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?
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.
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.
4
Wherefore
gloriest
thou
in
the
valleys,
thy
flowing
valley,
O
backsliding
daughter?
that
trusted
in
her
treasures,
[saying],
Who
shall
come
unto
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.
6
And
afterward
I
will
bring
again
the
captivity
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
saith
the
LORD.
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?
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.
9
If
grapegatherers
come
to
thee,
would
they
not
leave
[some]
gleaning
grapes?
if
thieves
by
night,
they
will
destroy
till
they
have
enough.
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.
11
Leave
thy
fatherless
children,
I
will
preserve
[them]
alive;
and
let
thy
widows
trust
in
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].
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.
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.
15
For,
lo,
I
will
make
thee
small
among
the
heathen,
[and]
despised
among
men.
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.
17
Also
Edom
shall
be
a
desolation:
every
one
that
goeth
by
it
shall
be
astonished,
and
shall
hiss
at
all
the
plagues
thereof.
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
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
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.
21
The
earth
is
moved
at
the
noise
of
their
fall,
at
the
cry
the
noise
thereof
was
heard
in
the
Red
sea.
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.
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.
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.
25
How
is
the
city
of
praise
not
left,
the
city
of
my
joy!
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.
27
And
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
the
wall
of
Damascus,
and
it
shall
consume
the
palaces
of
Benhadad.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
35
Thus
saith
the
LORD
of
hosts;
Behold,
I
will
break
the
bow
of
Elam,
the
chief
of
their
might.
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.
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:
38
And
I
will
set
my
throne
in
Elam,
and
will
destroy
from
thence
the
king
and
the
princes,
saith
the
LORD.
39
But
it
shall
come
to
pass
in
the
latter
days,
[that]
I
will
bring
again
the
captivity
of
Elam,
saith
the
LORD.
