Book 24 : JEREMIAH - Chapter 049
049:001
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites;
and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be
burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that
were his heirs, saith the LORD
049:002
Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of
Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by
the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his
priests and his princes together
049:003
Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O
backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying,
Who shall come unto me
049:004
Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of
hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be
driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him
that wandereth
049:005
And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children
of Ammon, saith the LORD
049:006
Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no
more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their
wisdom vanished
049:007
Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I
will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will
visit him
049:008
If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some
gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till
they have enough
049:009
But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places,
and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled,
and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not
049:010
Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and
let thy widows trust in me
049:011
For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not
to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he
that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go
unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it
049:012
For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall
become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all
the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes
049:013
I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent
unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against
her, and rise up to the battle
049:014
For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and
despised among men
049:015
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine
heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that
holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy
nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence,
saith the LORD
049:016
Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it
shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues
thereof
049:017
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour
cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there,
neither shall a son of man dwell in it
049:018
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of
Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will
suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man,
that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will
appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand
before me
049:019
Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken
against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against
the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall
draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate
with them
049:020
The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the
noise thereof was heard in the Red sea
049:021
Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his
wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the
mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs
049:022
Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they
have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is
sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet
049:023
Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and
fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her,
as a woman in travail
049:024
How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy
049:025
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the
men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of
hosts
049:026
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall
consume the palaces of Benhadad
049:027
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the
LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east
049:028
Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall
take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and
their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every
side
049:029
Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor,
saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken
counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you
049:030
Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth
without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor
bars, which dwell alone
049:031
And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their
cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that
are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity
from all sides thereof, saith the LORD
049:032
And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation
for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man
dwell in it
049:033
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against
Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah,
saying
049:034
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of
Elam, the chief of their might
049:035
And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four
quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those
winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of
Elam shall not come
049:036
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and
before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon
them, even my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send
the sword after them, till I have consumed them
049:037
And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence
the king and the princes, saith the LORD
049:038
But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will
bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD
