24_JER_49_01 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?
24_JER_49_02 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.
24_JER_49_03 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.
24_JER_49_04 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, [ saying], who shall come unto me?
24_JER_49_05 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.
24_JER_49_06 And Afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
24_JER_49_07 concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; [ Is] wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel perished from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?
24_JER_49_08 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.
24_JER_49_09 if grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave [ some] gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
24_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.
24_JER_49_11 leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve [ them] alive; And let thy widows trust in me.
24_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].
24_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.
24_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.
24_JER_49_15 for, Lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, [ And] despised among men.
24_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.
24_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.
24_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.
24_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?
24_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.
24_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.
24_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.
24_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.
24_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.
24_JER_49_25 how Is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy !
24_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.
24_JER_49_27 And I will kindle A fire in the wall of Damascus, And it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
24_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.
24_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.
24_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.
24_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.
24_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.
24_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.
24_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,
24_JER_49_35 thus saith the LORD of hosts; behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
24_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.
24_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:
24_JER_49_38 And I will set my throne in Elam, And will destroy from thence the king And the princes, saith the LORD.
24_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.
