Concerning the Ammonites{H1121}{H5983}, thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Hath Israel{H3478} no sons{H1121}? hath he no heir{H3423}{(H8802)}? why then doth their king{H4428} inherit{H3423}{(H8804)} Gad{H1410}, and his people{H5971} dwell{H3427}{(H8804)} in his cities{H5892}?

Therefore, behold, the days{H3117} come{H935}{(H8802)}, saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, that I will cause an alarm{H8643} of war{H4421} to be heard{H8085}{(H8689)} 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}{(H8799)} with fire{H784}: then shall Israel{H3478} be heir{H3423}{(H8804)} unto them that were his heirs{H3423}{(H8802)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Howl{H3213}{(H8685)}, O Heshbon{H2809}, for Ai{H5857} is spoiled{H7703}{(H8795)}: cry{H6817}{(H8798)}, ye daughters{H1323} of Rabbah{H7237}, gird{H2296}{(H8798)} you with sackcloth{H8242}; lament{H5594}{(H8798)}, and run to and fro{H7751}{(H8708)} by the hedges{H1448}; for their king{H4428} shall go{H3212}{(H8799)} into captivity{H1473}, and his priests{H3548} and his princes{H8269} together{H3162}.

Wherefore gloriest{H1984}{(H8691)} thou in the valleys{H6010}, thy flowing{H2100}{(H8802)} valley{H6010}, O backsliding{H7728} daughter{H1323}? that trusted{H982}{(H8802)} in her treasures{H214}, saying, Who shall come{H935}{(H8799)} unto me?

Behold, I will bring{H935}{(H8688)} a fear{H6343} upon thee, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the Lord{H136} GOD{H3069} of hosts{H6635}, from all those that be about{H5439} thee; and ye shall be driven out{H5080}{(H8738)} every man{H376} right forth{H6440}; and none shall gather up{H6908}{(H8764)} him that wandereth{H5074}{(H8802)}.

And afterward{H310} I will bring again{H7725}{(H8686)} the captivity{H7622} of the children{H1121} of Ammon{H5983}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Concerning Edom{H123}, thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}; Is wisdom{H2451} no more in Teman{H8487}? is counsel{H6098} perished{H6}{(H8804)} from the prudent{H995}{(H8801)}? is their wisdom{H2451} vanished{H5628}{(H8738)}?

Flee{H5127}{(H8798)} ye, turn back{H6437}{(H8717)}, dwell{H3427}{(H8800)} deep{H6009}{(H8689)}, O inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Dedan{H1719}; for I will bring{H935}{(H8689)} the calamity{H343} of Esau{H6215} upon him, the time{H6256} that I will visit{H6485}{(H8804)} him.

If grapegatherers{H1219}{(H8802)} come{H935}{(H8804)} to thee, would they not leave{H7604}{(H8686)} some gleaning grapes{H5955}? if thieves{H1590} by night{H3915}, they will destroy{H7843}{(H8689)} till they have enough{H1767}.

But I have made Esau{H6215} bare{H2834}{(H8804)}, I have uncovered{H1540}{(H8765)} his secret places{H4565}, and he shall not be able{H3201}{(H8799)} to hide{H2247}{(H8736)} himself: his seed{H2233} is spoiled{H7703}{(H8795)}, and his brethren{H251}, and his neighbours{H7934}, and he is not.

Leave{H5800}{(H8798)} thy fatherless children{H3490}, I will preserve them alive{H2421}{(H8762)}; and let thy widows{H490} trust{H982}{(H8799)} in me.

For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Behold, they whose judgment{H4941} was not to drink{H8354}{(H8800)} of the cup{H3563} have assuredly{H8354}{(H8800)} drunken{H8354}{(H8799)}; and art thou he that shall altogether{H5352}{(H8800)} go unpunished{H5352}{(H8735)}? thou shalt not go unpunished{H5352}{(H8735)}, but thou shalt surely{H8354}{(H8800)} drink{H8354}{(H8799)} of it.

For I have sworn{H7650}{(H8738)} by myself, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} 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}.

I have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} a rumour{H8052} from the LORD{H3068}, and an ambassador{H6735} is sent{H7971}{(H8803)} unto the heathen{H1471}, saying, Gather ye together{H6908}{(H8690)}, and come{H935}{(H8798)} against her, and rise up{H6965}{(H8798)} to the battle{H4421}.

For, lo, I will make{H5414}{(H8804)} thee small{H6996} among the heathen{H1471}, and despised{H959}{(H8803)} among men{H120}.

Thy terribleness{H8606} hath deceived{H5377}{(H8689)} thee, and the pride{H2087} of thine heart{H3820}, O thou that dwellest{H7931}{(H8802)} in the clefts{H2288} of the rock{H5553}, that holdest{H8610}{(H8802)} the height{H4791} of the hill{H1389}: though thou shouldest make thy nest{H7064} as high{H1361}{(H8686)} as the eagle{H5404}, I will bring thee down{H3381}{(H8686)} from thence, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Also Edom{H123} shall be a desolation{H8047}: every one that goeth{H5674}{(H8802)} by it shall be astonished{H8074}{(H8799)}, and shall hiss{H8319}{(H8799)} at all the plagues{H4347} thereof.

As in the overthrow{H4114} of Sodom{H5467} and Gomorrah{H6017} and the neighbour{H7934} cities thereof, saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, no man{H376} shall abide{H3427}{(H8799)} there, neither shall a son{H1121} of man{H120} dwell{H1481}{(H8799)} in it.

Behold, he shall come up{H5927}{(H8799)} like a lion{H738} from the swelling{H1347} of Jordan{H3383} against the habitation{H5116} of the strong{H386}: but I will suddenly{H7280}{(H8686)} make him run away{H7323}{(H8686)} from her: and who is a chosen{H977}{(H8803)} man, that I may appoint{H6485}{(H8799)} over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time{H3259}{(H8686)}? and who is that shepherd{H7462}{(H8802)} that will stand{H5975}{(H8799)} before{H6440} me?

Therefore hear{H8085}{(H8798)} the counsel{H6098} of the LORD{H3068}, that he hath taken{H3289}{(H8804)} against Edom{H123}; and his purposes{H4284}, that he hath purposed{H2803}{(H8804)} against the inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Teman{H8487}: Surely the least{H6810} of the flock{H6629} shall draw them out{H5498}{(H8799)}: surely he shall make their habitations{H5116} desolate{H8074}{(H8686)} with them.

The earth{H776} is moved{H7493}{(H8804)} at the noise{H6963} of their fall{H5307}{(H8800)}, at the cry{H6818} the noise{H6963} thereof was heard{H8085}{(H8738)} in the Red{H5488} sea{H3220}.

Behold, he shall come up{H5927}{(H8799)} and fly{H1675}{(H8799)} as the eagle{H5404}, and spread{H6566}{(H8799)} his wings{H3671} over Bozrah{H1224}: and at that day{H3117} shall the heart{H3820} of the mighty men{H1368} of Edom{H123} be as the heart{H3820} of a woman{H802} in her pangs{H6887}{(H8688)}.

Concerning Damascus{H1834}. Hamath{H2574} is confounded{H954}{(H8804)}, and Arpad{H774}: for they have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} evil{H7451} tidings{H8052}: they are fainthearted{H4127}{(H8738)}; there is sorrow{H1674} on the sea{H3220}; it cannot{H3201}{(H8799)} be quiet{H8252}{(H8687)}.

Damascus{H1834} is waxed feeble{H7503}{(H8804)}, and turneth{H6437}{(H8689)} herself to flee{H5127}{(H8800)}, and fear{H7374} hath seized{H2388}{(H8689)} on her: anguish{H6869} and sorrows{H2256} have taken{H270}{(H8804)} her, as a woman in travail{H3205}{(H8802)}.

How is the city{H5892} of praise{H8416} not left{H5800}{(H8795)}, the city{H7151} of my joy{H4885}!

Therefore her young men{H970} shall fall{H5307}{(H8799)} in her streets{H7339}, and all the men{H582} of war{H4421} shall be cut off{H1826}{(H8735)} in that day{H3117}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}.

And I will kindle{H3341}{(H8689)} a fire{H784} in the wall{H2346} of Damascus{H1834}, and it shall consume{H398}{(H8804)} the palaces{H759} of Benhadad{H1130}.

Concerning Kedar{H6938}, and concerning the kingdoms{H4467} of Hazor{H2674}, which Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} shall smite{H5221}{(H8689)}, thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Arise{H6965}{(H8798)} ye, go up{H5927}{(H8798)} to Kedar{H6938}, and spoil{H7703}{(H8798)} the men{H1121} of the east{H6924}.

Their tents{H168} and their flocks{H6629} shall they take away{H3947}{(H8799)}: they shall take{H5375}{(H8799)} to themselves their curtains{H3407}, and all their vessels{H3627}, and their camels{H1581}; and they shall cry{H7121}{(H8804)} unto them, Fear{H4032} is on every side{H5439}.

Flee{H5127}{(H8798)}, get{H5110}{(H8798)} you far off{H3966}, dwell{H3427}{(H8800)} deep{H6009}{(H8689)}, O ye inhabitants{H3427}{(H8802)} of Hazor{H2674}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}; for Nebuchadrezzar{H5019} king{H4428} of Babylon{H894} hath taken counsel{H6098}{H3289}{(H8804)} against you, and hath conceived{H2803}{(H8804)} a purpose{H4284} against you.

Arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, get you up{H5927}{(H8798)} unto the wealthy{H7961} nation{H1471}, that dwelleth{H3427}{(H8802)} without care{H983}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, which have neither gates{H1817} nor bars{H1280}, which dwell{H7931}{(H8799)} 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}{(H8765)} into all winds{H7307} them that are in the utmost{H7112}{(H8803)} corners{H6285}; and I will bring{H935}{(H8686)} their calamity{H343} from all sides{H5676} thereof, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

And Hazor{H2674} shall be a dwelling{H4583} for dragons{H8577}, and a desolation{H8077} for{H5704} ever{H5769}: there shall no man{H376} abide{H3427}{(H8799)} there, nor any son{H1121} of man{H120} dwell{H1481}{(H8799)} in it.

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{H559}{(H8800)},

Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}; Behold, I will break{H7665}{(H8799)} the bow{H7198} of Elam{H5867}, the chief{H7225} of their might{H1369}.

And upon Elam{H5867} will I bring{H935}{(H8689)} the four{H702} winds{H7307} from the four{H702} quarters{H7098} of heaven{H8064}, and will scatter{H2219}{(H8765)} them toward all those winds{H7307}; and there shall be no nation{H1471} whither the outcasts{H5080}{(H8737)} of Elam{H5867}{(H8675)}{H5769} shall not come{H935}{(H8799)}.

For I will cause Elam{H5867} to be dismayed{H2865}{(H8689)} before{H6440} their enemies{H341}{(H8802)}, and before{H6440} them that seek{H1245}{(H8764)} their life{H5315}: and I will bring{H935}{(H8689)} evil{H7451} upon them, even my fierce{H2740} anger{H639}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}; and I will send{H7971}{(H8765)} the sword{H2719} after{H310} them, till I have consumed{H3615}{(H8763)} them:

And I will set{H7760}{(H8804)} my throne{H3678} in Elam{H5867}, and will destroy{H6}{(H8689)} from thence the king{H4428} and the princes{H8269}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

But it shall come to pass in the latter{H319} days{H3117}, that I will bring again{H7725}{(H8686)}{(H8675)}{H7725}{(H8799)} the captivity{H7622}{(H8675)}{H7622} of Elam{H5867}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.
