Jeremiah 49:7-22

7Concerning EdomH123, this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 saysH559:

“Is there noH369 longerH5750 wisdomH2451 in TemanH8487?Has counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995?Has their wisdomH2451 decayedH5628?8TurnH6437 and runH5127!LieH3427 lowH6009, O dwellersH3427 of DedanH1719,forH3588 I will bringH935 disasterH343 onH5921 EsauH6215at the timeH6256 I punish himH6485.

9IfH518 grape gatherersH1219 cameH935 to you,would they notH3808 leaveH7604 some gleaningsH5955 H518?Were thievesH1590 to come in the nightH3915,would they not stealH7843 only what they wantedH1767?10ButH3588 IH589 will strip EsauH6215 bareH2834 ;I will uncoverH1540 his hiding placesH4565,and he will be unableH3808 H3201 to conceal himselfH2247.His descendantsH2233 will be destroyedH7703along with his relativesH251 and neighborsH7934,and he will be no moreH369.

11AbandonH5800 your orphansH3490; IH589 will preserve their livesH2421.Let your widowsH490 trustH982 in MeH5921.”

12ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559: “IfH2009 those whoH834 do notH369 deserveH4941 to drinkH8354 the cupH3563 must drink itH8354, can youH859 H1931 possibly remain unpunishedH5352? You will notH3808 go unpunishedH5352, forH3588 you must drink it tooH8354. 13ForH3588 by Myself I have swornH7650, declaresH5002 the LORDH3068, thatH3588 BozrahH1224 will becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, a disgraceH2781, a ruinH2721, and a curseH7045, and allH3605 her citiesH5892 will beH1961 in ruinsH2723 foreverH5769.”

14I have heardH8085 H854 a messageH8052 from the LORDH3068;an envoyH6735 has been sentH7971 to the nationsH1471:“Assemble yourselvesH6908 to marchH935 against herH5921!Rise upH6965 for battleH4421!”

15“ForH3588 beholdH2009, I will make youH5414 smallH6996 among nationsH1471,despisedH959 among menH120.16The terror you causeH8606and the pride of yourH2087 heartH3820have deceivedH5377 youH853,O dwellersH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rocksH5553,1O occupiersH8610 of the mountainH1389 summitH4791.ThoughH3588 you elevateH1361 your nestH7064 like the eagleH5404,even from thereH8033 I will bring you downH3381,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068.17“EdomH123 will becomeH1961 an object of horrorH8047.AllH3605 who passH5674 byH5921 will be appalledH8074and will scoffH8319 atH5921 allH3605 her woundsH4347.18As SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 were overthrownH4114along with their neighborsH7934,”saysH559 the LORDH3068,“noH3808 oneH376 will dwellH3427 thereH8033;noH3808 manH1121 H120 will abideH1481 there.19BeholdH2009, one will come upH5927 like a lionH738from the thicketsH1347 of the JordanH3383 toH413 the watered pastureH5116 H386.ForH3588 in an instantH7280 I will chaseH7323 Edom fromH5921 her land.WhoH4310 is the chosen oneH977 I will appointH6485 for thisH413?ForH3588 whoH4310 is like MeH3644, and whoH4310 can challenge MeH3259?WhatH4310 H2088 shepherdH7462 can standH5975 against MeH6440?”

20ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 the plansH6098thatH834 the LORDH3068 has drawn upH3289 againstH413 EdomH123and the strategiesH4284 He has devisedH2803againstH413 the peopleH3427 of TemanH8487:SurelyH518 the little onesH6810 of the flockH6629 will be dragged awayH5498;certainlyH518 their pastureH5116 will be made desolateH8074 because of themH5921.221At the soundH6963 of their fallH5307 the earthH776 will quakeH7493;their cryH6818 will resoundH8085 H6963 to the RedH5488 SeaH3220.322LookH2009! An eagleH5404 will soarH5927 and swoop downH1675,spreadingH6566 its wingsH3671 overH5921 BozrahH1224.In thatH1931 dayH3117 the heartsH3820 of Edom’sH123 mighty menH1368will beH1961 like the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in laborH6887.
