Concerning the Ammonites, <H1121> <H5983> thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> Hath Israel <H3478> no sons? <H1121> hath he no heir? <H3423> why [then] doth their king <H4428> inherit <H3423> Gad, <H1410> and his people <H5971> dwell <H3427> in his cities? <H5892>
2
Therefore, behold, the days <H3117> come, <H0935> saith <H5002> the LORD, <H3068> that I will cause an alarm <H8643> of war <H4421> to be heard <H8085> in Rabbah <H7237> of the Ammonites; <H1121> <H5983> and it shall be a desolate <H8077> heap, <H8510> and her daughters <H1323> shall be burned <H3341> with fire: <H0784> then shall Israel <H3478> be heir <H3423> unto them that were his heirs, <H3423> saith <H0559> the LORD. <H3068>
3
Howl, <H3213> O Heshbon, <H2809> for Ai <H5857> is spoiled: <H7703> cry, <H6817> ye daughters <H1323> of Rabbah, <H7237> gird <H2296> you with sackcloth; <H8242> lament, <H5594> and run to and fro <H7751> by the hedges; <H1448> for their king <H4428> shall go <H3212> into captivity, <H1473> [and] his priests <H3548> and his princes <H8269> together. <H3162>
4
Wherefore gloriest <H1984> thou in the valleys, <H6010> thy flowing <H2100> valley, <H6010> O backsliding <H7728> daughter? <H1323> that trusted <H0982> in her treasures, <H0214> [saying], Who shall come <H0935> unto me?
5
Behold, I will bring <H0935> a fear <H6343> upon thee, saith <H5002> the Lord <H0136> GOD <H3069> of hosts, <H6635> from all those that be about <H5439> thee; and ye shall be driven out <H5080> every man <H0376> right forth; <H6440> and none shall gather up <H6908> him that wandereth. <H5074>
6
And afterward <H0310> I will bring again <H7725> the captivity <H7622> of the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
7
Concerning Edom, <H0123> thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts; <H6635> [Is] wisdom <H2451> no more in Teman? <H8487> is counsel <H6098> perished <H0006> from the prudent? <H0995> is their wisdom <H2451> vanished? <H5628>
8
Flee <H5127> ye, turn back, <H6437> dwell <H3427> deep, <H6009> O inhabitants <H3427> of Dedan; <H1719> for I will bring <H0935> the calamity <H0343> of Esau <H6215> upon him, the time <H6256> [that] I will visit <H6485> him.
9
If grapegatherers <H1219> come <H0935> to thee, would they not leave <H7604> [some] gleaning grapes? <H5955> if thieves <H1590> by night, <H3915> they will destroy <H7843> till they have enough. <H1767>
10
But I have made Esau <H6215> bare, <H2834> I have uncovered <H1540> his secret places, <H4565> and he shall not be able <H3201> to hide <H2247> himself: his seed <H2233> is spoiled, <H7703> and his brethren, <H0251> and his neighbours, <H7934> and he [is] not.
11
Leave <H5800> thy fatherless children, <H3490> I will preserve [them] alive; <H2421> and let thy widows <H0490> trust <H0982> in me.
12
For thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> Behold, they whose judgment <H4941> [was] not to drink <H8354> of the cup <H3563> have assuredly <H8354> drunken; <H8354> and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether <H5352> go unpunished? <H5352> thou shalt not go unpunished, <H5352> but thou shalt surely <H8354> drink <H8354> [of it].
13
For I have sworn <H7650> by myself, saith <H5002> the LORD, <H3068> that Bozrah <H1224> shall become a desolation, <H8047> a reproach, <H2781> a waste, <H2721> and a curse; <H7045> and all the cities <H5892> thereof shall be perpetual <H5769> wastes. <H2723>
14
I have heard <H8085> a rumour <H8052> from the LORD, <H3068> and an ambassador <H6735> is sent <H7971> unto the heathen, <H1471> [saying], Gather ye together, <H6908> and come <H0935> against her, and rise up <H6965> to the battle. <H4421>
15
For, lo, I will make <H5414> thee small <H6996> among the heathen, <H1471> [and] despised <H0959> among men. <H0120>
16
Thy terribleness <H8606> hath deceived <H5377> thee, [and] the pride <H2087> of thine heart, <H3820> O thou that dwellest <H7931> in the clefts <H2288> of the rock, <H5553> that holdest <H8610> the height <H4791> of the hill: <H1389> though thou shouldest make thy nest <H7064> as high <H1361> as the eagle, <H5404> I will bring thee down <H3381> from thence, saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
17
Also Edom <H0123> shall be a desolation: <H8047> every one that goeth <H5674> by it shall be astonished, <H8074> and shall hiss <H8319> at all the plagues <H4347> thereof.
18
As in the overthrow <H4114> of Sodom <H5467> and Gomorrah <H6017> and the neighbour <H7934> [cities] thereof, saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> no man <H0376> shall abide <H3427> there, neither shall a son <H1121> of man <H0120> dwell <H1481> in it.
19
Behold, he shall come up <H5927> like a lion <H0738> from the swelling <H1347> of Jordan <H3383> against the habitation <H5116> of the strong: <H0386> but I will suddenly <H7280> make him run away <H7323> from her: and who [is] a chosen <H0977> [man, that] I may appoint <H6485> over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? <H3259> and who [is] that shepherd <H7462> that will stand <H5975> before <H6440> me?
20
Therefore hear <H8085> the counsel <H6098> of the LORD, <H3068> that he hath taken <H3289> against Edom; <H0123> and his purposes, <H4284> that he hath purposed <H2803> against the inhabitants <H3427> of Teman: <H8487> Surely the least <H6810> of the flock <H6629> shall draw them out: <H5498> surely he shall make their habitations <H5116> desolate <H8074> with them.
21
The earth <H0776> is moved <H7493> at the noise <H6963> of their fall, <H5307> at the cry <H6818> the noise <H6963> thereof was heard <H8085> in the Red <H5488> sea. <H3220>
22
Behold, he shall come up <H5927> and fly <H1675> as the eagle, <H5404> and spread <H6566> his wings <H3671> over Bozrah: <H1224> and at that day <H3117> shall the heart <H3820> of the mighty men <H1368> of Edom <H0123> be as the heart <H3820> of a woman <H0802> in her pangs. <H6887>
23
Concerning Damascus. <H1834> Hamath <H2574> is confounded, <H0954> and Arpad: <H0774> for they have heard <H8085> evil <H7451> tidings: <H8052> they are fainthearted; <H4127> [there is] sorrow <H1674> on the sea; <H3220> it cannot <H3808> <H3201> be quiet. <H8252>
24
Damascus <H1834> is waxed feeble, <H7503> [and] turneth <H6437> herself to flee, <H5127> and fear <H7374> hath seized <H2388> on [her]: anguish <H6869> and sorrows <H2256> have taken her, <H0270> as a woman in travail. <H3205>
25
How is the city <H5892> of praise <H8416> not left, <H5800> the city <H7151> of my joy! <H4885>
26
Therefore her young men <H0970> shall fall <H5307> in her streets, <H7339> and all the men <H0582> of war <H4421> shall be cut off <H1826> in that day, <H3117> saith <H5002> the LORD <H3068> of hosts. <H6635>
27
And I will kindle <H3341> a fire <H0784> in the wall <H2346> of Damascus, <H1834> and it shall consume <H0398> the palaces <H0759> of Benhadad. <H1130>
28
Concerning Kedar, <H6938> and concerning the kingdoms <H4467> of Hazor, <H2674> which Nebuchadrezzar <H5019> king <H4428> of Babylon <H0894> shall smite, <H5221> thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> Arise <H6965> ye, go up <H5927> to Kedar, <H6938> and spoil <H7703> the men <H1121> of the east. <H6924>
29
Their tents <H0168> and their flocks <H6629> shall they take away: <H3947> they shall take <H5375> to themselves their curtains, <H3407> and all their vessels, <H3627> and their camels; <H1581> and they shall cry <H7121> unto them, Fear <H4032> [is] on every side. <H5439>
30
Flee, <H5127> get <H5110> you far <H3966> off, dwell <H3427> deep, <H6009> O ye inhabitants <H3427> of Hazor, <H2674> saith <H5002> the LORD; <H3068> for Nebuchadrezzar <H5019> king <H4428> of Babylon <H0894> hath taken counsel <H6098> <H3289> against you, and hath conceived <H2803> a purpose <H4284> against you.
31
Arise, <H6965> get you up <H5927> unto the wealthy <H7961> nation, <H1471> that dwelleth <H3427> without care, <H0983> saith <H5002> the LORD, <H3068> which have neither gates <H1817> nor bars, <H1280> [which] dwell <H7931> alone. <H0910>
32
And their camels <H1581> shall be a booty, <H0957> and the multitude <H1995> of their cattle <H4735> a spoil: <H7998> and I will scatter <H2219> into all winds <H7307> them [that are] in the utmost <H7112> corners; <H6285> and I will bring <H0935> their calamity <H0343> from all sides <H5676> thereof, saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
33
And Hazor <H2674> shall be a dwelling <H4583> for dragons, <H8577> [and] a desolation <H8077> for <H5704> ever: <H5769> there shall no man <H0376> abide <H3427> there, nor [any] son <H1121> of man <H0120> dwell <H1481> in it.
34
The word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> that came to Jeremiah <H3414> the prophet <H5030> against Elam <H5867> in the beginning <H7225> of the reign <H4438> of Zedekiah <H6667> king <H4428> of Judah, <H3063> saying, <H0559>
35
Thus saith <H0559> the LORD <H3068> of hosts; <H6635> Behold, I will break <H7665> the bow <H7198> of Elam, <H5867> the chief <H7225> of their might. <H1369>
36
And upon Elam <H5867> will I bring <H0935> the four <H0702> winds <H7307> from the four <H0702> quarters <H7098> of heaven, <H8064> and will scatter <H2219> them toward all those winds; <H7307> and there shall be no nation <H1471> whither the outcasts <H5080> of Elam <H5867> <H5769> shall not come. <H0935>
37
For I will cause Elam <H5867> to be dismayed <H2865> before <H6440> their enemies, <H0341> and before <H6440> them that seek <H1245> their life: <H5315> and I will bring <H0935> evil <H7451> upon them, [even] my fierce <H2740> anger, <H0639> saith <H5002> the LORD; <H3068> and I will send <H7971> the sword <H2719> after <H0310> them, till I have consumed <H3615> them:
38
And I will set <H7760> my throne <H3678> in Elam, <H5867> and will destroy <H0006> from thence the king <H4428> and the princes, <H8269> saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
39
But it shall come to pass in the latter <H0319> days, <H3117> [that] I will bring again <H7725> the captivity <H7622> <H7622> of Elam, <H5867> saith <H5002> the LORD. <H3068>
