JER-49:1 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath
Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why [then] doth their king
inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
JER-49:2 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that
I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the
Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters
shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them
that were his heirs, saith the LORD.
JER-49:3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters
of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro
by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, [and] his
priests and his princes together.
JER-49:4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing
valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures,
[saying], Who shall come unto me?
JER-49:5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord
GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be
driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him
that wandereth.
JER-49:6 And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the
children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
JER-49:7 Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; [Is]
wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent?
is their wisdom vanished?
JER-49:8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan;
for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time [that]
I will visit him.
JER-49:9 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave
[some] gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy
till they have enough.
JER-49:10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret
places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is
spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he [is] not.
JER-49:11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve [them]
alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
JER-49:12 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment
[was] not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and [art]
thou he [that] shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go
unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink [of it].
JER-49:13 For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that
Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a
curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
JER-49:14 I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador
is sent unto the heathen, [saying], Gather ye together, and come
against her, and rise up to the battle.
JER-49:15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen,
[and] despised among men.
JER-49:16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, [and] the pride
of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock,
that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make
thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from
thence, saith the LORD.
JER-49:17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth
by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues
thereof.
JER-49:18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the
neighbour [cities] thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide
there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
JER-49:19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling
of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will
suddenly make him run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man,
that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will
appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand
before me?
JER-49:20 Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath
taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed
against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock
shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations
desolate with them.
JER-49:21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the
cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
JER-49:22 Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and
spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of
the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
JER-49:23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad:
for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; [there
is] sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
JER-49:24 Damascus is waxed feeble, [and] turneth herself to
flee, and fear hath seized on [her]: anguish and sorrows have
taken her, as a woman in travail.
JER-49:25 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
JER-49:26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and
all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD
of hosts.
JER-49:27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and
it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
JER-49:28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor,
which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith
the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the
east.
JER-49:29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away:
they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their
vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear
[is] on every side.
JER-49:30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of
Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath
taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against
you.
JER-49:31 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that
dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates
nor bars, [which] dwell alone.
JER-49:32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude
of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them
[that are] in the utmost corners; and I will bring their
calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD.
JER-49:33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, [and] a
desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor [any]
son of man dwell in it.
JER-49:34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet
against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of
Judah, saying,
JER-49:35 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the
bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
JER-49:36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the
four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those
winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam
shall not come.
JER-49:37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their
enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring
evil upon them, [even] my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I
will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
JER-49:38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy
from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.
JER-49:39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, [that] I
will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
