1 Concerning the Ammonites 1121 5983, thus saith 559 the LORD 3068; Hath Israel 3478 no sons 1121? hath he no heir 3423? why then doth their king 4428 inherit 3423 Gad 1410, and his people 5971 dwell 3427 in his cities 5892?
2 Therefore, behold, the days 3117 come 935, saith 559 the LORD 3068, that I will cause an alarm 8643 of war 4421 to be heard 8085 in Rabbah 7237 of the Ammonites 1121 5983; and it shall be a desolate 8077 heap 8510, and her daughters 1323 shall be burned 3341 with fire 784: then shall Israel 3478 be heir 3423 unto them that were his heirs 3423, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
3 Howl 3213, O Heshbon 2809, for Ai 5857 is spoiled 7703: cry 6817, ye daughters 1323 of Rabbah 7237, gird 2296 you with sackcloth 8242; lament 5594, and run to and fro 7751 by the hedges 1448; for their king 4428 shall go 3212 into captivity 1473, and his priests 3548 and his princes 8269 together 3162.
4 Wherefore gloriest 1984 thou in the valleys 6010, thy flowing 2100 valley 6010, O backsliding 7728 daughter 1323? that trusted 982 in her treasures 214, saying, Who shall come 935 unto me?
5 Behold, I will bring 935 a fear 6343 upon thee, saith 5002 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635, from all those that be about 5439 thee; and ye shall be driven out 5080 every man 376 right forth 6440; and none shall gather up 6908 him that wandereth 5074.
6 And afterward 310 I will bring again 7725 the captivity 7622 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
7 Concerning Edom 123, thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; Is wisdom 2451 no more in Teman 8487? is counsel 6098 perished 6 from the prudent 995? is their wisdom 2451 vanished 5628?
8 Flee 5127 ye, turn back 6437, dwell 3427 deep 6009, O inhabitants 3427 of Dedan 1719; for I will bring 935 the calamity 343 of Esau 6215 upon him, the time 6256 that I will visit 6485 him.
9 If grapegatherers 1219 come 935 to thee, would they not leave 7604 some gleaning grapes 5955? if thieves 1590 by night 3915, they will destroy 7843 till they have enough 1767.
10 But I have made Esau 6215 bare 2834, I have uncovered 1540 his secret places 4565, and he shall not be able 3201 to hide 2247 himself: his seed 2233 is spoiled 7703, and his brethren 251, and his neighbours 7934, and he is not.
11 Leave 5800 thy fatherless children 3490, I will preserve them alive 2421; and let thy widows 490 trust 982 in me.
12 For thus saith 559 the LORD 3068; Behold, they whose judgment 4941 was not to drink 8354 of the cup 3563 have assuredly 8354 drunken 8354; and art thou he that shall altogether 5352 go unpunished 5352? thou shalt not go unpunished 5352, but thou shalt surely 8354 drink 8354 of it.
13 For I have sworn 7650 by myself, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, that Bozrah 1224 shall become a desolation 8047, a reproach 2781, a waste 2721, and a curse 7045; and all the cities 5892 thereof shall be perpetual 5769 wastes 2723.
14 I have heard 8085 a rumour 8052 from the LORD 3068, and an ambassador 6735 is sent 7971 unto the heathen 1471, saying, Gather ye together 6908, and come 935 against her, and rise up 6965 to the battle 4421.
15 For, lo, I will make 5414 thee small 6996 among the heathen 1471, and despised 959 among men 120.
16 Thy terribleness 8606 hath deceived 5377 thee, and the pride 2087 of thine heart 3820, O thou that dwellest 7931 in the clefts 2288 of the rock 5553, that holdest 8610 the height 4791 of the hill 1389: though thou shouldest make thy nest 7064 as high 1361 as the eagle 5404, I will bring thee down 3381 from thence, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
17 Also Edom 123 shall be a desolation 8047: every one that goeth 5674 by it shall be astonished 8074, and shall hiss 8319 at all the plagues 4347 thereof.
18 As in the overthrow 4114 of Sodom 5467 and Gomorrah 6017 and the neighbour 7934 cities thereof, saith 559 the LORD 3068, no man 376 shall abide 3427 there, neither shall a son 1121 of man 120 dwell 1481 in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up 5927 like a lion 738 from the swelling 1347 of Jordan 3383 against the habitation 5116 of the strong 386: but I will suddenly 7280 make him run away 7323 from her: and who is a chosen 977 man, that I may appoint 6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time 3259? and who is that shepherd 7462 that will stand 5975 before 6440 me?
20 Therefore hear 8085 the counsel 6098 of the LORD 3068, that he hath taken 3289 against Edom 123; and his purposes 4284, that he hath purposed 2803 against the inhabitants 3427 of Teman 8487: Surely the least 6810 of the flock 6629 shall draw them out 5498: surely he shall make their habitations 5116 desolate 8074 with them.
21 The earth 776 is moved 7493 at the noise 6963 of their fall 5307, at the cry 6818 the noise 6963 thereof was heard 8085 in the Red 5488 sea 3220.
22 Behold, he shall come up 5927 and fly 1675 as the eagle 5404, and spread 6566 his wings 3671 over Bozrah 1224: and at that day 3117 shall the heart 3820 of the mighty men 1368 of Edom 123 be as the heart 3820 of a woman 802 in her pangs 6887.
23 Concerning Damascus 1834. Hamath 2574 is confounded 954, and Arpad 774: for they have heard 8085 evil 7451 tidings 8052: they are fainthearted 4127; there is sorrow 1674 on the sea 3220; it cannot 3201 be quiet 8252.
24 Damascus 1834 is waxed feeble 7503, and turneth 6437 herself to flee 5127, and fear 7374 hath seized 2388 on her: anguish 6869 and sorrows 2256 have taken 270 her, as a woman in travail 3205.
25 How is the city 5892 of praise 8416 not left 5800, the city 7151 of my joy 4885!
26 Therefore her young men 970 shall fall 5307 in her streets 7339, and all the men 582 of war 4421 shall be cut off 1826 in that day 3117, saith 5002 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.
27 And I will kindle 3341 a fire 784 in the wall 2346 of Damascus 1834, and it shall consume 398 the palaces 759 of Benhadad 1130.
28 Concerning Kedar 6938, and concerning the kingdoms 4467 of Hazor 2674, which Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 shall smite 5221, thus saith 559 the LORD 3068; Arise 6965 ye, go up 5927 to Kedar 6938, and spoil 7703 the men 1121 of the east 6924.
29 Their tents 168 and their flocks 6629 shall they take away 3947: they shall take 5375 to themselves their curtains 3407, and all their vessels 3627, and their camels 1581; and they shall cry 7121 unto them, Fear 4032 is on every side 5439.
30 Flee 5127, get 5110 you far off 3966, dwell 3427 deep 6009, O ye inhabitants 3427 of Hazor 2674, saith 5002 the LORD 3068; for Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 hath taken counsel 6098 3289 against you, and hath conceived 2803 a purpose 4284 against you.
31 Arise 6965, get you up 5927 unto the wealthy 7961 nation 1471, that dwelleth 3427 without care 983, saith 5002 the LORD 3068, which have neither gates 1817 nor bars 1280, which dwell 7931 alone 910.
32 And their camels 1581 shall be a booty 957, and the multitude 1995 of their cattle 4735 a spoil 7998: and I will scatter 2219 into all winds 7307 them that are in the utmost 7112 corners 6285; and I will bring 935 their calamity 343 from all sides 5676 thereof, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
33 And Hazor 2674 shall be a dwelling 4583 for dragons 8577, and a desolation 8077 for 5704 ever 5769: there shall no man 376 abide 3427 there, nor any son 1121 of man 120 dwell 1481 in it.
34 The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 that came to Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 against Elam 5867 in the beginning 7225 of the reign 4438 of Zedekiah 6667 king 4428 of Judah 3063, saying 559,
35 Thus saith 559 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; Behold, I will break 7665 the bow 7198 of Elam 5867, the chief 7225 of their might 1369.
36 And upon Elam 5867 will I bring 935 the four 702 winds 7307 from the four 702 quarters 7098 of heaven 8064, and will scatter 2219 them toward all those winds 7307; and there shall be no nation 1471 whither the outcasts 5080 of Elam 5867 5769 shall not come 935.
37 For I will cause Elam 5867 to be dismayed 2865 before 6440 their enemies 341, and before 6440 them that seek 1245 their life 5315: and I will bring 935 evil 7451 upon them, even my fierce 2740 anger 639, saith 5002 the LORD 3068; and I will send 7971 the sword 2719 after 310 them, till I have consumed 3615 them:
38 And I will set 7760 my throne 3678 in Elam 5867, and will destroy 6 from thence the king 4428 and the princes 8269, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
39 But it shall come to pass in the latter 319 days 3117, that I will bring again 7725 7725 the captivity 7622 7622 of Elam 5867, saith 5002 the LORD 3068.
