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
?
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?
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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?
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? ’
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
.
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
.
And
after
this
I turn
back
the captivity of
the
sons
of
Ammon
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
Yet
afterward
I will
restore
the Ammonites
from
captivity, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
Concerning Edom :
`Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Is wisdom
no more
in Teman? Perished
hath
counsel from the intelligent
? Vanished
hath
their wisdom?
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
?
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.
Turn and
run!
Lie
low
, O
dwellers
of Dedan, for I will
bring
disaster
on
Esau
at
the time I punish
him.
If gatherers have
come
in
to thee
, They do
not leave gleanings ,
If
thieves in the night, They have
destroyed
their
sufficiency!
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?
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
.
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
.
Leave
thine
orphans --
I do
keep
alive,
And
thy
widows --
on
Me
trust ye,
Abandon
your
orphans ;
I will
preserve
their
lives.
Let
your
widows trust in
Me.”
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 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 ,
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
.
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
. ”
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 .
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 !”
For ,
lo
, little
I have
made
thee
among nations, Despised among men.
“
For behold
, I will
make
you
small
among nations, despised among men.
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
.
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
.
And
Edom hath
been
for
a
desolation,
Every
passer
by her
is
astonished,
And doth
hiss
because
of
all her plagues
.
“
Edom will
become
an
object
of
horror.
All
who
pass
by will
be
appalled
and will
scoff
at
all her wounds
.
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.
As Sodom and Gomorrah were
overthrown
along
with
their
neighbors
, ”
says
the
LORD
, “
no one will
dwell there ;
no
man will
abide
there
.
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?
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? ”
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?
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 .
From
the noise
of their fall hath
the earth shaken,
The
cry --
at
the sea of
Suph
is
its
voice
heard
.
At
the sound
of their fall the earth will
quake;
their
cry will
resound
to
the Red
Sea.
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 !'
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.
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
.
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
.
Feeble
hath
been
Damascus ,
She turned to flee ,
and
fear
strengthened
her ,
Distress
and pangs
have seized her ,
as
a travailing
woman.
Damascus has
become
feeble;
she has
turned to flee .
Panic
has
gripped
her ;
anguish
and pain
have seized her like
a woman in
labor
.
How is it
not
left
--
the city of praise, The city
of
my
joy !
How is the city of praise not
forsaken
, the town
that
brings
Me
joy ?
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.
For
her young men will
fall
in the
streets
, and all her
warriors
will
be
silenced
in that day, ”
declares
the
LORD
of Hosts.
And
I have
kindled
a
fire against
the wall
of Damascus ,
And
it consumed
palaces
of Ben-Hadad !'
“
I will
set
fire to
the walls
of Damascus ;
it will
consume
the
fortresses
of Ben-hadad .”
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 .
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 !
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.
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!’
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
.
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
.
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
.
Rise up ,
advance
against
a nation at ease
, one
that
dwells
securely
, ”
declares
the
LORD.
“They
have
no gates
or
bars;
they live
alone
.
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
.
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
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 !'
“
Hazor will
become
a haunt
for
jackals
, a desolation forever.
No one will
dwell there ;
no
man will
abide
there.”
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
the word of the
LORD
that
came
to
Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at
the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah .
`Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts: Lo
, I am
breaking
the
bow of
Elam
, The beginning
of their might.
This
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts says
: “Behold
, I will
shatter
Elam’s
bow, the mainstay
of their might.
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
.
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
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 ;
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
set My throne in Elam, And I
have
destroyed
thence
King and princes
--
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
I will
set My throne in Elam, and destroy
its
king and officials,”
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!'
“Yet
in the last
days, I will
restore
Elam from
captivity
, ”
declares
the
LORD.
