chapter 49
1
Against
the children of Ammon. Thus saith the Lord: Hath Israel no sons? or hath he no
heir? Why then hath Melchom inherited Gad: and his people dwelt in his cities ?
2 Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I
will cause the noise of war to be heard in Rabbath of the children of Ammon,
and it shall be destroyed into a heap, and her daughters shall be burnt with
fire, and Israel shall possess them that have possessed him, saith the Lord.
3 Howl, O Hesebon, for Hai is wasted. Cry, ye daughters
of Rabbath, gird yourselves with haircloth: mourn and go about by the hedges:
for Melchom shall be carried into captivity, his priests, and his princes
together.
4 Why gloriest thou in the valleys? thy valley hath
flowed away, O delicate daughter, that hast trusted in thy treasures, and hast
said: Who shall come to me?
5 Behold I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord
God of hosts, from all that are round about thee: and you shall be scattered
every one out of one another's sight, neither shall there be any to gather
together them that flee.
6 And afterwards I will cause the captives of the
children of Ammon to return, saith the Lord.
7 Against Edom. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Is wisdom
no more in Theman? counsel is perished from her children: their wisdom is
become unprofitable.
8 Flee and turn your backs, go down into the deep hole,
ye inhabitants of Dedan: for I have brought the destruction of Esau upon him,
the time of his visitation.
9 If grapegatherers had come to thee, would they not
have left a bunch? if thieves in the night, they would have taken what was
enough for them.
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have revealed his
secrets, and he cannot be hid: his seed is laid waste, and his brethren, and
his neighbours, and he shall not be.
11 Leave thy fatherless children: I will make them
live: and thy widows shall hope in me.
12 For thus saith the Lord: Behold they whose judgment
was not to drink of the cup, shall certainly drink: and shalt thou come off as
innocent? thou shalt not come off as innocent, but drinking thou shalt drink.
13 For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that
Bosra shall become a desolation, and a reproach, and a desert, and a curse: and
all her cities shall be everlasting wastes.
14 I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an
ambassador is sent to the nations: Gather yourselves together, and come against
her, and let us rise up to battle.
15 For behold I have made thee a little one among the
nations, despicable among men.
16 Thy arrogancy hath deceived thee, and the pride of
thy heart: O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, and endeavourest to
lay hold on the height of the hill : but though thou shouldst make thy nest as
high as an eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
17 And Edom shall be desolate: every one that shall
pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.
18 As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha, and the
neighbours thereof, saith the Lord: there shall not a man dwell there, and
there shall no son of man inhabit it.
19 Behold one shall come up as a lion from the swelling
of the Jordan, against the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run
suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her?
for who is like to m? and who shall abide me? and who is that shepherd that can
withstand my countenance?
20 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he
hath taken concerning Edom: and his thoughts which he hath thought concerning
the inhabitants of Theman: surely the little ones of the flock shall cast them
down, of a truth they shall destroy them with their habitation.
21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall: the
cry of their voice is heard in the Red Sea.
22 Behold he shall come up as an eagle, and fly: and he
shall spread his wings over Bosra: and in that day the heart of the valiant
ones of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in labour.
23 Against Damascus. Emath is confounded and Arphad:
for they have heard very bad tidings, they are troubled as in the sea: through
care they could not rest.
24 Damascus is undone, she is put to flight, trembling
hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her as a woman in labour.
25 How have they forsaken the city of renown, the city
of joy !
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets:
and all the men of war shall be silent in that day, saith the Lord of hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus,
rind it shall devour the strong holds of Benadad.
28 Against Cedar and against the kingdoms of Asor,
which Nabuchodonouor king of Babylon destroyed. Thus saith the Lord: Arise, and
go ye up to Cedar, and waste the children of the east.
29 They shall take their tents, and their flocks: and
shall carry off for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their
camels: and they shall call fear upon them round about.
30 Flee ye, get away speedily, sit in deep holes, you
that inhabit Asur, saith the Lord: for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath
taken counsel against you, and hath conceived designs against you.
31 Arise, and so up to a nation that is at ease, and
that dwelleth securely, saith the Lord: they have neither gates, nor bars: they
dwell alone.
32 And their camels shall be for a spoil, and the
multitude of their cattle for a booty, and I will scatter into every wind them
that have their hair cut round, and I will bring destruction upon them from I
all their confines, saith the Lord.
33 And Asor shall be a habitation for dragons, desolate
for ever: no man shall abide there, nor son of man inhabit it.
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the
prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Sedecias king of Juda,
saying:
35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will break
the bow of Elam, and their chief strength.
36 And I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the
fear quarters of heaven: and I will scatter them into all these winds: and
there shall be no nation, to which the fugitives of Elam shall not come.
37 And I will cause Elam to be afraid before their
enemies, and in the sight of them that seek their life: and I will bring evil
upon them, my fierce wrath, saith the Lord : and will send the sword after
them, till I consume them.
38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and destroy kings
and princes from thence, saith the Lord.
39 But in the latter days I will cause the captives of
Elam, to return, saith the Lord.
