Jeremiah 49:7-22

7Concerning 1EdomH112. ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 saysH559: “IsH369 thereH369 noH369 longerH5750 any 2wisdomH2451 in 3TemanH8487? Has good adviceH6098 beenH6 lostH6 by the prudentH995? Has their wisdomH2451 decayedH5628?8FleeH5127 away, turnH6437 backH6437, dwellH3427 inH6009 theH6009 depthsH6009, You inhabitantsH3427 of 4DedanH1719, For I 5will bringH935 the 6disasterH343 of EsauH6215 upon him At the timeH6256 I 7punishH6485 him.98IfH518 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 9strippedH2834 EsauH6215 bareH2834, I have uncoveredH1540 his hidingH4565 placesH4565 So that he will not beH3201 ableH3201 to concealH2247 himself; His 10offspringH2233 have been destroyedH7703 along with his 11brothersH251 And his neighborsH7934, and 12he noH369 longer existsH369.11LeaveH5800 your 1314orphansH3490 behindH5800, I will keepH2421 them aliveH2421; And let your 15widowsH490 trustH982 in Me.”

12For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, those 16whoH834 were not sentencedH4941 to drinkH8354 the 17cupH3563 will certainlyH8354 drinkH8354 it, so are you the oneH1931 who will be heldH5352 18completelyH5352 blamelessH5352? You will not be heldH5352 blamelessH5352, but you will certainlyH8354 drinkH8354 it. 13For I have 19swornH7650 by Myself,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “that 20BozrahH1224 will becomeH1961 an 21objectH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047, a disgraceH2781, a wastelandH2721, and a curseH7045; and allH3605 its citiesH5892 will becomeH1961 permanentH5769 ruinsH2723.”

14I have 22heardH8085 a messageH8052 from the LordH3068, And a 23messengerH6735 is being sentH7971 among the nationsH1471, saying, “24GatherH6908 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 25the 26rockH5553, Who occupyH8610 the heightH4791 of the hillH1389. ThoughH3588 you makeH1361 your nestH7064 as 27highH1361 as an eagle’sH5404, I will 28bringH3381 you downH3381 from thereH8033,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

17“EdomH112 will becomeH1961 an 29objectH8047 ofH8047 horrorH8047; everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 by it will beH8074 appalledH8074 and will 3031hissH8319 at allH3605 its woundsH4347. 18Like the 32overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 with its neighborsH7934,” saysH559 the LordH3068, “33noH3808 oneH376 will liveH3427 thereH8033, norH3808 will 34anyoneH1121 of mankindH120 resideH1481 in it. 1935BeholdH2009, one will comeH5927 upH5927 like a lionH743 from the 36thicketH1347 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 37chosenH977. For whoH4310 is 38likeH3644 Me, and whoH4310 will summonH3259 Me into court? And whoH4310 thenH2088 is the shepherdH7462 39whoH834 can standH5975 againstH6440 Me?”

20ThereforeH3651 hearH8085 the 40planH6098 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 41desolateH8074 becauseH5921 of them. 21The 42earthH776 has quakedH7493 at the noiseH6963 of their downfallH5307. There is an outcryH6818! The noiseH6963 of it has been heardH8085 at the 43RedH5488 SeaH3220. 22BeholdH2009, 44He will mountH5927 upH5927 and 45swoopH1675 like an eagleH5404, and spreadH6566 outH6566 His wingsH3671 46againstH5921 BozrahH1224; and the 47heartsH3820 of the warriorsH1368 of EdomH112 on that dayH3117 will be like the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in laborH6887.
