International Standard Version Help
49To the people of Ammon: This is what the Lord says: "Does Israel have no sons?Does he have no heir?Why then has Milcom taken possession of Gad, and his people settled in its towns -H1121H5983H559H3068H3478H1121H3423H4428H3423H1410H5971H3427H5892
2Therefore, look, the time is coming," declares the Lord, "when I'll cause a battle cry to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites. It will become a desolate mound, and its towns will be burned with fire. Israel will take possession of those who possessed him," says the Lord.H3117H935H559H3068H8643H4421H8085H7237H1121H5983H8077H8510H1323H3341H784H3478H3423H3423H5002H3068
3"Wail, Heshbon, because Ai is destroyed. Cry out, daughters of Rabbah, put on sackcloth and lament. Run back and forth inside the walls, for Milcom is going into exile along with his priests and his princes.H3213H2809H5857H7703H6817H1323H7237H2296H8242H5594H7751H1448H4428H3212H1473H3548H8269H3162
4Why do you boast in your valleys?Your valley is flowing away, faithless daughter, who trusted in her treasures, saying, 'Who will come against me?H1984H6010H2100H6010H7728H1323H982H214H935
5Look, I'm bringing terror on you from all around you," declares the Lord GOD of the Heavenly Armies. "You will be driven out, fleeing recklessly, and there will be no one to gather the fugitives.H935H6343H5002H136H3069H6635H5439H5080H376H6440H6908H5074
6But afterwards I'll restore the fortunes of the people of Ammon," declares the Lord.H310H7725H7622H1121H5983H5002H3068
7To Edom: This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: "Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?Has counsel perished among the prudent?Is their wisdom gone -H123H559H3068H6635H2451H8487H6098H6H995H2451H5628
8Flee, turn around! Go to a remote place to stay, residents of Dedan! For I'll bring Esau's disaster on him at the time when I punish him. If the grape harvesters came to you, would they not leave gleanings?If thieves came at night, they would destroy only until they had enough.H5127H6437H3427H6009H3427H1719H935H343H6215H6256H6485
10But I'll strip Esau bare. I'll uncover his hiding places so he cannot conceal himself. His offspring, his relatives, and his neighbors will be destroyed, and he will no longer exist.H6215H2834H1540H4565H3201H2247H2233H7703H251H7934
11Leave your orphans. I'll keep them alive. Let your widows trust in me."H5800H3490H2421H490H982
12For this is what the Lord says: "Look, those who don't deserve to drink the cup will surely drink it, and will you actually go unpunished?You won't go unpunished! You will certainly drink it!H559H3068H4941H8354H3563H8354H8354H5352H5352H5352H8354H8354
13Indeed, I've sworn by myself," declares the Lord, "that Bozrah will become an object of horror and scorn, a waste, and an object of ridicule. All her towns will become perpetual ruins."H7650H5002H3068H1224H8047H2781H2721H7045H5892H5769H2723
14I've heard a message from the Lord, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: "Gather together and come up against her, and rise up to fight.H8085H8052H3068H6735H7971H1471H6908H935H6965H4421
15Indeed, I'll make you the least of the nations, despised among men.H5414H6996H1471H959H120
16The terror you cause and the pride of your heart have deceived you. You who live in hidden places in the rocks, who hold on to the heights of the hill, although you make your nest high like the eagle, I'll bring you down from there," declares the Lord.H8606H5377H2087H3820H7931H2288H5553H8610H4791H1389H7064H1361H5404H3381H5002H3068
17"Edom will become an object of horror. Everyone who passes by her will be horrified and will scoff because of all her wounds.H123H8047H5674H8074H8319H4347
18Just like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors," says the Lord, "no one will live there. No human being will reside in it.H4114H5467H6017H7934H559H3068H376H3427H1121H120H1481
19Look, like a lion comes up from the thicket of the Jordan to a pasture that grows year round, so I'll drive them away from her in an instant, and I'll appoint whomever is chosen over her. Indeed, who is like me?Who gives me counsel?Who is the shepherd who will stand against me?H5927H738H1347H3383H5116H386H7280H7323H977H6485H3259H7462H5975H6440
20Therefore, hear the plan that the Lord has made against Edom, and the strategy that he devised against the inhabitants of Teman. Surely he will drag the little ones of the flock away. Surely their pasture will be desolate because of them.H8085H6098H3068H3289H123H4284H2803H3427H8487H6810H6629H5498H5116H8074
21The earth will quake at the sound of their fall. A cry - it's her voice - is heard at the Reed Sea.H776H7493H6963H5307H6818H6963H8085H5488H3220
22Look, he will rise up and fly swiftly like an eagle. He will spread his wings against Bozrah, and on that day the hearts of the warriors of Edom will be like the heart of a woman in labor.H5927H1675H5404H6566H3671H1224H3117H3820H1368H123H3820H802H6887
23To Damascus: "Hamath and Arpad will be humiliated. Their courage melts because they have heard bad news. There is anxiety like the sea that cannot be calmed.H1834H2574H954H774H8085H7451H8052H4127H1674H3220H3201H8252
24Damascus will become weak. She will turn to flee, but panic will seize her. Distress and anguish will take hold of her like that of a woman giving birth.H1834H7503H6437H5127H7374H2388H6869H2256H270H3205
25Why is the famous city, the joyful town, not abandoned -H5892H8416H5800H7151H4885
26Therefore her young men will fall in her streets, and all her soldiers will be silenced on that day, declares the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.H970H5307H7339H582H4421H1826H3117H5002H3068H6635
27I'll kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it will devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad."H3341H784H2346H1834H398H759H1130
28To Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon destroyed: This is what the Lord says: "Arise, go against Kedar! Plunder the people of the east!H6938H4467H2674H5019H4428H894H5221H559H3068H6965H5927H6938H7703H1121H6924
29Take their tents and their flocks, their tent curtains and all their goods. Take their camels away from them. Cry out against them, 'Terror is all around!'H168H6629H3947H5375H3407H3627H1581H7121H4032H5439
30Flee! Run away quickly! Go to a remote place to stay, residents of Hazor," declares the Lord. For King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has formed a plan and devised a strategy against them."H5127H5110H3966H3427H6009H3427H2674H5002H3068H5019H4428H894H6098H3289H2803H4284
31"Arise, go up against a nation at ease, living securely," declares the Lord, "without gates or bars, living alone.H6965H5927H7961H1471H3427H983H5002H3068H1817H1280H7931H910
32Their camels will become booty, their many herds will become spoil. I'll scatter to the winds those who shave the corners of their beards, and I'll bring disaster on them from every side," declares the Lord.H1581H957H1995H4735H7998H2219H7307H7112H6285H935H343H5676H5002H3068
33"Hazor will become a dwelling place for jackals, a perpetual wasteland. No one will live there; no human being will reside in it.H2674H4583H8577H8077H5704H5769H376H3427H1121H120H1481
34That which came as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam at the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah:H1697H3068H3414H5030H5867H7225H4438H6667H4428H3063H559
35This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies says: "Look, I'm going to break the bow of Elam, the finest of their troops.H559H3068H6635H7665H7198H5867H7225H1369
36I'll bring the four winds against Elam from the four corners of the heavens, and I'll scatter them to all these winds. There will be no nation to which the exiles from Elam won't go.H5867H935H702H7307H702H7098H8064H2219H7307H1471H5080H5867H5769H935
37I'll terrify Elam before their enemies and before those who seek to kill them. I'll bring on them disaster and become fiercely angry at them," declares the Lord. I'll send the sword after them, until I've made an end of them.H5867H2865H6440H341H6440H1245H5315H935H7451H2740H639H5002H3068H7971H2719H310H3615
38I'll put my throne in Elam, and destroy the king and the officials there," declares the Lord.H7760H3678H5867H6H4428H8269H5002H3068
39"But in the latter days I'll restore the fortunes of Elam," declares the Lord.H319H3117H7725H7725H7622H7622H5867H5002H3068
