Jeremiah 49:21 (RSV) Revised Standard Version

1 Concerning 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?
2 Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says 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.
3 "Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry, O daughters of Rabbah! Gird yourselves with sackcloth, lament, and run to and fro among the hedges! For Milcom shall go into exile, with his priests and his princes.
4 Why do you boast of your valleys, O faithless daughter, who trusted in her treasures, saying, `Who will come against me?'
5 Behold, I will bring terror upon you, says the Lord GOD of hosts, from all who are round about you, and you shall be driven out, every man straight before him, with none to gather the fugitives.
6 But afterward I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites, says the LORD."
7 Concerning Edom. Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Is wisdom no more in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished?
8 Flee, 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.
9 If grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings? If thieves came by night, would they not destroy only enough for themselves?
10 But 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.
11 Leave your fatherless children, I will keep them alive; and let your widows trust in me."
12 For 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.
13 For I have sworn by myself, says the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a horror, a taunt, a waste, and a curse; and all her cities shall be perpetual wastes."
14 I have heard tidings from the LORD, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: "Gather yourselves together and come against her, and rise up for battle!"
15 For behold, I will make you small among the nations, despised among men.
16 The 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, says the LORD.
17 "Edom shall become a horror; every one who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss because of all its disasters.
18 As when Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbor cities were overthrown, says the LORD, no man shall dwell there, no man shall sojourn in her.
19 Behold, like a lion coming up from the jungle of the Jordan against a strong sheepfold, I will suddenly make them 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?
20 Therefore hear the plan which the LORD has made against Edom and the purposes which 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.
21 At the sound of their fall the earth shall tremble; the sound of their cry shall be heard at the Red Sea.
22 Behold, 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 pangs."
23 Concerning Damascus. "Hamath and Arpad are confounded, for they have heard evil tidings; they melt in fear, they are troubled like the sea which cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus has become feeble, she turned to flee, and panic seized her; anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
25 How the famous city is forsaken, the joyful city!
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her squares, and all her soldiers shall be destroyed in that day, says the LORD of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the strongholds of Benhadad."
28 Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote. Thus says the LORD: "Rise up, advance against Kedar! Destroy the people of the east!
29 Their tents and their flocks shall be taken, their curtains and all their goods; their camels shall be borne away from them, and men shall cry to them: `Terror on every side!'
30 Flee, wander far away, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Hazor! says the LORD. For Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has made a plan against you, and formed a purpose against you.
31 "Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, that dwells securely, says the LORD, that has no gates or bars, that dwells alone.
32 Their camels shall become booty, their herds of cattle a spoil. I will scatter to every wind those who cut the corners of their hair, and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, says the LORD.
33 Hazor shall become a haunt of jackals, an everlasting waste; no man shall dwell there, no man shall sojourn in her."
34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah.
35 Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the mainstay of their might;
36 and I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven; and I will scatter them to all those winds, and there shall be no nation to which those driven out of Elam shall not come.
37 I will terrify Elam before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; I will bring evil upon them, my fierce anger, says the LORD. I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;
38 and I will set my throne in Elam, and destroy their king and princes, says the LORD.
39 "But in the latter days I will restore the fortunes of Elam, says the LORD."
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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 H5800 thy fatherless children, H3490 I H589 will preserve them alive; H2421 and let thy widows H490 trust H982 in H5921 me.
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 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 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 H3588 , lo, H2009 I will make H5414 thee small H6996 among the heathen, H1471 and despised H959 among men. H120
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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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 H349 is the city H5892 of praise H8416 not H3808 left, H5800 the city H7151 of my joy H4885 !
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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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
