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?H1121H5983H559H3068H3478H1121H3423H4428H3423H1410H5971H3427H58922But 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.H3117H935H559H3068H8643H4421H8085H7237H1121H5983H8077H8510H1323H3341H784H3478H3423H3423H5002H30683People 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.H3213H2809H5857H7703H6817H1323H7237H2296H8242H5594H7751H1448H4428H3212H1473H3548H8269H31624Why 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?H1984H6010H2100H6010H7728H1323H982H214H9355I 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.H935H6343H5002H136H3069H6635H5439H5080H376H6440H6908H50746"But later on I will make Ammon prosperous again. I, the LORD, have spoken."H310H7725H7622H1121H5983H5002H30687This 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?H123H559H3068H6635H2451H8487H6098H6H995H2451H56288People of Dedan, turn and run! Hide! I am going to destroy Esau's descendants because the time has come for me to punish them.H5127H6437H3427H6009H3427H1719H935H343H6215H6256H64859When people pick grapes, they leave a few on the vines, and when robbers come at night, they take only what they want.H1219H935H7604H5955H1590H3915H7843H176710But 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.H6215H2834H1540H4565H3201H2247H2233H7703H251H793411Leave your orphans with me, and I will take care of them. Your widows can depend on me.H5800H3490H2421H490H98212"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!H559H3068H4941H8354H3563H8354H8354H5352H5352H5352H8354H835413I 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."H7650H5002H3068H1224H8047H2781H2721H7045H5892H5769H272314I 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.H8085H8052H3068H6735H7971H1471H6908H935H6965H442115The LORD is going to make you weak, and no one will respect you.H5414H6996H1471H959H12016Your 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."H8606H5377H2087H3820H7931H2288H5553H8610H4791H1389H7064H1361H5404H3381H5002H306817The LORD said, "The destruction that will come on Edom will be so terrible that everyone who passes by will be shocked and terrified.H123H8047H5674H8074H8319H434718The 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.H4114H5467H6017H7934H559H3068H376H3427H1121H120H148119Like 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?H5927H738H1347H3383H5116H386H7280H7323H977H6485H3259H7462H5975H644020So 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.H8085H6098H3068H3289H123H4284H2803H3427H8487H6810H6629H5498H5116H807421When 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.H776H7493H6963H5307H6818H6963H8085H5488H322022The 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."H5927H1675H5404H6566H3671H1224H3117H3820H1368H123H3820H802H688723This 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.H1834H2574H954H774H8085H7451H8052H4127H1674H3220H3201H825224The people of Damascus are weak and have fled in terror. They are in pain and misery like a woman in labor.H1834H7503H6437H5127H7374H2388H6869H2256H270H320525The famous city that used to be happy is completely deserted.H5892H8416H5800H7151H488526On that day her young men will be killed in the city streets, and all her soldiers destroyed.H970H5307H7339H582H4421H1826H3117H5002H3068H663527I will set the walls of Damascus on fire and will burn down King Benhadad's palaces. I, the LORD Almighty, have spoken."H3341H784H2346H1834H398H759H113028This 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!H6938H4467H2674H5019H4428H894H5221H559H3068H6965H5927H6938H7703H1121H692429Seize 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!'H168H6629H3947H5375H3407H3627H1581H7121H4032H543930"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,H5127H5110H3966H3427H6009H3427H2674H5002H3068H5019H4428H894H6098H3289H2803H428431'Come on! We'll attack those people that feel safe and secure! Their city has no gates or locks and is completely unprotected.'H6965H5927H7961H1471H3427H983H5002H3068H1817H1280H7931H91032"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.H1581H957H1995H4735H7998H2219H7307H7112H6285H935H343H5676H5002H306833Hazor will be made a desert forever, a place where only jackals live. No one will ever live there again. I, the LORD, have spoken."H2674H4583H8577H8077H5704H5769H376H3427H1121H120H148134Soon after Zedekiah became king of Judah, the LORD Almighty spoke to me about the country of Elam.H1697H3068H3414H5030H5867H7225H4438H6667H4428H3063H55935He said, "I will kill all the archers who have made Elam so powerful.H559H3068H6635H7665H7198H5867H7225H136936I 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.H5867H935H702H7307H702H7098H8064H2219H7307H1471H5080H5867H5769H93537I 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.H5867H2865H6440H341H6440H1245H5315H935H7451H2740H639H5002H3068H7971H2719H310H361538I will destroy their kings and leaders, and set up my throne there.H7760H3678H5867H6H4428H8269H5002H306839But later on I will make the people of Elam prosperous again. I, the LORD, have spoken."H319H3117H7725H7725H7622H7622H5867H5002H3068
