Of the children of Ammon.{H1121} Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Hath Israel{H3478} no sons?{H1121} hath he no heir?{H3423} why then doth Malcam{H4428} possess{H3423} Gad,{H1410} and his people{H5971} dwell{H3427} in the cities{H5892} thereof?

Therefore, behold, the days{H3117} come,{H935} saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} that I will cause an alarm{H8643} of war{H4421} to be heard{H8085} against Rabbah{H7237} of the children of Ammon;{H1121} and it shall become a desolate{H8077} heap,{H8510} and her daughters{H1323} shall be burned{H3341} with fire:{H784} then shall Israel{H3478} possess{H3423} them that did possess{H3423} him, saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Wail,{H3213} O Heshbon,{H2809} for Ai{H5857} is laid waste;{H7703} cry,{H6817} ye daughters{H1323} of Rabbah,{H7237} gird{H2296} you with sackcloth:{H8242} lament,{H5594} and run to and fro{H7751} among the fences; for Malcam{H4428} shall go{H3212} into captivity,{H1473} his priests{H3548} and his princes{H8269} together.{H3162}

Wherefore gloriest{H1984} thou in the valleys,{H6010} thy flowing{H2100} valley,{H6010} O backsliding{H7728} daughter?{H1323} that trusted{H982} in her treasures,{H214} [saying], Who shall come{H935} unto me?

Behold, I will bring{H935} a fear{H6343} upon thee, saith{H5002} the Lord,{H136} Jehovah{H136} of hosts,{H6635} from all that are round about{H5439} thee; and ye shall be driven out{H5080} every man{H376} right forth,{H6440} and there shall be none to gather together{H6908} the fugitives.{H5074}

But afterward{H310} I will bring back{H7725} the captivity{H7622} of the children{H1121} of Ammon,{H5983} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Of Edom.{H123} Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts:{H6635} Is wisdom{H2451} no more in Teman?{H8487} is counsel{H6098} perished{H6} from the prudent?{H995} is their wisdom{H2451} vanished?{H5628}

Flee{H5127} ye, turn back,{H6437} dwell{H3427} in the depths,{H6009} O inhabitants{H3427} of Dedan;{H1719} for I will bring{H935} the calamity{H343} of Esau{H6215} upon him, the time{H6256} that I shall visit{H6485} him.

If grape-gatherers{H1219} came{H935} to thee, would they not leave{H7604} some gleaning grapes?{H5955} if thieves{H1590} by night,{H3915} would they not destroy{H7843} till they had enough?{H1767}

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 destroyed,{H7703} and his brethren,{H251} and his neighbors;{H7934} and he is not.

Leave{H5800} thy fatherless children,{H3490} I will preserve them alive;{H2421} and let thy widows{H490} trust{H982} in me.

For thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Behold, they to whom it pertained{H4941} not to drink{H8354} of the cup{H3563} shall assuredly{H8354} drink;{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}

For I have sworn{H7650} by myself, saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that Bozrah{H1224} shall become an astonishment,{H8047} a reproach,{H2781} a waste,{H2721} and a curse;{H7045} and all the cities{H5892} thereof shall be perpetual{H5769} wastes.{H2723}

I have heard{H8085} tidings{H8052} from Jehovah,{H3068} and an ambassador{H6735} is sent{H7971} among the nations,{H1471} [saying], Gather yourselves together,{H6908} and come{H935} against her, and rise up{H6965} to the battle.{H4421}

For, behold, I have made{H5414} thee small{H6996} among the nations,{H1471} and despised{H959} among men.{H120}

As for thy terribleness,{H8606} the pride{H2087} of thy heart{H3820} hath deceived{H5377} thee, 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} Jehovah.{H3068}

And Edom{H123} shall become an astonishment:{H8047} every one that passeth{H5674} by it shall be astonished,{H8074} and shall hiss{H8319} at all the plagues{H4347} thereof.

As in the overthrow{H4114} of Sodom{H5467} and Gomorrah{H6017} and the neighbor{H7934} cities thereof, saith{H559} Jehovah,{H3068} no man{H376} shall dwell{H3427} there, neither shall any son{H1121} of man{H120} sojourn{H1481} therein.

Behold, he shall come up{H5927} like a lion{H738} from the pride{H1347} of the Jordan{H3383} against the strong{H386} habitation:{H5116} for I will suddenly{H7280} make them run away{H7323} from it; and whoso is chosen,{H977} him will I appoint{H6485} over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time?{H3259} and who is the shepherd{H7462} that will stand{H5975} before{H6440} me?

Therefore hear{H8085} ye the counsel{H6098} of Jehovah,{H3068} that he hath taken{H3289} against Edom;{H123} and his purposes,{H4284} that he hath purposed{H2803} against the inhabitants{H3427} of Teman:{H8487} Surely they shall drag them away,{H5498} [even] the little{H6810} ones of the flock;{H6629} surely he shall make their habitation{H5116} desolate{H8074} over them.

The earth{H776} trembleth{H7493} at the noise{H6963} of their fall;{H5307} there is a cry,{H6818} the noise{H6963} whereof is heard{H8085} in the Red{H5488} Sea.{H3220}

Behold, he shall come up{H5927} and fly{H1675} as the eagle,{H5404} and spread{H6566} out his wings{H3671} against Bozrah:{H1224} and the heart{H3820} of the mighty men{H1368} of Edom{H123} at that day{H3117} shall be as the heart{H3820} of a woman{H802} in her pangs.{H6887}

Of Damascus.{H1834} Hamath{H2574} is confounded,{H954} and Arpad;{H774} for they have heard{H8085} evil{H7451} tidings,{H8052} they are melted{H4127} away: there is sorrow{H1674} on the sea;{H3220} it cannot{H3201} be quiet.{H8252}

Damascus{H1834} is waxed feeble,{H7503} she turneth{H6437} herself to flee,{H5127} and trembling{H7374} hath seized{H2388} on her: anguish{H6869} and sorrows{H2256} have taken{H270} hold of her, as of a woman in travail.{H3205}

How is the city{H5892} of praise{H8416} not forsaken,{H5800} the city{H7151} of my joy?{H4885}

Therefore her young men{H970} shall fall{H5307} in her streets,{H7339} and all the men{H582} of war{H4421} shall be brought to silence{H1826} in that day,{H3117} saith{H5002} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts.{H6635}

And I will kindle{H3341} a fire{H784} in the wall{H2346} of Damascus,{H1834} and it shall devour{H398} the palaces{H759} of Ben-hadad.{H1130}

Of Kedar,{H6938} and of the kingdoms{H4467} of Hazor,{H2674} which Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} smote.{H5221} Thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Arise{H6965} ye, go up{H5927} to Kedar,{H6938} and destroy{H7703} the children{H1121} of the east.{H6924}

Their tents{H168} and their flocks{H6629} shall they take;{H5375} they shall carry{H5375} away for themselves their curtains,{H3407} and all their vessels,{H3627} and their camels;{H1581} and they shall cry{H7121} unto them, Terror{H4032} on every side!{H5439}

Flee{H5127} ye, wander{H5110} far off,{H3966} dwell{H3427} in the depths,{H6009} O ye inhabitants{H3427} of Hazor,{H2674} saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} for Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} hath taken counsel{H6098} against you, and hath conceived{H2803} a purpose{H4284} against you.

Arise,{H6965} get you up{H5927} unto a nation{H1471} that is at ease,{H7961} that dwelleth{H3427} without care,{H983} saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} that have neither gates{H1817} nor bars,{H1280} that dwell{H7931} alone.{H910}

And their camels{H1581} shall be a booty,{H957} and the multitude{H1995} of their cattle{H4735} a spoil:{H7998} and I will scatter{H2219} unto all winds{H7307} them that have the corners{H6285} [of their hair]{H7112} cut off; and I will bring{H935} their calamity{H343} from every side{H5676} of them, saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

And Hazor{H2674} shall be a dwelling-place{H4583} of jackals,{H8577} a desolation{H8077} for{H5704} ever:{H5769} no man{H376} shall dwell{H3427} there, neither shall any son{H1121} of man{H120} sojourn{H1481} therein.

The word{H1697} of Jehovah{H3068} that came to Jeremiah{H3414} the prophet{H5030} concerning Elam,{H5867} in the beginning{H7225} of the reign{H4438} of Zedekiah{H6667} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} saying,{H559}

Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts:{H6635} Behold, I will break{H7665} the bow{H7198} of Elam,{H5867} the chief{H7225} of their might.{H1369}

And upon Elam{H5867} will I bring{H935} the four{H702} winds{H7307} from the four{H702} 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} shall not come.{H935}

And I will cause Elam{H5867} to be dismayed{H2865} before{H6440} their enemies,{H341} and before{H6440} them that seek{H1245} their life;{H5315} and I will bring{H935} evil{H7451} upon them, even my fierce{H2740} anger,{H639} saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} and I will send{H7971} the sword{H2719} after{H310} them, till I have consumed{H3615} them;

and I will set{H7760} my throne{H3678} in Elam,{H5867} and will destroy{H6} from thence king{H4428} and princes,{H8269} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

But it shall come to pass in the latter{H319} days,{H3117} that I will bring back{H7725} the captivity{H7622} of Elam,{H5867} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}
