World English Bible Classic
[1] Of the children of Ammon. Yahweh says:
“Has Israel no sons?
Has he no heir?
Why then does Malcam possess Gad,
and his people dwell in its cities?
[2] Therefore behold, the days come,”
says Yahweh,
“that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon,
and it will become a desolate heap,
and her daughters will be burned with fire;
then Israel will possess those who possessed him,”
says Yahweh.
[3] “Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste!
Cry, you daughters of Rabbah!
Clothe yourself in sackcloth.
Lament, and run back and forth among the fences;
for Malcam will go into captivity,
his priests and his princes together.
[4] Why do you boast in the valleys,
your flowing valley, backsliding daughter?
You trusted in her treasures,
saying, ‘Who will come to me?’
[5] Behold, I will bring a terror on you,”
says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies,
“from all who are around you.
All of you will be driven completely out,
and there will be no one to gather together the fugitives.
[6] “But afterward I will reverse the captivity of the children of Ammon,”
says Yahweh.
[7] Of Edom, Yahweh of Armies says:
“Is wisdom no more in Teman?
Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom vanished?
[8] Flee! Turn back!
Dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan;
for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him when I visit him.
[9] If grape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
If thieves came by night,
wouldn’t they steal until they had enough?
[10] But I have made Esau bare,
I have uncovered his secret places,
and he will not be able to hide himself.
His offspring is destroyed,
with his brothers and his neighbors;
and he is no more.
[11] Leave your fatherless children.
I will preserve them alive.
Let your widows trust in me.”
[12] For Yahweh says: “Behold, they to whom it didn’t pertain to drink of the cup will certainly drink; and are you he who will altogether go unpunished? You won’t go unpunished, but you will surely drink. [13] For I have sworn by myself,” says Yahweh, “that Bozrah will become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse. All its cities will be perpetual wastes.”
[14] I have heard news from Yahweh,
and an ambassador is sent among the nations,
saying, “Gather yourselves together!
Come against her!
Rise up to the battle!”
[15] “For, behold, I have made you small among the nations,
and despised among men.
[16] As for your terror,
the pride of your heart has deceived you,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
who hold the height of the hill,
though you should make your nest as high as the eagle,
I will bring you down from there,” says Yahweh.
[17] “Edom will become an astonishment.
Everyone who passes by it will be astonished,
and will hiss at all its plagues.
[18] As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbor cities,” says Yahweh,
“no man will dwell there,
neither will any son of man live therein.
[19] “Behold, he will come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation;
for I will suddenly make them run away from it,
and whoever is chosen,
I will appoint him over it.
For who is like me?
Who will appoint me a time?
Who is the shepherd who will stand before me?”
[20] Therefore hear the counsel of Yahweh, that he has taken against Edom,
and his purposes that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely they will drag them away,
the little ones of the flock.
Surely he will make their habitation desolate over them.
[21] The earth trembles at the noise of their fall;
there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea.
[22] Behold, he will come up and fly as the eagle,
and spread out his wings against Bozrah.
The heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
[23] Of Damascus:
“Hamath and Arpad are confounded,
for they have heard evil news.
They have melted away.
There is sorrow on the sea.
It can’t be quiet.
[24] Damascus has grown feeble,
she turns herself to flee,
and trembling has seized her.
Anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her,
as of a woman in travail.
[25] How is the city of praise not forsaken,
the city of my joy?
[26] Therefore her young men will fall in her streets,
and all the men of war will be brought to silence in that day,”
says Yahweh of Armies.
[27] “I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus,
and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.”
[28] Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck, Yahweh says:
“Arise, go up to Kedar,
and destroy the children of the east.
[29] They will take their tents and their flocks.
they will carry away for themselves their curtains,
all their vessels, and their camels;
and they will cry to them, ‘Terror on every side!’
[30] Flee!
Wander far off!
Dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor,” says Yahweh;
“for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you,
and has conceived a purpose against you.
[31] Arise! Go up to a nation that is at ease,
that dwells without care,” says Yahweh;
“that has neither gates nor bars,
that dwells alone.
[32] Their camels will be a booty,
and the multitude of their livestock a plunder.
I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off;
and I will bring their calamity from every side of them,”
says Yahweh.
[33] Hazor will be a dwelling place of jackals,
a desolation forever.
No man will dwell there,
neither will any son of man live therein.”
[34] Yahweh’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, [35] “Yahweh of Armies says:
‘Behold, I will break the bow of Elam,
the chief of their might.
[36] I will bring on Elam the four winds from the four quarters of the sky,
and will scatter them toward all those winds.
There will be no nation where the outcasts of Elam will not come.
[37] I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies,
and before those who seek their life.
I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger,’ says Yahweh;
‘and I will send the sword after them,
until I have consumed them.
[38] I will set my throne in Elam,
and will destroy from there king and princes,’ says Yahweh.
[39] ‘But it will happen in the latter days
that I will reverse the captivity of Elam,’ says Yahweh.”
King James Version

Ammon

[1] Concerning§ the Ammonites, H1121 thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord; H3068 Hath Israel H3478 no sons? H1121 hath he no heir? H3423 (QalActPtc) why then doth their king§ H4428 inherit H3423 (QalPerf) Gad, H1410 and his people H5971 dwell H3427 (QalPerf) in his cities? H5892
[2] Therefore, behold, the days H3117 come, H935 (QalActPtc) saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord, H3068 that I will cause an alarm H8643 of war H4421 to be heard H8085 (HiphPerf) in Rabbah H7237 of the Ammonites; H1121 and it shall be a desolate H8077 heap, H8510 and her daughters H1323 shall be burned H3341 (QalImpf) with fire: H784 then shall Israel H3478 be heir H3423 (QalPerf) unto them that were his heirs, H3423 (QalActPtc) saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord. H3068 [3] Howl, H3213 (HiphImpv) O Heshbon, H2809 for Ai H5857 is spoiled: H7703 (PualPerf) cry, H6817 (QalImpv) ye daughters H1323 of Rabbah, H7237 gird H2296 (QalImpv) you with sackcloth; H8242 lament, H5594 (QalImpv) and run to and fro H7751 (HiplImpv) by the hedges; H1448 for their king H4428§ shall go H3212 (QalImpf) into captivity, H1473 and his priests H3548 and his princes H8269 together. H3162 [4] Wherefore gloriest H1984 (HithImpf) thou in the valleys, H6010 thy flowing H2100 (QalActPtc) valley, H6010§ O backsliding H7728 daughter? H1323 that trusted H982 (QalActPtc) in her treasures, H214 saying, Who shall come H935 (QalImpf) unto me? [5] Behold, I will bring H935 (HiphPtc) a fear H6343 upon thee, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H136 God H3069 of hosts, H6635 from all those that be about H5439 thee; and ye shall be driven out H5080 (NiphPerf) every man H376 right forth; H6440 and none shall gather up H6908 (PielPtc) him that wandereth. H5074 (QalActPtc) [6] And afterward H310 I will bring again H7725 (HiphImpf) the captivity H7622 of the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord. H3068

Edom

[7] Concerning Edom, H123 thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts; H6635 Is wisdom H2451 no more in Teman? H8487 is counsel H6098 perished H6 (QalPerf) from the prudent? H995 (QalPtc) is their wisdom H2451 vanished? H5628 (NiphPerf)
[8] Flee H5127 (QalImpv) ye, turn back, H6437 (HophPerf)§ dwell H3427 (QalInf) deep, H6009 (HiphPerf) O inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Dedan; H1719 for I will bring H935 (HiphPerf) the calamity H343 of Esau H6215 upon him, the time H6256 that I will visit H6485 (QalPerf) him. [9] If grapegatherers H1219 (QalActPtc) come H935 (QalPerf) to thee, would they not leave H7604 (HiphImpf) some gleaning grapes? H5955 if thieves H1590 by night, H3915 they will destroy H7843 (HiphPerf) till they have enough. H1767§ [10] But I have made Esau H6215 bare, H2834 (QalPerf) I have uncovered H1540 (PielPerf) his secret places, H4565 and he shall not be able H3201 (QalImpf) to hide H2247 (NiphInf) himself: his seed H2233 is spoiled, H7703 (PualPerf) and his brethren, H251 and his neighbours, H7934 and he is not. [11] Leave H5800 (QalImpv) thy fatherless children, H3490 I will preserve them alive; H2421 (PielImpf) and let thy widows H490 trust H982 (QalImpf) in me. [12] For thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord; H3068 Behold, they whose judgment H4941 was not to drink H8354 (QalInf) of the cup H3563 have assuredly H8354 (QalInf) drunken; H8354 (QalImpf) and art thou he that shall altogether H5352 (QalInf) go unpunished? H5352 (NiphImpf) thou shalt not go unpunished, H5352 (NiphImpf) but thou shalt surely H8354 (QalInf) drink H8354 (QalImpf) of it. [13] For I have sworn H7650 (NiphPerf) by myself, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) 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 [14] I have heard H8085 (QalPerf) a rumour H8052 from the Lord, H3068 and an ambassador H6735 is sent H7971 (QalPasPtc) unto the heathen, H1471 saying, Gather ye together, H6908 (HithImpv) and come H935 (QalImpv) against her, and rise up H6965 (QalImpv) to the battle. H4421 [15] For, lo, I will make H5414 (QalPerf) thee small H6996 among the heathen, H1471 and despised H959 (QalPasPtc) among men. H120 [16] Thy terribleness H8606 hath deceived H5377 (HiphPerf) thee, and the pride H2087 of thine heart, H3820 O thou that dwellest H7931 (QalActPtc) in the clefts H2288 of the rock, H5553 that holdest H8610 (QalActPtc) the height H4791 of the hill: H1389 though thou shouldest make thy nest H7064 as high H1361 (HiphImpf) as the eagle, H5404 I will bring thee down H3381 (HiphImpf) from thence, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord. H3068 [17] Also Edom H123 shall be a desolation: H8047 every one that goeth H5674 (QalActPtc) by it shall be astonished, H8074 (QalImpf) and shall hiss H8319 (QalImpf) at all the plagues H4347 thereof. [18] As in the overthrow H4114 of Sodom H5467 and Gomorrah H6017 and the neighbour H7934 cities thereof, saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord, H3068 no man H376 shall abide H3427 (QalImpf) there, neither shall a son H1121 of man H120 dwell H1481 (QalImpf) in it. [19] Behold, he shall come up H5927 (QalImpf) like a lion H738 from the swelling H1347 of Jordan H3383 against the habitation H5116 of the strong: H386 but I will suddenly H7280 (HiphImpf) make him run away H7323 (HiphImpf) from her: and who is a chosen H977 (QalPasPtc) man, that I may appoint H6485 (QalImpf) over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me§ the time? H3259 (HiphImpf) and who is that shepherd H7462 (QalActPtc) that will stand H5975 (QalImpf) before H6440 me? [20] Therefore hear H8085 (QalImpv) the counsel H6098 of the Lord, H3068 that he hath taken H3289 (QalPerf) against Edom; H123 and his purposes, H4284 that he hath purposed H2803 (QalPerf) against the inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Teman: H8487 Surely the least H6810 of the flock H6629 shall draw them out: H5498 (QalImpf) surely he shall make their habitations H5116 desolate H8074 (HiphImpf) with them. [21] The earth H776 is moved H7493 (QalPerf) at the noise H6963 of their fall, H5307 (QalInf) at the cry H6818 the noise H6963 thereof was heard H8085 (NiphPerf) in the Red H5488 sea. H3220§ [22] Behold, he shall come up H5927 (QalImpf) and fly H1675 (QalImpf) as the eagle, H5404 and spread H6566 (QalImpf) 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 (HiphPtc) [23] Concerning Damascus. H1834 Hamath H2574 is confounded, H954 (QalPerf) and Arpad: H774 for they have heard H8085 (QalPerf) evil H7451 tidings: H8052 they are fainthearted; H4127 (NiphPerf)§ there is sorrow H1674 on the sea; H3220§ it cannot H3201 (QalImpf) be quiet. H8252 (HiphInf) [24] Damascus H1834 is waxed feeble, H7503 (QalPerf) and turneth H6437 (HiphPerf) herself to flee, H5127 (QalInf) and fear H7374 hath seized H2388 (HiphPerf) on her: anguish H6869 and sorrows H2256 have taken H270 (QalPerf) her, as a woman in travail. H3205 (QalActPtc) [25] How is the city H5892 of praise H8416 not left, H5800 (PualPerf) the city H7151 of my joy! H4885 [26] Therefore her young men H970 shall fall H5307 (QalImpf) in her streets, H7339 and all the men H582 of war H4421 shall be cut off H1826 (NiphImpf) in that day, H3117 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord H3068 of hosts. H6635 [27] And I will kindle H3341 (HiphPerf) a fire H784 in the wall H2346 of Damascus, H1834 and it shall consume H398 (QalPerf) the palaces H759 of Ben-hadad. H1130

Kedar

[28] Concerning Kedar, H6938 and concerning the kingdoms H4467 of Hazor, H2674 which Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 shall smite, H5221 (HiphPerf) thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord; H3068 Arise H6965 (QalImpv) ye, go up H5927 (QalImpv) to Kedar, H6938 and spoil H7703 (QalImpv) the men H1121 of the east. H6924
[29] Their tents H168 and their flocks H6629 shall they take away: H3947 (QalImpf) they shall take H5375 (QalImpf) to themselves their curtains, H3407 and all their vessels, H3627 and their camels; H1581 and they shall cry H7121 (QalPerf) unto them, Fear H4032 is on every side. H5439 [30] Flee, H5127 (QalImpv) get H5110 (QalImpv) you far off, H3966§ dwell H3427 (QalInf) deep, H6009 (HiphPerf) O ye inhabitants H3427 (QalActPtc) of Hazor, H2674 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord; H3068 for Nebuchadrezzar H5019 king H4428 of Babylon H894 hath taken counsel H6098 against you, and hath conceived H2803 (QalPerf) a purpose H4284 against you. [31] Arise, H6965 (QalImpv) get you up H5927 (QalImpv) unto the wealthy H7961§ nation, H1471 that dwelleth H3427 (QalActPtc) without care, H983 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord, H3068 which have neither gates H1817 nor bars, H1280 which dwell H7931 (QalImpf) alone. H910 [32] And their camels H1581 shall be a booty, H957 and the multitude H1995 of their cattle H4735 a spoil: H7998 and I will scatter H2219 (PielPerf) into all winds H7307 them that are in the utmost H7112 (QalPasPtc) corners; H6285§ and I will bring H935 (HiphImpf) their calamity H343 from all sides H5676 thereof, saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord. H3068 [33] And 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 (QalImpf) there, nor any son H1121 of man H120 dwell H1481 (QalImpf) in it.

Elam

[34] The 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 (QalInf)
[35] Thus saith H559 (QalPerf) the Lord H3068 of hosts; H6635 Behold, I will break H7665 (QalImpf) the bow H7198 of Elam, H5867 the chief H7225 of their might. H1369 [36] And upon Elam H5867 will I bring H935 (HiphPerf) the four H702 winds H7307 from the four H702 quarters H7098 of heaven, H8064 and will scatter H2219 (PielPerf) them toward all those winds; H7307 and there shall be no nation H1471 whither the outcasts H5080 (NiphPtc) of Elam H5867 (Qere) shall not come. H935 (QalImpf) [37] For I will cause Elam H5867 to be dismayed H2865 (HiphPerf) before H6440 their enemies, H341 (QalActPtc) and before H6440 them that seek H1245 (PielPtc) their life: H5315 and I will bring H935 (HiphPerf) evil H7451 upon them, even my fierce H2740 anger, H639 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord; H3068 and I will send H7971 (PielPerf) the sword H2719 after H310 them, till I have consumed H3615 (PielInf) them: [38] and I will set H7760 (QalPerf) my throne H3678 in Elam, H5867 and will destroy H6 (HiphPerf) from thence the king H4428 and the princes, H8269 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord. H3068 [39] But it shall come to pass in the latter H319 days, H3117 that I will bring again H7725 (HiphImpf/Qere) the captivity H7622 (Qere) of Elam, H5867 saith H5002 (QalPasPtc) the Lord. H3068
