King James Version
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,
thus saith
the
LORD;
Hath Israel no
sons
? hath he no
heir
? why
then
doth
their
king
inherit
Gad ,
and his people dwell
in his
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 come
, saith
the
LORD
, that
I will
cause
an
alarm
of
war
to
be
heard
in
Rabbah of the Ammonites;
and it shall
be
a desolate
heap, and her daughters shall
be
burned
with fire :
then
shall
Israel be
heir
unto
them
that
were
his
heirs, saith
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.
Howl, O
Heshbon, for Ai is
spoiled:
cry, ye
daughters of Rabbah, gird you
with
sackcloth ;
lament, and run
to and fro by the hedges ;
for their
king
shall
go
into captivity, and
his priests and his princes together.
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?
Wherefore
gloriest
thou in the
valleys ,
thy flowing
valley, O backsliding daughter ?
that
trusted
in her treasures ,
saying,
Who shall
come unto 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 will
bring
a fear upon
thee
, saith
the Lord GOD
of hosts, from all those
that
be
about thee ;
and ye shall
be
driven out every
man
right
forth;
and none
shall
gather
up
him
that
wandereth
.
And after
this
I turn
back
the captivity of the sons
of Ammon, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
. '
And afterward
I will
bring
again
the captivity of the children
of Ammon, saith
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 ,
thus saith
the
LORD
of hosts ;
Is wisdom no more in Teman? is
counsel perished
from the prudent
? is
their wisdom vanished
?
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.
Flee ye
, turn back
, dwell deep
, O
inhabitants of Dedan ;
for I
will
bring
the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that
I will
visit
him.
If gatherers
have
come in
to thee, They do
not leave gleanings,
If thieves in
the
night, They have destroyed
their
sufficiency!
If grapegatherers
come to thee, would
they not leave some
gleaning
grapes?
if thieves by
night, they will
destroy
till
they
have enough.
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 have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall
not be
able to
hide
himself:
his seed is
spoiled
, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
Leave thine
orphans
--
I do
keep
alive ,
And thy widows --
on
Me
trust ye,
Leave thy
fatherless
children,
I will
preserve
them
alive ;
and let
thy 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 thus saith
the
LORD;
Behold,
they whose judgment was
not to drink of the cup have
assuredly
drunken;
and art thou
he that shall
altogether
go
unpunished?
thou shalt
not go
unpunished
, but
thou shalt
surely
drink
of
it
.
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 I have sworn by
myself
, saith
the
LORD
, that Bozrah
shall
become
a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse;
and all the
cities thereof
shall
be
perpetual
wastes.
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
rumour
from the
LORD
, and an ambassador is sent unto
the
heathen
, saying,
Gather ye
together,
and come against her, and rise up
to
the
battle.
For, lo, little
I have
made
thee among nations
, Despised among men.
For, lo, I will
make
thee small
among the
heathen
, and
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
.
Thy terribleness hath deceived
thee, and
the pride of thine
heart, O thou
that
dwellest
in the
clefts of the rock, that
holdest
the height
of the hill:
though
thou shouldest
make
thy
nest
as
high as the
eagle, I will
bring thee down from
thence
, saith
the
LORD
.
And
Edom hath
been
for
a desolation ,
Every passer
by her
is
astonished, And doth
hiss because
of
all her
plagues.
Also
Edom shall
be
a desolation :
every one
that
goeth
by it
shall
be
astonished, and shall
hiss at
all the
plagues thereof
.
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 in
the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the
neighbour
cities
thereof
, saith
the
LORD
, no man
shall
abide
there, neither
shall
a son of man dwell
in
it
.
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
, he shall
come
up like
a
lion
from
the swelling
of Jordan against
the habitation of
the
strong:
but I will
suddenly
make
him run away
from her :
and who is a chosen
man
, that
I
may
appoint
over
her?
for who is like me? and who will
appoint
me the
time
? and who is that
shepherd that
will
stand
before 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 counsel of the
LORD
, that he hath taken
against
Edom ;
and his purposes,
that he hath purposed
against
the inhabitants of Teman: Surely
the
least
of the flock shall
draw
them out:
surely
he shall
make
their habitations
desolate
with
them.
From
the noise of their fall hath
the
earth
shaken
, The cry --
at
the sea
of
Suph
is
its
voice
heard.
The earth
is
moved
at
the
noise of their fall, at
the cry the noise
thereof
was
heard in
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 !'
Behold
, he shall
come
up and fly
as
the
eagle
, and spread
his wings over Bozrah :
and at
that
day
shall
the heart of the mighty men
of Edom be
as the heart of a woman in
her
pangs.
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 is
confounded,
and Arpad :
for they have heard evil
tidings:

it
cannot
be quiet.
Feeble
hath
been
Damascus, She
turned
to flee, and fear strengthened
her ,
Distress
and pangs
have seized
her, as a travailing
woman.
Damascus is
waxed
feeble
, and
turneth
herself
to flee, and fear hath
seized
on
her :
anguish
and sorrows
have taken
her, as a woman in
travail
.
How is it
not
left
--
the city of praise, The city of my joy!
How is the city of praise not
left
, the city of my joy!

do
her young men in her broad

, and all the men of war shall
be
cut off in that day, saith

a fire in
the wall of Damascus, and it shall
consume
the
palaces of Benhadad.

Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall
smite,

Their tents and their flock
they do

bear
away
for
themselves,
And they called
concerning
them, Fear `
is '
round
about
.

side

, O
ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith
the
LORD;
for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath
taken
counsel
against you,
and
hath
conceived
a purpose
against
you
.
Rise
ye

up unto a

rest
, Dwelling
confidently
, an

hath
no
two-leaved
doors
nor bar

do
dwell.

dwelleth
without
care
, saith

LORD
, which

neither
gates
nor bars
, which

been
for
a prey
, And the multitude of their cattle for
a spoil ,
And I have
scattered
them to
every

sides
thereof
, saith

doth
a
son of man !'

not in
.

of
the
days, I turn
back
`to'
the captivity of Elam, An

of
Jehovah!'
But
it shall
come to pass in the latter days, that
I will
bring
again
the captivity of Elam, saith
