1 # Concerning the Ammonites <01121> <05983>, thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Hath Israel <03478> no sons <01121>? hath he no heir <03423> (8802)? why then doth their king <04428> inherit <03423> (8804) Gad <01410>, and his people <05971> dwell <03427> (8804) in his cities <05892>?
2 Therefore, behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, that I will cause an alarm <08643> of war <04421> to be heard <08085> (8689) in Rabbah <07237> of the Ammonites <01121> <05983> ; and it shall be a desolate <08077> heap <08510>, and her daughters <01323> shall be burned <03341> (8799) with fire <0784> : then shall Israel <03478> be heir <03423> (8804) unto them that were his heirs <03423> (8802), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
3 Howl <03213> (8685), O Heshbon <02809>, for Ai <05857> is spoiled <07703> (8795): cry <06817> (8798), ye daughters <01323> of Rabbah <07237>, gird <02296> (8798) you with sackcloth <08242>; lament <05594> (8798), and run to and fro <07751> (8708) by the hedges <01448>; for their king <04428> shall go <03212> (8799) into captivity <01473>, and his priests <03548> and his princes <08269> together <03162>.
4 Wherefore gloriest <01984> (8691) thou in the valleys <06010>, thy flowing <02100> (8802) valley <06010> , O backsliding <07728> daughter <01323>? that trusted <0982> (8802) in her treasures <0214>, saying, Who shall come <0935> (8799) unto me?
5 Behold, I will bring <0935> (8688) a fear <06343> upon thee, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> of hosts <06635>, from all those that be about <05439> thee; and ye shall be driven out <05080> (8738) every man <0376> right forth <06440>; and none shall gather up <06908> (8764) him that wandereth <05074> (8802).
6 And afterward <0310> I will bring again <07725> (8686) the captivity <07622> of the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
7 # Concerning Edom <0123>, thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Is wisdom <02451> no more in Teman <08487>? is counsel <06098> perished <06> (8804) from the prudent <0995> (8801)? is their wisdom <02451> vanished <05628> (8738)?
8 Flee <05127> (8798) ye, turn back <06437> (8717), dwell <03427> (8800) deep <06009> (8689), O inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Dedan <01719>; for I will bring <0935> (8689) the calamity <0343> of Esau <06215> upon him, the time <06256> that I will visit <06485> (8804) him.
9 If grapegatherers <01219> (8802) come <0935> (8804) to thee, would they not leave <07604> (8686) some gleaning grapes <05955>? if thieves <01590> by night <03915>, they will destroy <07843> (8689) till they have enough <01767> .
10 But I have made Esau <06215> bare <02834> (8804), I have uncovered <01540> (8765) his secret places <04565> , and he shall not be able <03201> (8799) to hide <02247> (8736) himself: his seed <02233> is spoiled <07703> (8795), and his brethren <0251>, and his neighbours <07934>, and he is not.
11 Leave <05800> (8798) thy fatherless children <03490>, I will preserve them alive <02421> (8762); and let thy widows <0490> trust <0982> (8799) in me.
12 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Behold, they whose judgment <04941> was not to drink <08354> (8800) of the cup <03563> have assuredly <08354> (8800) drunken <08354> (8799); and art thou he that shall altogether <05352> (8800) go unpunished <05352> (8735)? thou shalt not go unpunished <05352> (8735), but thou shalt surely <08354> (8800) drink <08354> (8799) of it.
13 For I have sworn <07650> (8738) by myself, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that Bozrah <01224> shall become a desolation <08047>, a reproach <02781>, a waste <02721>, and a curse <07045>; and all the cities <05892> thereof shall be perpetual <05769> wastes <02723>.
14 I have heard <08085> (8804) a rumour <08052> from the LORD <03068>, and an ambassador <06735> is sent <07971> (8803) unto the heathen <01471>, saying, Gather ye together <06908> (8690), and come <0935> (8798) against her, and rise up <06965> (8798) to the battle <04421>.
15 For, lo, I will make <05414> (8804) thee small <06996> among the heathen <01471>, and despised <0959> (8803) among men <0120>.
16 Thy terribleness <08606> hath deceived <05377> (8689) thee, and the pride <02087> of thine heart <03820> , O thou that dwellest <07931> (8802) in the clefts <02288> of the rock <05553>, that holdest <08610> (8802) the height <04791> of the hill <01389>: though thou shouldest make thy nest <07064> as high <01361> (8686) as the eagle <05404>, I will bring thee down <03381> (8686) from thence, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
17 Also Edom <0123> shall be a desolation <08047>: every one that goeth <05674> (8802) by it shall be astonished <08074> (8799), and shall hiss <08319> (8799) at all the plagues <04347> thereof.
18 As in the overthrow <04114> of Sodom <05467> and Gomorrah <06017> and the neighbour <07934> cities thereof, saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, no man <0376> shall abide <03427> (8799) there, neither shall a son <01121> of man <0120> dwell <01481> (8799) in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up <05927> (8799) like a lion <0738> from the swelling <01347> of Jordan <03383> against the habitation <05116> of the strong <0386>: but I will suddenly <07280> (8686) make him run away <07323> (8686) from her: and who is a chosen <0977> (8803) man, that I may appoint <06485> (8799) over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time <03259> (8686)? and who is that shepherd <07462> (8802) that will stand <05975> (8799) before <06440> me?
20 Therefore hear <08085> (8798) the counsel <06098> of the LORD <03068>, that he hath taken <03289> (8804) against Edom <0123>; and his purposes <04284>, that he hath purposed <02803> (8804) against the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Teman <08487>: Surely the least <06810> of the flock <06629> shall draw them out <05498> (8799): surely he shall make their habitations <05116> desolate <08074> (8686) with them.
21 The earth <0776> is moved <07493> (8804) at the noise <06963> of their fall <05307> (8800), at the cry <06818> the noise <06963> thereof was heard <08085> (8738) in the Red <05488> sea <03220>.
22 Behold, he shall come up <05927> (8799) and fly <01675> (8799) as the eagle <05404>, and spread <06566> (8799) his wings <03671> over Bozrah <01224>: and at that day <03117> shall the heart <03820> of the mighty men <01368> of Edom <0123> be as the heart <03820> of a woman <0802> in her pangs <06887> (8688).
23 # Concerning Damascus <01834>. Hamath <02574> is confounded <0954> (8804), and Arpad <0774>: for they have heard <08085> (8804) evil <07451> tidings <08052>: they are fainthearted <04127> (8738); there is sorrow <01674> on the sea <03220>; it cannot <03201> (8799) be quiet <08252> (8687).
24 Damascus <01834> is waxed feeble <07503> (8804), and turneth <06437> (8689) herself to flee <05127> (8800), and fear <07374> hath seized <02388> (8689) on her: anguish <06869> and sorrows <02256> have taken <0270> (8804) her, as a woman in travail <03205> (8802).
25 How is the city <05892> of praise <08416> not left <05800> (8795), the city <07151> of my joy <04885>!
26 Therefore her young men <0970> shall fall <05307> (8799) in her streets <07339>, and all the men <0582> of war <04421> shall be cut off <01826> (8735) in that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
27 And I will kindle <03341> (8689) a fire <0784> in the wall <02346> of Damascus <01834>, and it shall consume <0398> (8804) the palaces <0759> of Benhadad <01130>.
28 # Concerning Kedar <06938>, and concerning the kingdoms <04467> of Hazor <02674>, which Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> shall smite <05221> (8689), thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Arise <06965> (8798) ye, go up <05927> (8798) to Kedar <06938>, and spoil <07703> (8798) the men <01121> of the east <06924> .
29 Their tents <0168> and their flocks <06629> shall they take away <03947> (8799): they shall take <05375> (8799) to themselves their curtains <03407>, and all their vessels <03627>, and their camels <01581>; and they shall cry <07121> (8804) unto them, Fear <04032> is on every side <05439>.
30 Flee <05127> (8798), get <05110> (8798) you far off <03966>, dwell <03427> (8800) deep <06009> (8689), O ye inhabitants <03427> (8802) of Hazor <02674>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> ; for Nebuchadrezzar <05019> king <04428> of Babylon <0894> hath taken counsel <06098> <03289> (8804) against you, and hath conceived <02803> (8804) a purpose <04284> against you.
31 Arise <06965> (8798), get you up <05927> (8798) unto the wealthy <07961> nation <01471>, that dwelleth <03427> (8802) without care <0983>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, which have neither gates <01817> nor bars <01280>, which dwell <07931> (8799) alone <0910>.
32 And their camels <01581> shall be a booty <0957>, and the multitude <01995> of their cattle <04735> a spoil <07998> : and I will scatter <02219> (8765) into all winds <07307> them that are in the utmost <07112> (8803) corners <06285> ; and I will bring <0935> (8686) their calamity <0343> from all sides <05676> thereof, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
33 And Hazor <02674> shall be a dwelling <04583> for dragons <08577>, and a desolation <08077> for <05704> ever <05769>: there shall no man <0376> abide <03427> (8799) there, nor any son <01121> of man <0120> dwell <01481> (8799) in it.
34 # The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> that came to Jeremiah <03414> the prophet <05030> against Elam <05867> in the beginning <07225> of the reign <04438> of Zedekiah <06667> king <04428> of Judah <03063>, saying <0559> (8800) ,
35 Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>; Behold, I will break <07665> (8799) the bow <07198> of Elam <05867>, the chief <07225> of their might <01369>.
36 And upon Elam <05867> will I bring <0935> (8689) the four <0702> winds <07307> from the four <0702> quarters <07098> of heaven <08064>, and will scatter <02219> (8765) them toward all those winds <07307>; and there shall be no nation <01471> whither the outcasts <05080> (8737) of Elam <05867> (8675) <05769> shall not come <0935> (8799) .
37 For I will cause Elam <05867> to be dismayed <02865> (8689) before <06440> their enemies <0341> (8802) , and before <06440> them that seek <01245> (8764) their life <05315>: and I will bring <0935> (8689) evil <07451> upon them, even my fierce <02740> anger <0639>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; and I will send <07971> (8765) the sword <02719> after <0310> them, till I have consumed <03615> (8763) them:
38 And I will set <07760> (8804) my throne <03678> in Elam <05867>, and will destroy <06> (8689) from thence the king <04428> and the princes <08269>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter <0319> days <03117>, that I will bring again <07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799) the captivity <07622> (8675) <07622> of Elam <05867>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
