Jeremiah 49:1-28

1Of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983. ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: Hath IsraelH3478 noH369 sonsH1121? hath he noH369 heirH3423? whyH4069 then doth Malcam possessH3423 GadH1410, and his peopleH5971 dwellH3427 in the citiesH5892 thereof?

2Therefore, beholdH2009, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith the LORDH3068, that I will causeH1961 an alarmH8643 of warH4421 to be heardH8085 againstH413 RabbahH7237 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983; and it shall becomeH1961 a desolateH8077 heapH8510, and herH413 daughtersH1323 shall be burnedH3341 with fireH784: then shall IsraelH3478 possessH3423 them that didH3651 possessH3423 him, saith the LORDH3068.

3HowlH3213, O HeshbonH2809, for AiH5857 is spoiled; cryH6817, ye daughtersH1323 of RabbahH7237, girdH2296 youH3588 with sackclothH8242: lamentH5594, and run to and fro among the fences; for Malcam shall go intoH1323 captivity, his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162.

4Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleysH6010, thy flowingH2100 valleyH6010, O backslidingH7728 daughterH1323? that trustedH982 in herH413 treasuresH214, saying, Who shall comeH935 unto meH413?

5BeholdH2005, I will bringH935 a fearH6343 uponH5921 thee, saith the LordH136, the LORDH136 of hostsH6635, from allH3605 that are roundH5439 aboutH5439 thee; and ye shall be drivenH5080 outH6440 everyH3605 manH376 right forth, and there shall be noneH369 to gatherH6908 upH5921 him that wandereth.

6But afterwardH310 I will bringH7725 againH7725 the captivityH7622 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, saith the LORDH3068.

7Of EdomH123. ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635: Is wisdomH2451 noH369 moreH5750 in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanished?

8FleeH5127 ye, turnH6437 backH6437, dwellH3427 deepH6009, O inhabitantsH3427 of DedanH1719; for I will bringH935 the calamityH343 of EsauH6215 uponH5921 him, the time that I shall visitH6485 him.

9IfH518 grapegatherers cameH935 to thee, would they notH3808 leaveH7604 someH5955 gleaningH5955 grapes? ifH518 thievesH1590 by nightH3915, would they notH3808 destroyH7843 till they had enoughH1767?

10But I have madeH1540 EsauH6215 bareH1540, I have uncoveredH1540 his secretH4565 placesH4565, and he shall notH3808 be ableH3201 to hideH2247 himselfH1540: his seedH2233 is spoiled, and his brethrenH251, and his neighbours, and he is notH3808.

11LeaveH5800 thy fatherlessH3490 childrenH3490, I will preserveH2421 them aliveH2421; and let thy widowsH490 trustH982 in meH5921.

12For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: BeholdH2009, they to whomH834 it pertained notH3808 to drinkH8354 of the cupH3563 shall assuredly drinkH8354; and art thou he that shall altogether goH5352 unpunishedH5352? thou shalt notH3808 goH5352 unpunishedH5352, but thou shalt surelyH3588 drinkH8354.

13For I have swornH7650 by myself, saith the LORDH3068, that BozrahH1224 shall becomeH1961 an astonishment, a reproachH2781, a wasteH2723, and a curseH7045; and allH3605 the citiesH5892 thereof shall be perpetualH5769 wastesH2723.

14I have heardH8085 tidingsH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassador is sentH7971 among the nationsH1471, saying, GatherH6908 yourselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 againstH5921 herH7971, and riseH6965 upH6965 to the battleH4421.

15For, beholdH2009, I have madeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the nationsH1471, and despisedH959 among menH120.

16As for thy terribleness, the prideH2087 of thine heartH3820 hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, that holdest the heightH4791 of the hillH1389: thoughH3588 thou shouldest makeH3588 thy nestH7064 as highH4791 as the eagleH5404, I will bringH3381 thee downH3381 from thence, saith the LORDH3068;

17And EdomH123 shall becomeH1961 an astonishment: everyH3605 one that passeth by it shall he astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319 at allH3605 the plaguesH4347 thereof.

18As in the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORDH3068, noH3808 manH376 shall dwellH3427 there, neitherH3808 shall anyH376 sonH1121 of manH376 sojourn therein.

19BeholdH2009, he shall comeH5927 upH5927 like a lionH738 from the prideH1347 of JordanH3383 againstH5921 the strong habitation: but I will suddenlyH2009 makeH3588 him runH7323 awayH5927 from herH413; and whoso is chosenH977, him will I appointH6485 over herH413: for who is like meH413? and who will appointH6485 meH413 a time? and who is the shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 meH413?

20Therefore hearH8085 ye the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that he hath takenH3427 againstH5921 EdomH123; and his purposesH4284, that he hath purposedH2803 againstH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of TemanH8487: SurelyH518 they shall dragH5498 them away, evenH3808 the littleH6810 onesH6810 of the flockH6629; surelyH518 he shall makeH8074 their habitation desolateH8074 with them.

21The earthH776 trembleth at the noiseH6963 of their fallH5307; there is a cryH6818, the noiseH6963 whereof is heardH8085 in the Red SeaH3220.

22BeholdH2009, he shall comeH1961 upH5927 and flyH1675 as the eagleH5404, and spreadH6566 outH5921 his wingsH3671 againstH5921 BozrahH1224: and the heartH3820 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 of EdomH123 at that dayH3117 shall be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in herH5921 pangs.

23Of DamascusH1834. HamathH2574 is ashamedH954, and ArpadH774; for they have heardH8085 evilH7451 tidingsH8052, they are meltedH4127 awayH4127: there is sorrow on the seaH3220; it cannotH3808 be quietH8252.

24DamascusH1834 is waxed feebleH7503, she turneth herself to fleeH5127, and trembling hath seizedH270 on herH7503: anguishH6869 and sorrows have takenH270 holdH2388 of herH7503, as of a woman in travail.

25HowH349 is the cityH5892 of praiseH8416 notH3808 forsaken, the cityH5892 of my joyH4885?

26Therefore herH3605 youngH970 menH376 shall fallH5307 in herH3605 streetsH7339, and allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421 shall be brought to silence in that dayH3117, saith the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.

27And I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the wallH2346 of DamascusH1834, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of Ben-hadadH1130.

28Of KedarH6938, and of the kingdomsH4467 of HazorH2674, whichH834 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 smoteH5221: ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: AriseH6965 ye, goH5927 upH5927 to KedarH6938, and spoil the childrenH1121 of the eastH6924.
