Concerning the Ammonites,H5984 thusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 Has IsraelH3478 noH369 sons?H1121 has he noH369 heir?H3423 whyH4069 then does their kingH4428 inheritH3423 Gad,H1410 and his peopleH5971 dwellH3427 in his cities?H5892
2
Therefore,H5921 H3651 behold,H2009 the daysH3117 come,H935 saidH559 the LORD,H3068 that I will cause an alarmH8643 of warH4421 to be heardH8085 in RabbahH7237 of the Ammonites;H5984 and it shall be a desolateH8077 heap,H8510 and her daughtersH1323 shall be burnedH3341 with fire:H784 then shall IsraelH3478 be heirH3423 to them that were his heirs,H3423 saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
3
Howl,H3213 O Heshbon,H2809 for AiH5857 is spoiled:H7703 cry,H6817 you daughtersH1323 of Rabbah,H7237 girdH2296 you with sackcloth;H8242 lament,H5594 and runH7751 to and froH7751 by the hedges;H1448 for their kingH4428 shall goH3212 into captivity,H1473 and his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 together.
4
WhyH4100 gloryH1984 you in the valleys,H6010 your flowingH2100 valley,H6010 O backslidingH7728 daughter?H1323 that trustedH982 in her treasures,H214 saying, WhoH4310 shall comeH935 to me?
5
Behold,H2005 I will bringH935 a fearH6343 on you, saidH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069 of hosts,H6635 from allH3605 those that be aboutH5439 you; and you shall be drivenH5080 out every manH376 rightH6440 forth;H6440 and noneH369 shall gatherH6908 up him that wanders.H5074
6
And afterwardH310 H3651 I will bringH7725 againH7725 the captivityH7622 of the childrenH1121 of Ammon,H5983 saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
7
Concerning Edom,H123 thusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts;H6635 Is wisdomH2451 noH369 moreH5750 in Teman?H8487 is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudent?H995 is their wisdomH2451 vanished?H5628
8
FleeH5127 you, turnH6437 back,H6437 dwellH3427 deep,H6009 O inhabitantsH3427 of Dedan;H1719 for I will bringH935 the calamityH343 of EsauH6215 on him, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 him.
9
IfH518 grape gatherersH1219 comeH935 to you, would they not leaveH7604 some gleaningH5955 grapes? ifH518 thievesH1590 by night,H3915 they will destroyH7843 till they have enough.H1767
10
But I have made EsauH6215 bore,H2834 I have uncoveredH1540 his secretH4565 places, and he shall not be ableH3201 to hideH2247 himself: his seedH2233 is spoiled,H7703 and his brothers,H251 and his neighbors,H7934 and he is not.
11
LeaveH5800 your fatherlessH3490 children, I will preserveH2421 them alive;H2421 and let your widowsH490 trustH982 in me.
12
For thusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 Behold,H2009 they whoseH834 judgmentH4941 was not to drinkH8354 of the cupH3563 have assuredlyH8354 drunken;H7937 and are you he that shall altogether go unpunished?H5352 you shall not go unpunished,H5352 but you shall surelyH3588 drinkH8354 of it.
13
For I have swornH7650 by myself, saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 that BozrahH1224 shall becomeH1961 a desolation,H8047 a reproach,H2781 a waste,H2721 and a curse;H7045 and allH3605 the citiesH5892 thereof shall be perpetualH5769 wastes.H2723
14
I have heardH8085 a rumorH8052 from the LORD,H3068 and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 to the heathen,H1471 saying, GatherH6908 you together, and comeH935 againstH5921 her, and riseH6965 up to the battle.H4421
15
For, see,H2009 I will makeH5414 you smallH6996 among the heathen,H1471 and despisedH959 among men.H120
16
Your terriblenessH8606 has deceivedH5377 you, and the prideH2087 of your heart,H3820 O you that dwellH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rock,H5553 that holdH8610 the heightH4791 of the hill:H1389 thoughH3588 you should make your nestH7064 as highH1361 as the eagle,H5404 I will bringH3381 you downH3381 from there,H8033 saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
17
Also EdomH123 shall be a desolation:H8047 everyH3605 one that goesH5674 by it shall be astonished,H8074 and shall hissH8319 atH5921 allH3605 the plaguesH4347 thereof.
18
As in the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighborH7934 citiesH5892 thereof, saidH559 the LORD,H3068 noH3808 manH376 shall abideH3427 there,H8033 neitherH3808 shall a sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 in it.
19
Behold,H2009 he shall comeH5927 up like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 againstH413 the habitationH5116 of the strong:H386 but I will suddenlyH7280 make him runH7323 away from her: and whoH4310 is a chosenH970 man, that I may appointH6485 overH413 her? for whoH4310 is likeH3644 me? and whoH4310 will appointH3259 me the time? and whoH4310 is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me?
20
ThereforeH5921 H3651 hearH8085 the counselH6098 of the LORD,H3068 that he has takenH3289 againstH413 Edom;H123 and his purposes,H4284 that he has purposedH2803 againstH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of Teman:H8487 SurelyH518 H3808 the leastH6810 of the flockH6629 shall drawH5498 them out: surelyH518 H3808 he shall make their habitationsH5116 desolateH8074 with them.
21
The earthH776 is movedH7493 at the noiseH6963 of their fall,H5307 at the cryH6818 the noiseH6963 thereof was heardH8085 in the RedH5488 sea.H3220
22
Behold,H2009 he shall comeH5927 up and flyH1675 as the eagle,H5404 and spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 overH5921 Bozrah:H1224 and at that dayH3117 shall the heartH3820 of the mightyH1368 men of EdomH123 be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangs.H6887
23
Concerning Damascus.H1834 HamathH2574 is confounded,H954 and Arpad:H774 for they have heardH8085 evilH7451 tidings:H8052 they are fainthearted;H4127 there is sorrowH1674 on the sea;H3220 it cannotH3808 H3201 be quiet.H8252
24
DamascusH1834 is waxed feeble,H7503 and turnsH6437 herself to flee,H5127 and fearH7374 has seizedH2388 on her: anguishH6869 and sorrowsH2256 have takenH270 her, as a woman in travail.H3205
25
HowH349 is the cityH5892 of praiseH8416 not left,H5800 the cityH7151 of my joy!H4885
26
ThereforeH5921 H3651 her youngH970 men shall fallH5307 in her streets,H7339 and allH3605 the menH582 of warH4421 shall be cutH1826 off in that day,H3117 saidH5002 the LORDH3068 of hosts.H6635
27
And I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the wallH2346 of Damascus,H1834 and it shall consumeH398 the palacesH759 of Benhadad.H1130
28
Concerning Kedar,H6938 and concerning the kingdomsH4467 of Hazor,H2674 whichH834 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 shall smite,H5221 thusH3541 saidH559 the LORD;H3068 AriseH6965 you, goH5927 up to Kedar,H6938 and spoilH7703 the menH1121 of the east.H6924
29
Their tentsH168 and their flocksH6629 shall they takeH3947 away: they shall takeH5375 to themselvesH1992 their curtains,H3407 and allH3605 their vessels,H3627 and their camels;H1581 and they shall cryH7121 to them, FearH4032 is on everyH5437 side.H5439
30
Flee,H5127 getH5110 you farH3966 off, dwellH3427 deep,H6009 O you inhabitantsH3427 of Hazor,H2674 saidH5002 the LORD;H3068 for NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 has taken counselH6098 againstH5921 you, and has conceivedH2803 a purposeH4284 againstH5921 you.
31
Arise,H6965 getH5927 you up to the wealthyH7961 nation,H1471 that dwellsH3427 without care,H983 saidH5002 the LORD,H3068 which have neitherH3808 gatesH1817 norH3808 bars,H1280 which dwellH7931 alone.H909
32
And their camelsH1581 shall be a booty,H957 and the multitudeH527 of their cattleH4735 a spoil:H7998 and I will scatterH2219 into allH3605 windsH7307 them that are in the utmostH7112 corners;H6285 and I will bringH935 their calamityH343 from allH3605 sidesH5676 thereof, saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
33
And HazorH2674 shall be a dwellingH4583 for dragons,H8577 and a desolationH8077 for ever:H5769 there shall noH3808 manH376 abideH3427 there,H8033 norH3808 any sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 in it.
34
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that cameH1961 to JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 againstH413 ElamH5867 in the beginningH7225 of the reignH4438 of ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of Judah,H3063 saying,H559
35
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 of hosts;H6635 Behold,H2005 I will breakH7665 the bowH7198 of Elam,H5867 the chiefH7225 of their might.H1369
36
And on ElamH5867 will I bringH935 the fourH702 windsH7307 from the fourH702 quartersH7098 of heaven,H8064 and will scatterH2219 them toward allH3605 thoseH428 winds;H7307 and there shall be noH3808 nationH1471 whereH834 H8033 the outcastsH5080 of ElamH5867 shall not come.H935
37
For I will cause ElamH5867 to be dismayedH2865 beforeH6440 their enemies,H341 and beforeH6440 them that seekH1245 their life:H5315 and I will bringH935 evilH7451 on them, evenH853 my fierceH2740 anger,H639 saidH5002 the LORD;H3068 and I will sendH7971 the swordH2719 afterH310 them, tillH5704 I have consumedH3615 them:
38
And I will setH7760 my throneH3678 in Elam,H5867 and will destroyH6 from thereH8033 the kingH4428 and the princes,H8269 saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
39
But it shall comeH1961 to pass in the latterH319 days,H3117 that I will bringH7725 againH7725 the captivityH7622 of Elam,H5867 saidH5002 the LORD.H3068
