Jeremiah 49:1 Concerning{Or, against} the Ammonites,11215983 thus saith559 the LORD;3068 Hath Israel3478 no sons?1121 hath he no heir?3423 why then doth their king4428{Or, Melcom} inherit3423 Gad,1410 and his people5971 dwell3427 in his cities?58922 Therefore, behold, the days3117 come,935 saith559 the LORD,3068 that I will cause an alarm8643 of war4421 to be heard8085 in Rabbah7237 of the Ammonites;11215983 and it shall be a desolate8077 heap,8510 and her daughters1323 shall be burned3341 with fire:784 then shall Israel3478 be heir3423 unto them that were his heirs,3423 saith5002 the LORD.30683 Howl,3213 O Heshbon,2809 for Ai5857 is spoiled:7703 cry,6817 ye daughters1323 of Rabbah,7237 gird2296 you with sackcloth;8242 lament,5594 and run to and fro7751 by the hedges;1448 for their king4428{Or, Melcom} shall go3212 into captivity,1473and his priests3548 and his princes8269 together.31624 Wherefore gloriest1984 thou in the valleys,6010 thy flowing2100 valley,6010{Or, thy valley floweth away} O backsliding7728 daughter?1323 that trusted982 in her treasures,214saying, Who shall come935 unto me?
5 Behold, I will bring935 a fear6343 upon thee, saith5002 the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts,6635 from all those that be about5439 thee; and ye shall be driven out5080 every man376 right forth;6440 and none shall gather up6908 him that wandereth.50746 And afterward310 I will bring again7725 the captivity7622 of the children1121 of Ammon,5983 saith5002 the LORD.3068
Jeremiah 49:7 Concerning Edom,123 thus saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635Is wisdom2451 no more in Teman?8487 is counsel6098 perished6 from the prudent?995 is their wisdom2451 vanished?56288 Flee5127 ye, turn back,6437{Or, they are turned back} dwell3427 deep,6009 O inhabitants3427 of Dedan;1719 for I will bring935 the calamity343 of Esau6215 upon him, the time6256that I will visit6485 him.
9 If grapegatherers1219 come935 to thee, would they not leave7604some gleaning grapes?5955 if thieves1590 by night,3915 they will destroy7843 till they have enough.1767{Heb. their sufficiency}10 But I have made Esau6215 bare,2834 I have uncovered1540 his secret places,4565 and he shall not be able3201 to hide2247 himself: his seed2233 is spoiled,7703 and his brethren,251 and his neighbours,7934 and he is not.
11 Leave5800 thy fatherless children,3490 I will preserve them alive;2421 and let thy widows490 trust982 in me.
12 For thus saith559 the LORD;3068 Behold, they whose judgment4941was not to drink8354 of the cup3563 have assuredly8354 drunken;8354 and art thou he that shall altogether5352 go unpunished?5352 thou shalt not go unpunished,5352 but thou shalt surely8354 drink8354ofit.13 For I have sworn7650 by myself, saith5002 the LORD,3068 that Bozrah1224 shall become a desolation,8047 a reproach,2781 a waste,2721 and a curse;7045 and all the cities5892 thereof shall be perpetual5769 wastes.272314 I have heard8085 a rumour8052 from the LORD,3068 and an ambassador6735 is sent7971 unto the heathen,1471saying, Gather ye together,6908 and come935 against her, and rise up6965 to the battle.442115 For, lo, I will make5414 thee small6996 among the heathen,1471and despised959 among men.12016 Thy terribleness8606 hath deceived5377 thee, and the pride2087 of thine heart,3820 O thou that dwellest7931 in the clefts2288 of the rock,5553 that holdest8610 the height4791 of the hill:1389 though thou shouldest make thy nest7064 as high1361 as the eagle,5404 I will bring thee down3381 from thence, saith5002 the LORD.306817 Also Edom123 shall be a desolation:8047 every one that goeth5674 by it shall be astonished,8074 and shall hiss8319 at all the plagues4347 thereof.
18 As in the overthrow4114 of Sodom5467 and Gomorrah6017 and the neighbour7934cities thereof, saith559 the LORD,3068 no man376 shall abide3427 there, neither shall a son1121 of man120 dwell1481 in it.
19 Behold, he shall come up5927 like a lion738 from the swelling1347 of Jordan3383 against the habitation5116 of the strong:386 but I will suddenly7280 make him run away7323 from her: and who is a chosen977man,that I may appoint6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me{Or, convent me in judgment} the time?3259 and who is that shepherd7462 that will stand5975 before6440 me?
20 Therefore hear8085 the counsel6098 of the LORD,3068 that he hath taken3289 against Edom;123 and his purposes,4284 that he hath purposed2803 against the inhabitants3427 of Teman:8487 Surely the least6810 of the flock6629 shall draw them out:5498 surely he shall make their habitations5116 desolate8074 with them.
21 The earth776 is moved7493 at the noise6963 of their fall,5307 at the cry6818 the noise6963 thereof was heard8085 in the Red5488 sea.3220{Heb. weedy Sea}22 Behold, he shall come up5927 and fly1675 as the eagle,5404 and spread6566 his wings3671 over Bozrah:1224 and at that day3117 shall the heart3820 of the mighty men1368 of Edom123 be as the heart3820 of a woman802 in her pangs.6887
Jeremiah 49:23 Concerning Damascus.1834 Hamath2574 is confounded,954 and Arpad:774 for they have heard8085 evil7451 tidings:8052 they are fainthearted;4127{Heb. melted}thereis sorrow1674 on the sea;3220{Or, as on the sea} it cannot3201 be quiet.825224 Damascus1834 is waxed feeble,7503and turneth6437 herself to flee,5127 and fear7374 hath seized2388 on her: anguish6869 and sorrows2256 have taken270 her, as a woman in travail.320525 How is the city5892 of praise8416 not left,5800 the city7151 of my joy!488526 Therefore her young men970 shall fall5307 in her streets,7339 and all the men582 of war4421 shall be cut off1826 in that day,3117 saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts.663527 And I will kindle3341 a fire784 in the wall2346 of Damascus,1834 and it shall consume398 the palaces759 of Benhadad.1130
Jeremiah 49:28 Concerning Kedar,6938 and concerning the kingdoms4467 of Hazor,2674 which Nebuchadrezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 shall smite,5221 thus saith559 the LORD;3068 Arise6965 ye, go up5927 to Kedar,6938 and spoil7703 the men1121 of the east.692429 Their tents168 and their flocks6629 shall they take away:3947 they shall take5375 to themselves their curtains,3407 and all their vessels,3627 and their camels;1581 and they shall cry7121 unto them, Fear4032is on every side.543930 Flee,5127 get5110 you far off,3966{Heb. flit greatly} dwell3427 deep,6009 O ye inhabitants3427 of Hazor,2674 saith5002 the LORD;3068 for Nebuchadrezzar5019 king4428 of Babylon894 hath taken counsel60983289 against you, and hath conceived2803 a purpose4284 against you.
31 Arise,6965 get you up5927 unto the wealthy7961{Or, that is at ease} nation,1471 that dwelleth3427 without care,983 saith5002 the LORD,3068 which have neither gates1817 nor bars,1280which dwell7931 alone.91032 And their camels1581 shall be a booty,957 and the multitude1995 of their cattle4735 a spoil:7998 and I will scatter2219 into all winds7307 them thatare in the utmost7112 corners;6285{Heb. cut off into corners, or that have the corners of their hair pulled} and I will bring935 their calamity343 from all sides5676 thereof, saith5002 the LORD.306833 And Hazor2674 shall be a dwelling4583 for dragons,8577and a desolation8077 for5704 ever:5769 there shall no man376 abide3427 there, nor any son1121 of man120 dwell1481 in it.
Jeremiah 49:34 The word1697 of the LORD3068 that came to Jeremiah3414 the prophet5030 against Elam5867 in the beginning7225 of the reign4438 of Zedekiah6667 king4428 of Judah,3063 saying,55935 Thus saith559 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 Behold, I will break7665 the bow7198 of Elam,5867 the chief7225 of their might.136936 And upon Elam5867 will I bring935 the four702 winds7307 from the four702 quarters7098 of heaven,8064 and will scatter2219 them toward all those winds;7307 and there shall be no nation1471 whither the outcasts5080 of Elam58675769 shall not come.93537 For I will cause Elam5867 to be dismayed2865 before6440 their enemies,341 and before6440 them that seek1245 their life:5315 and I will bring935 evil7451 upon them, even my fierce2740 anger,639 saith5002 the LORD;3068 and I will send7971 the sword2719 after310 them, till I have consumed3615 them:
38 And I will set7760 my throne3678 in Elam,5867 and will destroy6 from thence the king4428 and the princes,8269 saith5002 the LORD.306839 But it shall come to pass in the latter319 days,3117that I will bring again77257725 the captivity76227622 of Elam,5867 saith5002 the LORD.3068
