49Concerning the Ammonites: This is what the LORD says: "Has Israel no children? Has she no heirs? Why then has Molek taken possession of Gad? Why do his people live in its towns?H1121H5983H559H3068H3478H1121H3423H4428H3423H1410H5971H3427H58922But the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I will sound the battle cry against Rabbah of the Ammonites; it will become a mound of ruins, and its surrounding villages will be set on fire. Then Israel will drive out those who drove her out," says the LORD.H3117H935H559H3068H8643H4421H8085H7237H1121H5983H8077H8510H1323H3341H784H3478H3423H3423H5002H30683"Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is destroyed! Cry out, you inhabitants of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth and mourn; rush here and there inside the walls, for Molek will go into exile, together with his priests and officials.H3213H2809H5857H7703H6817H1323H7237H2296H8242H5594H7751H1448H4428H3212H1473H3548H8269H31624Why do you boast of your valleys, boast of your valleys so fruitful? Unfaithful Daughter Ammon, you trust in your riches and say, 'Who will attack me?'H1984H6010H2100H6010H7728H1323H982H214H9355I will bring terror on you from all those around you," declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty. "Every one of you will be driven away, and no one will gather the fugitives.H935H6343H5002H136H3069H6635H5439H5080H376H6440H6908H50746"Yet afterward, I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites," declares the LORD.H310H7725H7622H1121H5983H5002H30687Concerning Edom: This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?H123H559H3068H6635H2451H8487H6098H6H995H2451H56288Turn and flee, hide in deep caves, you who live in Dedan, for I will bring disaster on Esau at the time when I punish him.H5127H6437H3427H6009H3427H1719H935H343H6215H6256H64859If grape pickers came to you, would they not leave a few grapes? If thieves came during the night, would they not steal only as much as they wanted?H1219H935H7604H5955H1590H3915H7843H176710But I will strip Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding places, so that he cannot conceal himself. His armed men are destroyed, also his allies and neighbors, so there is no one to say,H6215H2834H1540H4565H3201H2247H2233H7703H251H793411'Leave your fatherless children; I will keep them alive. Your widows too can depend on me.' "H5800H3490H2421H490H98212This is what the LORD says: "If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, why should you go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, but must drink it.H559H3068H4941H8354H3563H8354H8354H5352H5352H5352H8354H835413I swear by myself," declares the LORD, "that Bozrah will become a ruin and a curse, an object of horror and reproach; and all its towns will be in ruins forever."H7650H5002H3068H1224H8047H2781H2721H7045H5892H5769H272314I have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy was sent to the nations to say, "Assemble yourselves to attack it! Rise up for battle!"H8085H8052H3068H6735H7971H1471H6908H935H6965H442115"Now I will make you small among the nations, despised among the peoples.H5414H6996H1471H959H12016The terror you inspire and the pride of your heart have deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks, who occupy the heights of the hill. Though you build your nest as high as the eagle's, from there I will bring you down," declares the LORD.H8606H5377H2087H3820H7931H2288H5553H8610H4791H1389H7064H1361H5404H3381H5002H306817"Edom will become an object of horror; all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff because of all its wounds.H123H8047H5674H8074H8319H434718As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown, along with their neighboring towns," says the LORD, "so no one will live there; no one will dwell in it.H4114H5467H6017H7934H559H3068H376H3427H1121H120H148119"Like a lion coming up from Jordan's thickets to a rich pastureland, I will chase Edom from its land in an instant. Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this? Who is like me and who can challenge me? And what shepherd can stand against me?"H5927H738H1347H3383H5116H386H7280H7323H977H6485H3259H7462H5975H644020Therefore, hear what the LORD has planned against Edom, what he has purposed against those who live in Teman: The young of the flock will be dragged away; their pasture will be appalled at their fate.H8085H6098H3068H3289H123H4284H2803H3427H8487H6810H6629H5498H5116H807421At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble; their cry will resound to the Red Sea.H776H7493H6963H5307H6818H6963H8085H5488H322022Look! An eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom's warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.H5927H1675H5404H6566H3671H1224H3117H3820H1368H123H3820H802H688723Concerning Damascus: "Hamath and Arpad are dismayed, for they have heard bad news.
