Jeremiah 49:1-22

1Concerning the sonsH1121 of 1AmmonH5983. ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “Does IsraelH3478 haveH369 noH369 sonsH1121? OrH518 hasH369 he noH369 heirsH3423? WhyH4069 then has 2MalcamH4445 takenH3423 possessionH3423 of GadH1410, And his peopleH5971 settledH3427 in its citiesH5892?2ThereforeH3651 beholdH2009, the daysH3117 are comingH935,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “When I will cause an alarmH8643 of 3warH4421 to be heardH8085 AgainstH413 4RabbahH7237 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983; And it will becomeH1961 a desolateH8077 heapH8510, And her 5townsH1323 will be setH3341 on fireH784. Then IsraelH3478 will takeH3423 6possessionH3423 of his possessorsH3423,” SaysH559 the LordH3068.3“WailH3213, 7HeshbonH2809, for 8AiH5857 has been destroyedH7703! CryH6817 outH6817, daughtersH1323 of RabbahH7237, 9PutH2296 onH2296 sackclothH8242 and mournH5594, And moveH7751 aboutH7751 inside the wallsH1448; For 10MalcamH4445 will 11goH1980 into exileH1473 TogetherH3164 with his priestsH3548 and his leadersH8269.4HowH4100 you 12boastH1984 about the valleysH6010! Your valleyH6010 is flowingH2100 away, You 13backslidingH7728 daughterH1323 Who trustsH982 in her 14treasuresH214, saying, ‘15WhoH4310 can comeH935 againstH413 me?’5BeholdH2009, I am going to bringH935 16terrorH6343 upon you,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH136 17GodH3068 of armiesH6635, “From allH3605 directions aroundH5439 you; And you will be 18drivenH5080 awayH5080 19oneH376 afterH6440 another, With noH369 oneH369 to gatherH6908 the 20fugitivesH5074 together.6But afterwardH310H3651 I will 21restoreH7725 The fortunesH7622 of the sonsH1121 of AmmonH5983,” DeclaresH5002 the LordH3068.

7Concerning 22EdomH112. ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “IsH369 thereH369 noH369 longerH5750 any 23wisdomH2451 in 24TemanH8487? Has good adviceH6098 beenH6 lostH6 by the prudentH995? Has their wisdomH2451 decayedH5628?8FleeH5127 away, turnH6437 backH6437, dwellH3427 inH6009 theH6009 depthsH6009, You inhabitantsH3427 of 25DedanH1719, For I 26will bringH935 the 27disasterH343 of EsauH6215 upon him At the timeH6256 I 28punishH6485 him.929IfH518 grapeH1219 pickersH1219 cameH935 to you, Would they not leaveH7604 gleaningsH5955? IfH518 thievesH1590 came by nightH3915, They would destroyH7843 only whatH1767 wasH1767 sufficientH1767 for them.10But I have 30strippedH2834 EsauH6215 bareH2834, I have uncoveredH1540 his hidingH4565 placesH4565 So that he will not beH3201 ableH3201 to concealH2247 himself; His 31offspringH2233 have been destroyedH7703 along with his 32brothersH251 And his neighborsH7934, and 33he noH369 longer existsH369.11LeaveH5800 your 3435orphansH3490 behindH5800, I will keepH2421 them aliveH2421; And let your 36widowsH490 trustH982 in Me.”

12For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, those 37whoH834 were not sentencedH4941 to drinkH8354 the 38cupH3563 will certainlyH8354 drinkH8354 it, so are you the oneH1931 who will be heldH5352 39completelyH5352 blamelessH5352? You will not be heldH5352 blamelessH5352, but you will certainlyH8354 drinkH8354 it. 13For I have 40swornH7650 by Myself,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “that 41BozrahH1224 will becomeH1961 an 42objectH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047, a disgraceH2781, a wastelandH2721, and a curseH7045; and allH3605 its citiesH5892 will becomeH1961 permanentH5769 ruinsH2723.”

14I have 43heardH8085 a messageH8052 from the LordH3068, And a 44messengerH6735 is being sentH7971 among the nationsH1471, saying, “45GatherH6908 yourselves together and comeH935 againstH5921 her, And riseH6965 upH6965 for battleH4421!”15“For beholdH2009, I have madeH5414 you smallH6996 among the nationsH1471, DespisedH959 among peopleH120.16As for the terrorH8606 you causeH8606, The arroganceH2087 of your heartH3820 has deceivedH5378 you, You who liveH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of 46the 47rockH5553, Who occupyH8610 the heightH4791 of the hillH1389. ThoughH3588 you makeH1361 your nestH7064 as 48highH1361 as an eagle’sH5404, I will 49bringH3381 you downH3381 from thereH8033,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

17“EdomH112 will becomeH1961 an 50objectH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047; everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 by it will beH8074 appalledH8074 and will 5152hissH8319 at allH3605 its woundsH4347. 18Like the 53overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 with its neighborsH7934,” saysH559 the LordH3068, “54noH3808 oneH376 will liveH3427 thereH8033, norH3808 will 55anyoneH1121 of mankindH120 resideH1481 in it. 1956BeholdH2009, one will comeH5927 upH5927 like a lionH743 from the 57thicketH1347 of the JordanH3383 to a perenniallyH386 watered pastureH5116; for in an instantH7280 I will chaseH7323 him awayH7323 from it, and I will appointH6485 overH413 it whoeverH4310 is 58chosenH977. For whoH4310 is 59likeH3644 Me, and whoH4310 will summonH3259 Me into court? And whoH4310 thenH2088 is the shepherdH7462 60whoH834 can standH5975 againstH6440 Me?”

20ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 the 61planH6098 of the LordH3068 whichH834 He has plannedH3289 againstH413 EdomH112, and His purposesH4284 whichH834 He hasH2803 inH2803 mindH2803 againstH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of TemanH8487: they will certainlyH518H3808 dragH5498 them offH5498, even the littleH6810 onesH6810 of the flockH6629; He will certainlyH518H3808 makeH8074 their pastureH5116 62desolateH8074 becauseH5921 of them. 21The 63earthH776 has quakedH7493 at the noiseH6963 of their downfallH5307. There is an outcryH6818! The noiseH6963 of it has been heardH8085 at the 64RedH5488 SeaH3220. 22BeholdH2009, 65He will mountH5927 upH5927 and 66swoopH1675 like an eagleH5404, and spreadH6566 outH6566 His wingsH3671 67againstH5921 BozrahH1224; and the 68heartsH3820 of the warriorsH1368 of EdomH112 on that dayH3117 will be like the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in laborH6887.
