her wounds
.
And
Edom hath
been
for
a
desolation,
Every
passer
by her
is
astonished,
And doth
hiss
because
of
all her plagues
.
As Sodom and Gomorrah were
overthrown
along
with
their
neighbors
, ”
says
the
LORD
, “
no one will
dwell there ;
no
man will
abide
there
.
As the
overthrow
of
Sodom and Gomorrah, And
its
neighbours
, said
Jehovah,
No one doth
dwell there ,
Nor
sojourn
in
her
doth
a
son
of
man.
Behold
, one
will
come
up
like
a lion from
the thickets
of the Jordan to
the watered
pasture.
For
in
an
instant
I will
chase
Edom
from her land.
Who is the
chosen one
I
will
appoint
for
this
? For who is like Me ,
and who can
challenge
Me? What
shepherd can
stand
against
Me? ”
Lo
, as
a lion he
cometh
up,
Because
of
the rising
of the Jordan ,
Unto
the enduring
habitation,
But
I cause
to
rest,
I
cause
him
to
run
from off
her ,
And
who is chosen? concerning
her
I
lay
a
charge,
For who is like Me ?
and who conveneth
Me? And
who
`is'
this
shepherd who
standeth
before
Me?
Therefore hear the plans
that the
LORD
has
drawn
up
against
Edom and the
strategies
He has
devised against
the people
of Teman: Surely
the
little ones of the flock will
be
dragged
away;
certainly
their
pasture
will
be
made
desolate because
of
them .
Therefore ,
hear ye
the counsel
of
Jehovah,
That He
hath
counselled
concerning
Edom ,
And His
devices
that
He hath
devised Concerning
the inhabitants
of Teman: Drag
them
out
do
not
little ones of the flock ,
Make
desolate over
them doth
he
not
their
habitation?
At
the sound
of their fall the earth will
quake;
their
cry will
resound
to
the Red
Sea.
From
the noise
of their fall hath
the earth shaken,
The
cry --
at
the sea of
Suph
is
its
voice
heard
.
Look!
An eagle will
soar
and swoop
down
, spreading
its
wings over Bozrah .
In
that
day
the hearts
of Edom’s
mighty men
will
be
like
the heart of a woman in
labor.
Lo,
as
an eagle he
cometh
up,
and flieth
, And
he
spreadeth
his
wings over Bozrah ,
And
the heart
of the
mighty of
Edom
hath
been
in
that
day,
As
the heart of a distressed
woman !'
Concerning Damascus: “
Hamath and Arpad are
put
to
shame
, for they have heard a
bad
report;
they are
agitated
like
the sea ;
their
anxiety
cannot
be calmed
.
Concerning Damascus: Ashamed
hath
been
Hamath and Arpad, For an
evil
report
they have heard ,
They have
been
melted,
in
the sea `is'
sorrow,
To
be quiet
it
is
not
able
.
Damascus
has
become
feeble ;
she has
turned to flee .
Panic
has
gripped
her ;
anguish
and pain
have seized her like
a woman in
labor
.
Feeble hath
been
Damascus,
She turned to flee ,
and
fear
strengthened
her ,
Distress
and pangs
have seized her ,
as
a travailing
woman.
How is the city of praise not
forsaken
, the town
that
brings
Me
joy ?
How is it
not
left
--
the city of praise, The city
of
my
joy !
For
her young men will
fall
in the
streets
, and all her
warriors
will
be
silenced
in that day, ”
declares
the
LORD
of Hosts.
Therefore
fall
do
her young men in her
broad
places
, And all the
men
of
war
are
cut
off
in that day, An
affirmation
of Jehovah
of
Hosts.
“
I will
set
fire to
the walls
of Damascus ;
it will
consume
the
fortresses
of Ben-hadad .”
And
I have
kindled
a
fire against
the wall
of Damascus ,
And
it consumed
palaces
of Ben-Hadad !'
Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which
Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon defeated,
this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “Rise
up
, advance
against
Kedar, and destroy
the people
of the east !
Concerning Kedar ,
and concerning
the kingdoms of Hazor, that
Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon hath
smitten
: `Thus
said
Jehovah:
Arise
ye
, go
ye
up
unto
Kedar, And spoil
the sons
of the east .
They
will
take
their tents and flocks
, their tent
curtains and all their goods.
They
will
take
their camels for themselves .
They will
shout
to
them :
‘Terror
is on
every
side!’
Their tents and their
flock
they
do
take
, Their curtains ,
and all their vessels,
And
their camels ,
they
bear
away
for themselves ,
And
they called
concerning
them ,
Fear
`
is '
round
about.
Run!
Escape
quickly!
Lie
low
, O
residents
of Hazor ,”
declares
the
LORD
, “
for Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon has
drawn
up
a
plan
against
you;
he has
devised
a
strategy
against you
.
Flee
, bemoan
mightily,
go
deep
to
dwell,
Ye
inhabitants
of Hazor --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, For given
counsel
against
you
hath
Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon ,
Yea,
he deviseth
against them
a
device
.
Rise up
, advance
against
a nation at ease
, one
that
dwells
securely
, ”
declares
the
LORD.
“They
have
no gates
or
bars;
they
live
alone.
Rise ye
, go
up
unto
a nation at rest
, Dwelling
confidently
, an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
It
hath
no two-leaved
doors
nor
bar,
Alone they
do
dwell
.
Their camels will
become
plunder
, and their large
herds
will
be
spoil .
I will
scatter
to the
wind
in
every direction
those
who shave
their
temples;
I will
bring calamity on
them
from
all
sides
, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
And
their camels have
been
for
a
prey
, And the
multitude
of
their cattle
for
a
spoil ,
And
I have
scattered
them
to every wind,
Who cut
off
the
corner
`of
the
beard',
And
from
all
its
passages
I bring in
their
calamity, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
“
Hazor will
become
a
haunt
for jackals
, a desolation forever.
No one will
dwell there ;
no
man will
abide
there.”
And
Hazor hath
been
for a
habitation
of
dragons
, A desolation --
unto
the
age,
No one doth
dwell there ,
nor
sojourn
in
it
doth
a
son
of
man !'
This
is
the word of the
LORD
that
came
to
Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at
the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah .
That
which
hath
been
the word of Jehovah
unto
Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam ,
in
the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah ,
saying:
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “Behold
, I will
shatter
Elam’s
bow, the mainstay
of their might.
`Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Lo
, I am
breaking
the
bow of
Elam
, The beginning
of their might.
I will
bring
the
four winds against
Elam
from the four corners
of the heavens, and I
will
scatter
them to all these winds .
There will
not
be
a
nation to
which
Elam’s
exiles
will
not go
.
And
I have
brought
in
to
Elam
four winds ,
From the four ends
of the heavens, And have
scattered
them to all these winds ,
And
there is
no
nation whither
outcasts
of
Elam
come
not in
.
So
I will
shatter
Elam before their foes
, before those who
seek
their lives.
I will
bring
disaster
upon
them, even
My
fierce
anger, ”
declares
the
LORD.
“
I will
send
out
the
sword
after them until
I finish
them off.
And
I have
affrighted
Elam before their enemies
, And
before those seeking
their life,
And
I have
brought
in
against
them evil
, The
heat
of
Mine
anger, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
And
I have
sent
after them the
sword,
Till
I have
consumed
them ;
I will
set My throne in Elam, and destroy
its
king and officials,”
declares
the
LORD
.
And
I have
set My throne in Elam, And I
have
destroyed
thence
King and princes
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
“Yet
in the last
days, I will
restore
Elam
from
captivity, ”
declares
the
LORD.
And
it
hath
come
to
pass,
in the latter
end
of
the
days, I turn
back
`to'
the
captivity of
Elam
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah!'
