Jeremiah 49
49:1To the sons of Ammon, thus said the lord, Are there no sons in Israel? or is there no one inheriting of them? Why did Milcom inherit Gad, and their people dwell in their cities?
49:2On account of this, behold, days come, says the lord, and I shall cause to be heard upon Rabbah of the sons of Ammon a tumult of war. And they shall be for an untrodden land, and for destruction. And her shrines shall be incinerated by fire, and Israel shall inherit his rule, says the lord.
49:3Shout, O Heshbon! for Ai was destroyed. Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Gird on sackcloths! Be possessed, and lament over Milcom! For in resettlement his priests and his rulers shall proceed together.
49:4Why do you exult in Emakeim, O daughter of the audacity, the one relying upon her treasures; the one saying, Who shall come to me?
49:5Behold, I will bring upon you fear, said the lord of the forces, from all of your adjacent places. And you shall be scattered each unto his front, and there shall not be one gathering the runaways.
49:6And after these things I will return the captivity of the sons of Ammon, says the lord.
49:7To Edom, thus says the lord, There is no more wisdom in Teman. The counsel of experts was destroyed. Their wisdom was undone.
49:8Their place was beguiled. Deepen to yourselves into sitting, O ones dwelling in Dedan, for he made difficult; I led him in the time which I visited against him.
49:9For grape gatherers came to you -- the ones who shall not leave behind to you vestiges. As thieves in the night they shall put their hands.
49:10For I dragged down Esau; I uncovered their hidden things; in no way shall they be able to hide; they were destroyed by the hand of his brother, and his neighbor; and he is not.
49:11Let your orphan be left behind that he should live, and I shall enliven, and your widows shall hope upon me.
49:12For thus says the lord, Behold, the ones which were not by law to drink the cup, drank; and you for being acquitted in no way shall be acquitted; for by drinking you shall drink.
49:13For according to myself I swear by an oath, says the lord, that for an untrodden land, and for scorning, and for a curse, you will be in the midst of her; and all her cities shall be wildernesses into eon.
49:14In hearing, I heard from the lord, and he sent messengers unto nations, saying, Gather together, and come to her! Rise up for war!
49:15Behold, I have appointed you to be small among nations, despicable among men.
49:16Your play took in hand against you; audacity of your heart deposed holes of rocks, it seized the strength of a high hill. For if you should raise up high your nest as an eagle, says the lord, from there I will lower you.
49:17And Edom will be for an untrodden land. All the ones coming upon her shall be amazed, and shall whistle over all her calamities.
49:18As Sodom and Gomorrah and her sojourners were eradicated, said the lord, in no way shall a man sit there, nor in any way should a son of man dwell there.
49:19Behold, as a lion he shall ascend from out of the midst of the Jordan unto the place of Aitham. For quickly I will drive them from her. And you set the young men against her! For who is as I? And who shall oppose me? And who is this shepherd who shall stand in front of me?
49:20On account of this, hear the plan of the lord! which he planned against Edom; and his device which he devised against the ones dwelling Teman. Surely the least of the sheep shall be scraped away. Surely their resting-place shall be made impassable for them?
49:21From the sound of their downfall the earth was shaken. Your cry in the sea was heard.
49:22Behold, as an eagle he shall ascend, and shall see, and shall stretch out the wings against her fortresses. And the heart of the strong ones of Edom will be in that day as the heart of a woman travailing.
49:23To Damascus. Hamath was disgraced and Arpad; for they heard an evil report. They were startled; they were enraged; in no way shall they be able to rest.
49:24Damascus was enfeebled; she was turned to flight; trembling took hold of her; straitness and grief constrained her as one being in travail.
49:25O how was she not abandoned, praised city, the town being loved.
49:26On account of this, young men shall fall in your squares; and all the men, your warriors, shall fall in that day, says the lord of the forces.
49:27And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the plaza of the son of Hadad.
49:28To Kedar and to the queen of the courtyard which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. Thus said the lord, Rise up and ascend unto Kedar, and strike the sons of Kedem!
49:29They shall take their tents and their sheep, their garments and all their vessels; and they shall take their camels for themselves. And you call upon them destruction round about!
49:30Flee exceedingly! Deepen into sitting! sitting down in the courtyard, says the lord. For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon planned against you a plan, and devised against you a device.
49:31Rise up and ascend upon a stable nation! one sitting down for respite, which there are no doors nor bars -- alone they rest up.
49:32And their camels will be for plunder, and the multitude of their cattle will be for destruction. And I shall winnow them with every wind, being shaven in front of them; from every side of them I will bring their enemy routing them, said the lord.
49:33And the courtyard will be for a pastime of ostriches, and an untrodden place unto the eon; in no way shall a man be seated there, nor in any way should a son of man dwell there.
49:34And came to pass the word of the lord to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
49:35Thus says the lord of the forces, Behold, I break the bow of Elam, the source of their dominions.
49:36And I shall bring upon Elam four winds from the four uttermost parts of the heaven; and I will scatter them in all these winds; and there will not be a nation which shall not come -- the ones being pushing out of Elam.
49:37And I shall terrify them before their enemies, of the ones seeking their life. And I will bring upon them evil according to the anger of my rage, says the lord. And I will send my sword as successor after them, until the completely consuming them.
49:38And I will put my throne in Elam, and I will send out from there a king and great men, says the lord.
49:39And it will be at the latter ends of the days I will return the captivity of Elam, says the lord.
