Jeremiah 49 (kjv)

Concerning the Ammonites^{H1121 H5983}, thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; Hath Israel^H3478 no sons^H1121? hath he no heir^H3423? why then doth their king^H4428 inherit^H3423 Gad^H1410, and his people^H5971 dwell^H3427 in his cities^H5892?²Therefore, behold, 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 Rabbah^H7237 of the Ammonites^{H1121 H5983}; and it shall be 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 his heirs^H3423, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.³Howl^H3213, O Heshbon^H2809, for 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 their king^H4428 shall go^H3212 into captivity^H1473, and his priests^H3548 and his princes^H8269 together^H3162.⁴Wherefore 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 shall come^H935 unto me?⁵Behold, I will bring^H935 a fear^H6343 upon thee, saith^H5002 the Lord^H136 GOD^H3069 of hosts^H6635, from all those that be about^H5439 thee; and ye shall be driven out^H5080 every man^H376 right forth^H6440; and none shall gather up^H6908 him that wandereth^H5074.

⁶And afterward^H310 I will bring again^H7725 the captivity^H7622 of the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

⁷Concerning Edom^H123, thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Is wisdom^H2451 no more in Teman^H8487? is counsel^H6098 perished^H6 from the prudent^H995? is their wisdom^H2451 vanished^H5628?⁸Flee^H5127 ye, turn back^H6437, dwell^H3427 deep^H6009, O inhabitants^H3427 of Dedan^H1719; for I will bring^H935 the calamity^H343 of Esau^H6215 upon him, the time^H6256 that I will visit^H6485 him.⁹If grapegatherers^H1219 come^H935 to thee, would they not leave^H7604 some gleaning grapes^H5955? if thieves^H1590 by night^H3915, they will destroy^H7843 till they have enough^H1767.¹⁰But I have made Esau^H6215 bare^H2834, I have uncovered^H1540 his secret places^H4565, and he shall not be able^H3201 to hide^H2247 himself: his seed^H2233 is spoiled^H7703, and his brethren^H251, and his neighbours^H7934, and he is not.¹¹Leave^H5800 thy fatherless children^H3490, I will preserve them alive^H2421; and let thy widows^H490 trust^H982 in me.¹²For thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; Behold, they whose judgment^H4941 was not to drink^H8354 of the cup^H3563 have assuredly^H8354 drunken^H8354; and art thou he that shall altogether^H5352 go unpunished^H5352? thou shalt not go unpunished^H5352, but thou shalt surely^H8354 drink^H8354 of it.¹³For I have sworn^H7650 by myself, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, that Bozrah^H1224 shall become a desolation^H8047, a reproach^H2781, a waste^H2721, and a curse^H7045; and all the cities^H5892 thereof shall be perpetual^H5769 wastes^H2723.¹⁴I have heard^H8085 a rumour^H8052 from the LORD^H3068, and an ambassador^H6735 is sent^H7971 unto the heathen^H1471, saying, Gather ye together^H6908, and come^H935 against her, and rise up^H6965 to the battle^H4421.¹⁵For, lo, I will make^H5414 thee small^H6996 among the heathen^H1471, and despised^H959 among men^H120.¹⁶Thy 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 thou shouldest make thy nest^H7064 as high^H1361 as the eagle^H5404, I will bring thee down^H3381 from thence, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.¹⁷Also Edom^H123 shall be a desolation^H8047: every one that goeth^H5674 by it shall be astonished^H8074, and shall hiss^H8319 at all the plagues^H4347 thereof.¹⁸As in the overthrow^H4114 of Sodom^H5467 and Gomorrah^H6017 and the neighbour^H7934 cities thereof, saith^H559 the LORD^H3068, no man^H376 shall abide^H3427 there, neither shall a son^H1121 of man^H120 dwell^H1481 in it.¹⁹Behold, he shall come up^H5927 like a lion^H738 from the swelling^H1347 of Jordan^H3383 against the habitation^H5116 of the strong^H386: but I will suddenly^H7280 make him run away^H7323 from her: and who is a chosen^H977 man, that I may appoint^H6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time^H3259? and who is that shepherd^H7462 that will stand^H5975 before^H6440 me?²⁰Therefore hear^H8085 the counsel^H6098 of the LORD^H3068, that he hath taken^H3289 against Edom^H123; and his purposes^H4284, that he hath purposed^H2803 against the inhabitants^H3427 of Teman^H8487: Surely the least^H6810 of the flock^H6629 shall draw them out^H5498: surely he shall make their habitations^H5116 desolate^H8074 with them.²¹The earth^H776 is moved^H7493 at the noise^H6963 of their fall^H5307, at the cry^H6818 the noise^H6963 thereof was heard^H8085 in the Red^H5488 sea^H3220.²²Behold, he shall come up^H5927 and fly^H1675 as the eagle^H5404, and spread^H6566 his wings^H3671 over Bozrah^H1224: and at that day^H3117 shall the heart^H3820 of the mighty men^H1368 of Edom^H123 be as the heart^H3820 of a woman^H802 in her pangs^H6887.

²³Concerning Damascus^H1834. Hamath^H2574 is confounded^H954, and Arpad^H774: for they have heard^H8085 evil^H7451 tidings^H8052: they are fainthearted^H4127; there is sorrow^H1674 on the sea^H3220; it cannot^H3201 be quiet^H8252.²⁴Damascus^H1834 is waxed feeble^H7503, and turneth^H6437 herself 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^H3205.²⁵How is the city^H5892 of praise^H8416 not left^H5800, the city^H7151 of my joy^H4885!²⁶Therefore her young men^H970 shall fall^H5307 in her streets^H7339, and all the men^H582 of war^H4421 shall be cut off^H1826 in that day^H3117, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635.²⁷And I will kindle^H3341 a fire^H784 in the wall^H2346 of Damascus^H1834, and it shall consume^H398 the palaces^H759 of Benhadad^H1130.

²⁸Concerning Kedar^H6938, and concerning the kingdoms^H4467 of Hazor^H2674, which Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 shall smite^H5221, thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068; Arise^H6965 ye, go up^H5927 to Kedar^H6938, and spoil^H7703 the men^H1121 of the east^H6924.²⁹Their tents^H168 and their flocks^H6629 shall they take away^H3947: they shall take^H5375 to themselves their curtains^H3407, and all their vessels^H3627, and their camels^H1581; and they shall cry^H7121 unto them, Fear^H4032 is on every side^H5439.

³⁰Flee^H5127, get^H5110 you far off^H3966, dwell^H3427 deep^H6009, O ye inhabitants^H3427 of Hazor^H2674, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; for Nebuchadrezzar^H5019 king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 hath taken counsel^{H6098 H3289} against you, and hath conceived^H2803 a purpose^H4284 against you.³¹Arise^H6965, get you up^H5927 unto the wealthy^H7961 nation^H1471, that dwelleth^H3427 without care^H983, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068, which have neither gates^H1817 nor bars^H1280, which dwell^H7931 alone^H910.³²And their camels^H1581 shall be a booty^H957, and the multitude^H1995 of their cattle^H4735 a spoil^H7998: and I will scatter^H2219 into all winds^H7307 them that are in the utmost^H7112 corners^H6285; and I will bring^H935 their calamity^H343 from all sides^H5676 thereof, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.³³And Hazor^H2674 shall be a dwelling^H4583 for dragons^H8577, and a desolation^H8077 for^H5704 ever^H5769: there shall no man^H376 abide^H3427 there, nor any son^H1121 of man^H120 dwell^H1481 in it.

³⁴The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 that came to Jeremiah^H3414 the prophet^H5030 against Elam^H5867 in the beginning^H7225 of the reign^H4438 of Zedekiah^H6667 king^H4428 of Judah^H3063, saying^H559,³⁵Thus saith^H559 the LORD^H3068 of hosts^H6635; Behold, I will break^H7665 the bow^H7198 of Elam^H5867, the chief^H7225 of their might^H1369.³⁶And upon Elam^H5867 will I bring^H935 the four^H702 winds^H7307 from the four^H702 quarters^H7098 of heaven^H8064, and will scatter^H2219 them toward all those winds^H7307; and there shall be no nation^H1471 whither the outcasts^H5080 of Elam^{H5867 H5769} shall not come^H935.³⁷For I will cause 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 them, even my fierce^H2740 anger^H639, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068; and I will send^H7971 the sword^H2719 after^H310 them, till I have consumed^H3615 them:³⁸And I will set^H7760 my throne^H3678 in Elam^H5867, and will destroy^H6 from thence the king^H4428 and the princes^H8269, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.

³⁹But it shall come to pass in the latter^H319 days^H3117, that I will bring again^{H7725 H7725} the captivity^{H7622 H7622} of Elam^H5867, saith^H5002 the LORD^H3068.
