49Concerning the Ammonites. Thus says the LORD: "Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then has Milcom dispossessed Gad, and his people settled in its cities?H1121H5983H559H3068H3478H1121H3423H4428H3423H1410H5971H3427H58922Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will cause the battle cry to be heard against Rabbah of the Ammonites; it shall become a desolate mound, and its villages shall be burned with fire; then Israel shall dispossess those who dispossessed him, says the LORD.H3117H935H559H3068H8643H4421H8085H7237H1121H5983H8077H8510H1323H3341H784H3478H3423H3423H5002H30683"Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth, lament, and run to and fro among the hedges! For Milcom shall go into exile, with his priests and his officials.H3213H2809H5857H7703H6817H1323H7237H2296H8242H5594H7751H1448H4428H3212H1473H3548H8269H31624Why do you boast of your valleys, O faithless daughter, who trusted in her treasures, saying, 'Who will come against me?'H1984H6010H2100H6010H7728H1323H982H214H9355Behold, I will bring terror upon you, declares the Lord GOD of hosts, from all who are around you, and you shall be driven out, every man straight before him, with none to gather the fugitives.H935H6343H5002H136H3069H6635H5439H5080H376H6440H6908H50746"But afterward I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites, declares the LORD."H310H7725H7622H1121H5983H5002H30687Concerning Edom. Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Is wisdom no more in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished?H123H559H3068H6635H2451H8487H6098H6H995H2451H56288Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Dedan! For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time when I punish him.H5127H6437H3427H6009H3427H1719H935H343H6215H6256H64859If grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings? If thieves came by night, would they not destroy only enough for themselves?H1219H935H7604H5955H1590H3915H7843H176710But I have stripped Esau bare; I have uncovered his hiding places, and he is not able to conceal himself. His children are destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.H6215H2834H1540H4565H3201H2247H2233H7703H251H793411Leave your fatherless children; I will keep them alive; and let your widows trust in me."H5800H3490H2421H490H98212For thus says the LORD: "If those who did not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, will you go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you must drink.H559H3068H4941H8354H3563H8354H8354H5352H5352H5352H8354H835413For I have sworn by myself, declares the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a horror, a taunt, a waste, and a curse, and all her cities shall be perpetual wastes."H7650H5002H3068H1224H8047H2781H2721H7045H5892H5769H272314I have heard a message from the LORD, and an envoy has been sent among the nations: "Gather yourselves together and come against her, and rise up for battle!H8085H8052H3068H6735H7971H1471H6908H935H6965H442115For behold, I will make you small among the nations, despised among mankind.H5414H6996H1471H959H12016The horror you inspire has deceived you, and the pride of your heart, you who live in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill. Though you make your nest as high as the eagle's, I will bring you down from there, declares the LORD.H8606H5377H2087H3820H7931H2288H5553H8610H4791H1389H7064H1361H5404H3381H5002H306817"Edom shall become a horror. Everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its disasters.H123H8047H5674H8074H8319H434718As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighboring cities were overthrown, says the LORD, no man shall dwell there, no man shall sojourn in her.H4114H5467H6017H7934H559H3068H376H3427H1121H120H148119Behold, like a lion coming up from the jungle of the Jordan against a perennial pasture, I will suddenly make him run away from her. And I will appoint over her whomever I choose. For who is like me? Who will summon me? What shepherd can stand before me?H5927H738H1347H3383H5116H386H7280H7323H977H6485H3259H7462H5975H644020Therefore hear the plan that the LORD has made against Edom and the purposes that he has formed against the inhabitants of Teman: Even the little ones of the flock shall be dragged away. Surely their fold shall be appalled at their fate.H8085H6098H3068H3289H123H4284H2803H3427H8487H6810H6629H5498H5116H807421At the sound of their fall the earth shall tremble; the sound of their cry shall be heard at the Red Sea.H776H7493H6963H5307H6818H6963H8085H5488H322022Behold, one shall mount up and fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against Bozrah, and the heart of the warriors of Edom shall be in that day like the heart of a woman in her birth pains."H5927H1675H5404H6566H3671H1224H3117H3820H1368H123H3820H802H688723Concerning Damascus: "Hamath and Arpad are confounded, for they have heard bad news; they melt in fear, they are troubled like the sea that cannot be quiet.H1834H2574H954H774H8085H7451H8052H4127H1674H3220H3201H825224Damascus has become feeble, she turned to flee, and panic seized her; anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in labor.H1834H7503H6437H5127H7374H2388H6869H2256H270H320525How is the famous city not forsaken, the city of my joy?H5892H8416H5800H7151H488526Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares, and all her soldiers shall be destroyed in that day, declares the LORD of hosts.H970H5307H7339H582H4421H1826H3117H5002H3068H663527And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad."H3341H784H2346H1834H398H759H113028Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down. Thus says the LORD: "Rise up, advance against Kedar! Destroy the people of the east!H6938H4467H2674H5019H4428H894H5221H559H3068H6965H5927H6938H7703H1121H692429Their tents and their flocks shall be taken, their curtains and all their goods; their camels shall be led away from them, and men shall cry to them: 'Terror on every side!'H168H6629H3947H5375H3407H3627H1581H7121H4032H543930Flee, wander far away, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Hazor! declares the LORD. For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has made a plan against you and formed a purpose against you.H5127H5110H3966H3427H6009H3427H2674H5002H3068H5019H4428H894H6098H3289H2803H428431"Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, that dwells securely, declares the LORD, that has no gates or bars, that dwells alone.H6965H5927H7961H1471H3427H983H5002H3068H1817H1280H7931H91032Their camels shall become plunder, their herds of livestock a spoil.
