1. Concerning the sons of Ammon: `Thus said Jehovah: Sons -- hath Israel none? heir -- hath he none? Wherefore hath Malcam possessed Gad? And his people in its cities have dwelt?
|
1. Concerning the Ammonites H1121 H5984 , thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Hath Israel H3478 no H369 sons H1121 ? hath he no H369 heir H3423 ? why H4069 then doth their king H4428 inherit H3423 H853 Gad H1410 , and his people H5971 dwell H3427 in his cities H5892 ?
|
|
2. Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sounded unto Rabbah of the sons of Ammon a shout of battle, And it hath been for a heap -- a desolation, And her daughters with fire are burnt, And Israel hath succeeded its heirs, Said hath Jehovah.
|
2. Therefore H3651 , behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , saith H559 the LORD H3068 , that I will cause an alarm H8643 of war H4421 to be heard H8085 in H413 Rabbah H7237 of the Ammonites H1121 H5983 ; and it shall be H1961 a desolate H8077 heap H8510 , and her daughters H1323 shall be burned H3341 with fire H784 : then shall Israel H3478 be heir H3423 unto them that were H853 his heirs H3423 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
3. Howl, Heshbon, for spoiled is Ai, Cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird on sackcloth, Lament, and go to and fro by the hedges, For Malcam into captivity doth go, His priests and his princes together.
|
3. Howl H3213 , O Heshbon H2809 , for H3588 Ai H5857 is spoiled H7703 : cry H6817 , ye daughters H1323 of Rabbah H7237 , gird H2296 you with sackcloth H8242 ; lament H5594 , and run to and fro H7751 by the hedges H1448 ; for H3588 their king H4428 shall go H1980 into captivity H1473 , and his priests H3548 and his princes H8269 together H3162 .
|
|
4. What -- dost thou boast thyself in valleys? Flowed hath thy valley, O backsliding daughter, Who is trusting in her treasures: Who doth come in unto me?
|
4. Wherefore H4100 gloriest H1984 thou in the valleys H6010 , thy flowing H2100 valley H6010 , O backsliding H7728 daughter H1323 ? that trusted H982 in her treasures H214 , saying , Who H4310 shall come H935 unto H413 me?
|
|
5. Lo, I am bringing in upon thee a fear, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, From all round about thee, And ye have been driven out each before it, And there is no gatherer of the wandering.
|
5. Behold H2009 , I will bring H935 a fear H6343 upon H5921 thee, saith H5002 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 of hosts H6635 , from all H4480 H3605 those that be about H5439 thee ; and ye shall be driven out H5080 every man H376 right forth H6440 ; and none H369 shall gather up H6908 him that wandereth H5074 .
|
|
6. And after this I turn back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, An affirmation of Jehovah.`
|
6. And afterward H310 H3651 I will bring again H7725 H853 the captivity H7622 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
7. Concerning Edom: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Perished hath counsel from the intelligent? Vanished hath their wisdom?
|
7. Concerning Edom H123 , thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 ; Is wisdom H2451 no H369 more H5750 in Teman H8487 ? is counsel H6098 perished H6 from the prudent H4480 H995 ? is their wisdom H2451 vanished H5628 ?
|
|
8. Flee, turn, go deep to dwell, ye inhabitants of Dedan, For the calamity of Esau I brought in upon him, The time I inspected him.
|
8. Flee H5127 ye , turn back H6437 , dwell H3427 deep H6009 , O inhabitants H3427 of Dedan H1719 ; for H3588 I will bring H935 the calamity H343 of Esau H6215 upon H5921 him , the time H6256 that I will visit H6485 him.
|
|
9. If gatherers have come in to thee, They do not leave gleanings, If thieves in the night, They have destroyed their sufficiency!
|
9. If H518 grape gatherers H1219 come H935 to thee , would they not H3808 leave H7604 some gleaning grapes H5955 ? if H518 thieves H1590 by night H3915 , they will destroy H7843 till they have enough H1767 .
|
|
10. For I -- I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to be hidden he is not able, Spoiled is his seed, and his brethren, And his neighbours, and he is not.
|
10. But H3588 I H589 have made H853 Esau H6215 bare H2834 , I have uncovered H1540 H853 his secret places H4565 , and he shall not H3808 be able H3201 to hide himself H2247 : his seed H2233 is spoiled H7703 , and his brethren H251 , and his neighbors H7934 , and he is not H369 .
|
|
11. Leave thine orphans -- I do keep alive, And thy widows -- on Me trust ye,
|
11. Leave H5800 thy fatherless children H3490 , I H589 will preserve them alive H2421 ; and let thy widows H490 trust H982 in H5921 me.
|
|
12. For thus said Jehovah: They whose judgment is not to drink of the cup, Do certainly drink, And thou art he that is entirely acquitted! Thou art not acquitted, for thou certainly drinkest.
|
12. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Behold H2009 , they whose H834 judgment H4941 was not H369 to drink H8354 of the cup H3563 have assuredly drunken H8354 H8354 ; and art thou H859 he H1931 that shall altogether go unpunished H5352 H5352 ? thou shalt not H3808 go unpunished H5352 , but H3588 thou shalt surely drink H8354 H8354 of it .
|
|
13. For, by Myself, I have sworn, An affirmation of Jehovah, That for a desolation, for a reproach, For a waste, and for a reviling -- is Bozrah, And all her cities are for wastes age-during.
|
13. For H3588 I have sworn H7650 by myself, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that H3588 Bozrah H1224 shall become H1961 a desolation H8047 , a reproach H2781 , a waste H2721 , and a curse H7045 ; and all H3605 the cities H5892 thereof shall be H1961 perpetual H5769 wastes H2723 .
|
|
14. A report I have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations is sent, Gather yourselves and come in against her, And rise ye for battle.
|
14. I have heard H8085 a rumor H8052 from H4480 H854 the LORD H3068 , and an ambassador H6735 is sent H7971 unto the heathen H1471 , saying , Gather ye together H6908 , and come H935 against H5921 her , and rise up H6965 to the battle H4421 .
|
|
15. For, lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised among men.
|
15. For H3588 , lo H2009 , I will make H5414 thee small H6996 among the heathen H1471 , and despised H959 among men H120 .
|
|
16. Thy terribleness hath lifted thee up, The pride of thy heart, O dweller in clefts of the rock, Holding the high place of the height, For thou makest high as an eagle thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.
|
16. Thy terribleness H8606 hath deceived H5377 thee, and the pride H2087 of thine heart H3820 , O thou that dwellest H7931 in the clefts H2288 of the rock H5553 , that holdest H8610 the height H4791 of the hill H1389 : though H3588 thou shouldest make thy nest H7064 as high H1361 as the eagle H5404 , I will bring thee down H3381 from thence H4480 H8033 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
17. And Edom hath been for a desolation, Every passer by her is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.
|
17. Also Edom H123 shall be H1961 a desolation H8047 : every one H3605 that goeth H5674 by H5921 it shall be astonished H8074 , and shall hiss H8319 at H5921 all H3605 the plagues H4347 thereof.
|
|
18. As the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And its neighbours, said Jehovah, No one doth dwell there, Nor sojourn in her doth a son of man.
|
18. As in the overthrow H4114 of Sodom H5467 and Gomorrah H6017 and the neighbor H7934 cities thereof, saith H559 the LORD H3068 , no H3808 man H376 shall abide H3427 there H8033 , neither H3808 shall a son H1121 of man H120 dwell H1481 in it.
|
|
19. Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? concerning her I lay a charge, For who is like Me? and who conveneth Me? And who is this shepherd who standeth before Me?
|
19. Behold H2009 , he shall come up H5927 like a lion H738 from the swelling H4480 H1347 of Jordan H3383 against H413 the habitation H5116 of the strong H386 : but H3588 I will suddenly H7280 make him run away H7323 from H4480 H5921 her : and who H4310 is a chosen H977 man, that I may appoint H6485 over H413 her? for H3588 who H4310 is like me H3644 ? and who H4310 will appoint H3259 me the time? and who H4310 is that H2088 shepherd H7462 that H834 will stand H5975 before H6440 me?
|
|
20. Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He hath counselled concerning Edom, And His devices that He hath devised Concerning the inhabitants of Teman: Drag them out do not little ones of the flock, Make desolate over them doth he not their habitation?
|
20. Therefore H3651 hear H8085 the counsel H6098 of the LORD H3068 , that H834 he hath taken H3289 against H413 Edom H123 ; and his purposes H4284 , that H834 he hath purposed H2803 against H413 the inhabitants H3427 of Teman H8487 : Surely H518 H3808 the least H6810 of the flock H6629 shall draw them out H5498 : surely H518 H3808 he shall make their habitations H5116 desolate H8074 with H5921 them.
|
|
21. From the noise of their fall hath the earth shaken, The cry -- at the sea of Suph is its voice heard.
|
21. The earth H776 is moved H7493 at the noise H4480 H6963 of their fall H5307 , at the cry H6818 the noise H6963 thereof was heard H8085 in the Red H5488 sea H3220 .
|
|
22. Lo, as an eagle he cometh up, and flieth, And he spreadeth his wings over Bozrah, And the heart of the mighty of Edom hath been in that day, As the heart of a distressed woman!`
|
22. Behold H2009 , he shall come up H5927 and fly H1675 as the eagle H5404 , and spread H6566 his wings H3671 over H5921 Bozrah H1224 : and at that H1931 day H3117 shall the heart H3820 of the mighty men H1368 of Edom H123 be H1961 as the heart H3820 of a woman H802 in her pangs H6887 .
|
|
23. Concerning Damascus: Ashamed hath been Hamath and Arpad, For an evil report they have heard, They have been melted, in the sea is sorrow, To be quiet it is not able.
|
23. Concerning Damascus H1834 . Hamath H2574 is confounded H954 , and Arpad H774 : for H3588 they have heard H8085 evil H7451 tidings H8052 : they are fainthearted H4127 ; there is sorrow H1674 on the sea H3220 ; it cannot H3808 H3201 be quiet H8252 .
|
|
24. Feeble hath been Damascus, She turned to flee, and fear strengthened her, Distress and pangs have seized her, as a travailing woman.
|
24. Damascus H1834 is waxed feeble H7503 , and turneth herself H6437 to flee H5127 , and fear H7374 hath seized H2388 on her : anguish H6869 and sorrows H2256 have taken H270 her , as a woman in travail H3205 .
|
|
25. How is it not left -- the city of praise, The city of my joy!
|
25. How H349 is the city H5892 of praise H8416 not H3808 left H5800 , the city H7151 of my joy H4885 !
|
|
26. Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And all the men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
|
26. Therefore H3651 her young men H970 shall fall H5307 in her streets H7339 , and all H3605 the men H376 of war H4421 shall be cut off H1826 in that H1931 day H3117 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 .
|
|
27. And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Damascus, And it consumed palaces of Ben-Hadad!`
|
27. And I will kindle H3341 a fire H784 in the wall H2346 of Damascus H1834 , and it shall consume H398 the palaces H759 of Ben H1130 -hadad.
|
|
28. Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten: `Thus said Jehovah: Arise ye, go ye up unto Kedar, And spoil the sons of the east.
|
28. Concerning Kedar H6938 , and concerning the kingdoms H4467 of Hazor H2674 , which H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 shall smite H5221 , thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Arise H6965 ye , go up H5927 to H413 Kedar H6938 , and spoil H7703 H853 the men H1121 of the east H6924 .
|
|
29. Their tents and their flock they do take, Their curtains, and all their vessels, And their camels, they bear away for themselves, And they called concerning them, Fear is round about.
|
29. Their tents H168 and their flocks H6629 shall they take away H3947 : they shall take H5375 to themselves their curtains H3407 , and all H3605 their vessels H3627 , and their camels H1581 ; and they shall cry H7121 unto H5921 them, Fear H4032 is on every side H4480 H5439 .
|
|
30. Flee, bemoan mightily, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor -- an affirmation of Jehovah, For given counsel against you hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Yea, he deviseth against them a device.
|
30. Flee H5127 , get H5110 you far off H3966 , dwell H3427 deep H6009 , O ye inhabitants H3427 of Hazor H2674 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 ; for H3588 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 hath taken H3289 counsel H6098 against H5921 you , and hath conceived H2803 a purpose H4284 against H5921 you.
|
|
31. Rise ye, go up unto a nation at rest, Dwelling confidently, an affirmation of Jehovah, It hath no two-leaved doors nor bar, Alone they do dwell.
|
31. Arise H6965 , get you up H5927 unto H413 the wealthy H7961 nation H1471 , that dwelleth H3427 without care H983 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , which have neither H3808 gates H1817 nor H3808 bars H1280 , which dwell H7931 alone H910 .
|
|
32. And their camels have been for a prey, And the multitude of their cattle for a spoil, And I have scattered them to every wind, Who cut off the corner of the beard, And from all its passages I bring in their calamity, An affirmation of Jehovah.
|
32. And their camels H1581 shall be H1961 a booty H957 , and the multitude H1995 of their cattle H4735 a spoil H7998 : and I will scatter H2219 into all H3605 winds H7307 them that are in the utmost H7112 corners H6285 ; and I will bring H935 H853 their calamity H343 from all H4480 H3605 sides H5676 thereof, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
33. And Hazor hath been for a habitation of dragons, A desolation -- unto the age, No one doth dwell there, nor sojourn in it doth a son of man!`
|
33. And Hazor H2674 shall be H1961 a dwelling H4583 for dragons H8577 , and a desolation H8077 forever H5704 H5769 : there shall no H3808 man H376 abide H3427 there H8033 , nor H3808 any son H1121 of man H120 dwell H1481 in it.
|
|
34. That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:
|
34. The word H1697 of the LORD H3068 that H834 came H1961 to H413 Jeremiah H3414 the prophet H5030 against H413 Elam H5867 in the beginning H7225 of the reign H4438 of Zedekiah H6667 king H4428 of Judah H3063 , saying H559 ,
|
|
35. `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am breaking the bow of Elam, The beginning of their might.
|
35. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 ; Behold H2009 , I will break H7665 H853 the bow H7198 of Elam H5867 , the chief H7225 of their might H1369 .
|
|
36. And I have brought in to Elam four winds, From the four ends of the heavens, And have scattered them to all these winds, And there is no nation whither outcasts of Elam come not in.
|
36. And upon H413 Elam H5867 will I bring H935 the four H702 winds H7307 from the four H4480 H702 quarters H7098 of heaven H8064 , and will scatter H2219 them toward all H3605 those H428 winds H7307 ; and there shall be H1961 no H3808 nation H1471 whither H834 H8033 the outcasts H5080 of Elam H5867 shall not H3808 come H935 .
|
|
37. And I have affrighted Elam before their enemies, And before those seeking their life, And I have brought in against them evil, The heat of Mine anger, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent after them the sword, Till I have consumed them;
|
37. For I will cause H853 Elam H5867 to be dismayed H2865 before H6440 their enemies H341 , and before H6440 them that seek H1245 their life H5315 : and I will bring H935 evil H7451 upon H5921 them, even H853 my fierce H2740 anger H639 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 ; and I will send H7971 H853 the sword H2719 after H310 them, till H5704 I have consumed H3615 them:
|
|
38. And I have set My throne in Elam, And I have destroyed thence King and princes -- an affirmation of Jehovah.
|
38. And I will set H7760 my throne H3678 in Elam H5867 , and will destroy H6 from thence H4480 H8033 the king H4428 and the princes H8269 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
39. And it hath come to pass, in the latter end of the days, I turn back to the captivity of Elam, An affirmation of Jehovah!`
|
39. But it shall come to pass H1961 in the latter H319 days H3117 , that I will bring again H7725 H853 the captivity H7622 of Elam H5867 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
