Jeremiah 49:13-22

13For I have 1swornH7650 by Myself,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “that 2BozrahH1224 will becomeH1961 an 3objectH8047 of horrorH8047, a reproachH2781, a ruinH2721 and a curseH7045; and allH3605 its citiesH5892 will becomeH1961 perpetualH5769 ruinsH2723.”

14I have 4heardH8085 a messageH8052 from the LordH3068, And an 5envoyH6735 is sentH7971 among the nationsH1471, saying, “6GatherH6908 yourselves together and comeH935 againstH5921 her, And riseH6965 up for battleH4421!”15“For beholdH2009, I have madeH5414 you smallH6996 among the nationsH1471, DespisedH959 among menH120.16As for the terrorH8606 of you, The arroganceH2087 of your heartH3820 has deceivedH5378 you, O you who liveH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of 7the 8rockH5553, Who occupyH8610 the heightH4791 of the hillH1389. ThoughH3588 you makeH1361 your nestH7064 as 9highH1361 as an eagle’sH5404, I will 10bringH3381 you downH3381 from thereH8033,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

17“EdomH112 will becomeH1961 an 11objectH8047 of horrorH8047; everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 by it will be horrifiedH8074 and will 12hissH8319 at allH3605 its woundsH4347. 18Like the 13overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 with its neighborsH7934,” saysH559 the LordH3068, “14noH3808 oneH376 will liveH3427 thereH8033, norH3808 will a sonH1121 of manH120 resideH1481 in it. 1915BeholdH2009, one will comeH5927 up like a lionH743 from the 1617thicketsH1347 of the JordanH3383 againstH413 18a perenniallyH386 watered pastureH5116; for in an instantH7280 I will make him runH7323 away from it, and whoeverH4310 is 19chosenH977 I shall appointH6485 overH413 it. For whoH4310 is 20likeH3644 Me, and whoH4310 will summonH3259 Me into court? And whoH4310 thenH2088 is the shepherdH7462 21whoH834 can standH5975 againstH6440 Me?”

20ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 the 22planH6098 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He has plannedH3289 againstH413 EdomH112, and His purposesH4284 whichH834 He has purposedH2803 againstH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of TemanH8487: surelyH518H3808 they will dragH5498 them offH5498, even the littleH6810 onesH6810 of the flockH6629; surelyH518H3808 He will makeH8074 their 23pastureH5116 24desolateH8074 becauseH5921 of them. 21The 25earthH776 has quakedH7493 at the noiseH6963 of their downfallH5307. There is an outcryH6818! The noiseH6963 of it has been heardH8085 at the 26RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220. 22BeholdH2009, 27He will mountH5927 up and 28swoopH1675 like an eagleH5404 and spreadH6566 out His wingsH3671 29againstH5921 BozrahH1224; and the 30heartsH3820 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 of EdomH112 in that dayH3117 will be like the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in laborH6887.
