The Lord’s Judgment on Ammon

49This is what the LORD said about Ammon: "Where are the men of Israel? Is there no one to defend their land? Why have they let the people who worship Molech take the territory of the tribe of Gad and settle there?H1121H5983H559H3068H3478H1121H3423H4428H3423H1410H5971H3427H5892
2But the time is coming when I will make the people of the capital city of Rabbah hear the noise of battle, and it will be left in ruins and its villages burned to the ground. Then Israel will take its land back from those who took it from them.H3117H935H559H3068H8643H4421H8085H7237H1121H5983H8077H8510H1323H3341H784H3478H3423H3423H5002H3068
3People of Heshbon, cry out! Ai is destroyed! Women of Rabbah, go into mourning! Put on sackcloth and mourn. Run about in confusion. Your god Molech will be taken into exile, together with his priests and princes.H3213H2809H5857H7703H6817H1323H7237H2296H8242H5594H7751H1448H4428H3212H1473H3548H8269H3162
4Why do you unfaithful people boast? Your strength is failing. Why do you trust in your power and say that no one would dare attack you?H1984H6010H2100H6010H7728H1323H982H214H935
5I will bring terror on you from every side. You will all run away. Each one will run for his life, and there will be no one to bring your troops together again.H935H6343H5002H136H3069H6635H5439H5080H376H6440H6908H5074
6"But later on I will make Ammon prosperous again. I, the LORD, have spoken."H310H7725H7622H1121H5983H5002H3068

The Lord’s Judgment on Edom

7This is what the LORD Almighty said about Edom: "Have the people of Edom lost their good judgment? Can their advisers no longer tell them what to do? Has all their wisdom disappeared?H123H559H3068H6635H2451H8487H6098H6H995H2451H5628
8People of Dedan, turn and run! Hide! I am going to destroy Esau's descendants because the time has come for me to punish them.H5127H6437H3427H6009H3427H1719H935H343H6215H6256H6485
9When people pick grapes, they leave a few on the vines, and when robbers come at night, they take only what they want.H1219H935H7604H5955H1590H3915H7843H1767
10But I have stripped Esau's descendants completely and uncovered their hiding places, so that they can no longer hide. All the people of Edom are destroyed. Not one of them is left.H6215H2834H1540H4565H3201H2247H2233H7703H251H7934
11Leave your orphans with me, and I will take care of them. Your widows can depend on me.H5800H3490H2421H490H982
12"If even those who did not deserve to be punished had to drink from the cup of punishment, do you think that you will go unpunished? No, you must drink from the cup!H559H3068H4941H8354H3563H8354H8354H5352H5352H5352H8354H8354
13I myself have sworn that the city of Bozrah will become a horrifying sight and a desert; people will make fun of it and use its name as a curse. All the nearby villages will be in ruins forever. I, the LORD, have spoken."H7650H5002H3068H1224H8047H2781H2721H7045H5892H5769H2723
14I said, "Edom, I have received a message from the LORD. He has sent a messenger to tell the nations to assemble their armies and to get ready to attack you.H8085H8052H3068H6735H7971H1471H6908H935H6965H4421
15The LORD is going to make you weak, and no one will respect you.H5414H6996H1471H959H120
16Your pride has deceived you. No one fears you as much as you think they do. You live on the rocky cliffs, high on top of the mountain; but even though you live as high up as an eagle, the LORD will bring you down. The LORD has spoken."H8606H5377H2087H3820H7931H2288H5553H8610H4791H1389H7064H1361H5404H3381H5002H3068
17The LORD said, "The destruction that will come on Edom will be so terrible that everyone who passes by will be shocked and terrified.H123H8047H5674H8074H8319H4347
18The same thing will happen to Edom that happened to Sodom and Gomorrah, when they and the nearby towns were destroyed. No one will ever live there again. I, the LORD, have spoken.H4114H5467H6017H7934H559H3068H376H3427H1121H120H1481
19Like a lion coming out of the thick woods along the Jordan River up to the green pasture land, I will come and make the Edomites run away suddenly from their country. Then the leader I choose will rule the nation. Who can be compared to me? Who would dare challenge me? What ruler could oppose me?H5927H738H1347H3383H5116H386H7280H7323H977H6485H3259H7462H5975H6440
20So listen to the plan that I have made against the people of Edom, and to what I intend to do to the people of the city of Teman. Even their children will be dragged off, and everyone will be horrified.H8085H6098H3068H3289H123H4284H2803H3427H8487H6810H6629H5498H5116H8074
21When Edom falls, there will be such a noise that the entire earth will shake, and the cries of alarm will be heard as far away as the Gulf of Aqaba.H776H7493H6963H5307H6818H6963H8085H5488H3220
22The enemy will attack Bozrah like an eagle swooping down with outspread wings. On that day Edom's soldiers will be as frightened as a woman in labor."H5927H1675H5404H6566H3671H1224H3117H3820H1368H123H3820H802H6887

The Lord’s Judgment on Damascus

23This is what the LORD said about Damascus: "The people in the cities of Hamath and Arpad are worried and troubled because they have heard bad news. Anxiety rolls over them like a sea, and they cannot rest.H1834H2574H954H774H8085H7451H8052H4127H1674H3220H3201H8252
24The people of Damascus are weak and have fled in terror. They are in pain and misery like a woman in labor.H1834H7503H6437H5127H7374H2388H6869H2256H270H3205
25The famous city that used to be happy is completely deserted.H5892H8416H5800H7151H4885
26On that day her young men will be killed in the city streets, and all her soldiers destroyed.H970H5307H7339H582H4421H1826H3117H5002H3068H6635
27I will set the walls of Damascus on fire and will burn down King Benhadad's palaces. I, the LORD Almighty, have spoken."H3341H784H2346H1834H398H759H1130

Judgment on the Tribe of Kedar and the City of Hazor

28This is what the LORD said about the tribe of Kedar and the districts controlled by Hazor, which were conquered by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia: "Attack the people of Kedar and destroy that tribe of eastern people!H6938H4467H2674H5019H4428H894H5221H559H3068H6965H5927H6938H7703H1121H6924
29Seize their tents and their flocks, their tent curtains and everything in their tents. Take their camels and tell the people, 'Terror is all around you!'H168H6629H3947H5375H3407H3627H1581H7121H4032H5439
30"People of Hazor, I, the LORD, warn you to run far away and hide. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia has plotted against you, and this is what he says,H5127H5110H3966H3427H6009H3427H2674H5002H3068H5019H4428H894H6098H3289H2803H4284
31'Come on! We'll attack those people that feel safe and secure! Their city has no gates or locks and is completely unprotected.'H6965H5927H7961H1471H3427H983H5002H3068H1817H1280H7931H910
32"Take their camels and all their livestock! I will scatter in every direction those people who cut their hair short, and I will bring disaster on them from every side.H1581H957H1995H4735H7998H2219H7307H7112H6285H935H343H5676H5002H3068
33Hazor will be made a desert forever, a place where only jackals live. No one will ever live there again. I, the LORD, have spoken."H2674H4583H8577H8077H5704H5769H376H3427H1121H120H1481

The Lord’s Judgment on Elam

34Soon after Zedekiah became king of Judah, the LORD Almighty spoke to me about the country of Elam.H1697H3068H3414H5030H5867H7225H4438H6667H4428H3063H559
35He said, "I will kill all the archers who have made Elam so powerful.H559H3068H6635H7665H7198H5867H7225H1369
36I will make winds blow against Elam from all directions, and I will scatter her people everywhere, until there is no country where her refugees have not gone.H5867H935H702H7307H702H7098H8064H2219H7307H1471H5080H5867H5769H935
37I will make the people of Elam afraid of their enemies, who want to kill them. In my great anger I will destroy the people of Elam and send armies against them until I have wiped them out.H5867H2865H6440H341H6440H1245H5315H935H7451H2740H639H5002H3068H7971H2719H310H3615
38I will destroy their kings and leaders, and set up my throne there.H7760H3678H5867H6H4428H8269H5002H3068
39But later on I will make the people of Elam prosperous again. I, the LORD, have spoken."H319H3117H7725H7725H7622H7622H5867H5002H3068
