Jeremiah 49 (WEBP)

[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.”

[4] Wherefore gloriest () thou in the valleys, thy flowing () valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted () in her treasures, saying, Who shall come () unto me?
[5] 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. ()

[7] Concerning Edom, thus saith () the Lord of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished () from the prudent? () is their wisdom vanished? ()

[9] If grapegatherers () come () to thee, would they not leave () some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy () till they have enough.

[11] Leave () thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; () and let thy widows trust () in me.
[12] 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.
[13] 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.
[14] 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.
[15] For, lo, I will make () thee small among the heathen, and despised () among men.
[16] 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.
[17] Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth () by it shall be astonished, () and shall hiss () at all the plagues thereof.
[18] 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.
[19] 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?
[20] 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.
[21] The earth is moved () at the noise of their fall, () at the cry the noise thereof was heard () in the Red sea.
[22] 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. ()
[23] 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. ()
[24] 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. ()
[25] How is the city of praise not left, () the city of my joy!
[26] 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.
[27] And I will kindle () a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume () the palaces of Ben-hadad.
[28] 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.
[29] 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.
[30] 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.
[31] Arise, () get you up () unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth () without care, saith () the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell () alone.
[32] 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.

Jeremiah 49 (BYZ)

[1] [30:17] τοις υιοις αμμων ουτως ειπεν κυριος μη υιοι ουκ εισιν εν ισραηλ η παραλημψομενος ουκ εστιν αυτοις δια τι παρελαβεν μελχομ τον γαδ και ο λαος αυτων εν πολεσιν αυτων ενοικησει
[2] [30:18] δια τουτο ιδου ημεραι ερχονται φησιν κυριος και ακουτιω επι ραββαθ θορυβον πολεμων και εσονται εις αβατον και εις απωλειαν και βωμοι αυτης εν πυρι κατακαυθησονται και παραλημψεται ισραηλ την αρχην αυτου
[3] [30:19] αλαλαξον εσεβων οτι ωλετο γαι κεκραξατε θυγατερες ραββαθ περιζωσασθε σακκους και επιλημπτευσασθε και κοψασθε επι μελχομ οτι εν αποικια βαδιειται οι ιερεις αυτου και οι αρχοντες αυτου αμα
[4] [30:20] τι αγαλλιαση εν τοις πεδιοις ενακιμ θυγατερ ιταμιας η πεποιθυια επι θησαυροις αυτης η λεγουσα τις εισελευσεται επ εμε
[5] [30:21] ιδου εγω φερω φοβον επι σε ειπεν κυριος απο πασης της περιοικου σου και διασπαρησεσθε εκαστος εις προσωπον αυτου και ουκ εσται ο συναγων …
[7] [30:1] τη ιδουμαια ταδε λεγει κυριος ουκ εστιν ετι σοφια εν θαιμαν απωλετο βουλη εκ συνετων ωχετο σοφια αυτων
[8] [30:2] ηπατηθη ο τοπος αυτων βαθυνατε εις καθισιν οι κατοικουντες εν δαιδαν οτι δυσκολα εποιησεν ηγαγον επ αυτον εν χρονω ω επεσκεψαμην επ αυτον
[9] [30:3] οτι τρυγηται ηλθον σοι ου καταλειψουσιν σοι καταλειμματα ως κλεπται εν νυκτι επιθησουσιν χειρα αυτων
[10] [30:4] οτι εγω κατεσυρα τον ησαυ ανεκαλυψα τα κρυπτα αυτων κρυβηναι ου μη δυνωνται ωλοντο δια χειρα αδελφου αυτου και γειτονος αυτου και ουκ εστιν
[11] [30:5] υπολειπεσθαι ορφανον σου ινα ζησηται και εγω ζησομαι και χηραι επ εμε πεποιθασιν
[12] [30:6] οτι ταδε ειπεν κυριος οις ουκ ην νομος πιειν το ποτηριον επιον και συ αθωωμενη ου μη αθωωθης οτι πινων πιεσαι
[13] [30:7] οτι κατ εμαυτου ωμοσα λεγει κυριος οτι εις αβατον και εις ονειδισμον και εις καταρασιν εση εν μεσω αυτης και πασαι αι πολεις αυτης εσονται ερημοι εις αιωνα
[14] [30:8] ακοην ηκουσα παρα κυριου και αγγελους εις εθνη απεστειλεν συναχθητε και παραγενεσθε εις αυτην αναστητε εις πολεμον
[15] [30:9] μικρον εδωκα σε εν εθνεσιν ευκαταφρονητον εν ανθρωποις
[16] [30:10] η παιγνια σου ενεχειρησεν σοι ιταμια καρδιας σου κατελυσεν τρυμαλιας πετρων συνελαβεν ισχυν βουνου υψηλου οτι υψωσεν ωσπερ αετος νοσσιαν αυτου εκειθεν καθελω σε
[17] [30:11] και εσται η ιδουμαια εις αβατον πας ο παραπορευομενος επ αυτην συριει
[18] [30:12] ωσπερ κατεστραφη σοδομα και γομορρα και αι παροικοι αυτης ειπεν κυριος παντοκρατωρ ου μη καθιση εκει ανθρωπος και ου μη ενοικηση εκει υιος ανθρωπου
[19] [30:13] ιδου ωσπερ λεων αναβησεται εκ μεσου του ιορδανου εις τοπον αιθαμ οτι ταχυ εκδιωξω αυτους απ αυτης και τους νεανισκους επ αυτην επιστησατε οτι τις ωσπερ εγω και τις αντιστησεται μοι και τις ουτος ποιμην ος στησεται κατα προσωπον μου
[20] [30:14] δια τουτο ακουσατε βουλην κυριου ην εβουλευσατο επι την ιδουμαιαν και λογισμον αυτου ον ελογισατο επι τους κατοικουντας θαιμαν εαν μη συμψησθωσιν τα ελαχιστα των προβατων εαν μη αβατωθη επ αυτην καταλυσις αυτων
[21] [30:15] οτι απο φωνης πτωσεως αυτων εσεισθη η γη και κραυγη σου εν θαλασση ηκουσθη
[22] [30:16] ιδου ωσπερ αετος οψεται και εκτενει τας πτερυγας επ οχυρωματα αυτης και εσται η καρδια των ισχυρων της ιδουμαιας εν τη ημερα εκεινη ως καρδια γυναικος ωδινουσης
[23] [30:29] τη δαμασκω κατησχυνθη ημαθ και αρφαδ οτι ηκουσαν ακοην πονηραν εξεστησαν εθυμωθησαν αναπαυσασθαι ου μη δυνωνται
[24] [30:30] εξελυθη δαμασκος απεστραφη εις φυγην τρομος επελαβετο αυτης
[25] [30:31] πως ουχι εγκατελιπεν πολιν εμην κωμην ηγαπησαν
[26] [30:32] δια τουτο πεσουνται νεανισκοι εν πλατειαις σου και παντες οι ανδρες οι πολεμισται σου πεσουνται φησιν κυριος
[27] [30:33] και καυσω πυρ εν τειχει δαμασκου και καταφαγεται αμφοδα υιου αδερ
[28] [30:23] τη κηδαρ βασιλισση της αυλης ην επαταξεν ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος ουτως ειπεν κυριος αναστητε και αναβητε επι κηδαρ και πλησατε τους υιους κεδεμ
[29] [30:24] σκηνας αυτων και προβατα αυτων λημψονται ιματια αυτων και παντα τα σκευη αυτων και καμηλους αυτων λημψονται εαυτοις και καλεσατε επ αυτους απωλειαν κυκλοθεν
[30] [30:25] φευγετε λιαν βαθυνατε εις καθισιν καθημενοι εν τη αυλη οτι εβουλευσατο εφ υμας βασιλευς βαβυλωνος βουλην και ελογισατο εφ υμας λογισμον
[31] [30:26] αναστηθι και αναβηθι επ εθνος ευσταθουν καθημενον εις αναψυχην οις ουκ εισιν θυραι ου βαλανοι ου μοχλοι μονοι καταλυουσιν
[32] [30:27] και εσονται καμηλοι αυτων εις προνομην και πληθος κτηνων αυτων εις απωλειαν και λικμησω αυτους παντι πνευματι κεκαρμενους προ προσωπου αυτων εκ παντος περαν αυτων οισω την τροπην αυτων ειπεν κυριος
[33] [30:28] και εσται η αυλη διατριβη στρουθων και αβατος εως αιωνος ου μη καθιση εκει ανθρωπος και ου μη κατοικηση εκει υιος ανθρωπου
[34] [25:14] α επροφητευσεν ιερεμιας επι τα εθνη τα αιλαμ
[35] [25:15] ταδε λεγει κυριος συντριβητω το τοξον αιλαμ αρχη δυναστειας αυτων
[36] [25:16] και επαξω επι αιλαμ τεσσαρας ανεμους εκ των τεσσαρων ακρων του ουρανου και διασπερω αυτους εν πασιν τοις ανεμοις τουτοις και ουκ εσται εθνος ο ουχ ηξει εκει οι εξωσμενοι αιλαμ
[37] [25:17] και πτοησω αυτους εναντιον των εχθρων αυτων των ζητουντων την ψυχην αυτων και επαξω επ αυτους κακα κατα την οργην του θυμου μου και επαποστελω οπισω αυτων την μαχαιραν μου εως του εξαναλωσαι αυτους
[38] [25:18] και θησω τον θρονον μου εν αιλαμ και εξαποστελω εκειθεν βασιλεα και μεγιστανας
[39] [25:19] και εσται επ εσχατου των ημερων αποστρεψω την αιχμαλωσιαν αιλαμ λεγει κυριος [25:20] εν αρχη βασιλευοντος σεδεκιου του βασιλεως εγενετο ο λογος ουτος περι αιλαμ
