49 (A)За Амоновите синове тъй казва Господ: нима Израил няма синове? нима той няма наследник? Защо тогава Малхом завладя Гад, и народът му живее в градовете му?

(B)Затова ето, идат дни, казва Господ, когато в Рава на Амоновите синове ще се чува боен вик, и тя ще стане купище развалини, и градовете ѝ ще бъдат с огън изгорени, и Израил ще завладее ония, които го владяха, казва Господ.

(C)Ридай, Есевоне, защото Гад е опустошен; викайте, дъщери равски, опашете се с вретище, плачете и се скитайте по кошарите, защото Малхом ще иде в плен заедно със свещениците и князете си.

(D)Защо се хвалиш с долините? Твоята долина с кръв ще се облее, вероломна дъще, която се уповаваш на съкровищата си, думайки: „кой ще дойде против мене?“

Ето, Аз ще напратя върху тебе ужас от всички твои околности, казва Господ, Бог Саваот; разбягайте се, кой където може, и никой не ще събере разбягалите се.

(E)Но след това Аз ще върна пленниците – Амонови синове, казва Господ.

(F)За Едом тъй казва Господ Саваот: нима вече няма мъдрост в Теман? Нима изчезна благоразумието у разумните? Нима оскъдя тяхната мъдрост?

(G)Бягайте, обръщайте гръб, крийте се в пещерите, дедански жители, защото Аз ще напратя върху него Исавовата гибел, – времето, когато го посетя.

(H)Ако берачите на лозе биха дошли при тебе, то навярно биха оставили някои необрани чепки. И ако крадци биха дошли през нощта, те биха откраднали, колкото им е нужно.

10 Аз пък доголо ще обера Исава, ще открия скришните му места, и не ще може да се скрие. Ще бъде изтребено племето му, и братята му, и съседите му; и не ще го има.

11 Остави сираците си, Аз ще подкрепя живота им, и твоите вдовици нека се Мен надяват.

12 (I)Защото тъй казва Господ: ето и ония, на които не бе съдено да пият чашата, бездруго ще я пият, та ти ли ще останеш ненаказан? Не, не ще останеш ненаказан, но бездруго ще пиеш чашата.

13 (J)Защото кълна се в Мене Си, казва Господ, че Восор ще стане за ужас, за присмех, пустиня и проклятие, и всичките му градове ще станат вечни пустини.

14 (K)Чух глас от Господа, и пратеник е пратен при народите да каже: съберете се и идете против него, дигайте се за война.

15 (L)Защото ето, ще те направя малък между народите, презрян между людете.

16 (M)Ужасното ти положение и гордостта на сърцето ти измамиха тебе, който живееш в скални пукнатини и завземаш върховете на хълмовете. Но макар и като орел да би свил високо гнездото си, и оттам ще те сваля, казва Господ.

17 (N)И ще стане Едом за ужас; всеки, който минава край него, ще се слиса и ще подсвирне, гледайки всичките му рани.

18 (O)Както бяха разорени Содом и Гомора и съседните им градове, казва Господ, тъй и там не ще живее ни един човек, и човешки син не ще престои в него.

19 (P)Ето, той възлиза като лъв от висините Иордански към укрепените жилища; но Аз ще ги принудя да излязат бързо из Идумея, и който е избран, него ще поставя над нея. Защото, кой е Мен подобен? и кой ще поиска отговор от Мене? и кой пастир ще Ми се опре?

20 И тъй, изслушайте решението на Господа, което Той постанови за Едома, и намеренията Му, които Той има за теманските жители: наистина, тях, най-малките от стадата, ще ги повлекат и ще опустошат жилищата им.

21 (Q)От шума на тяхното падане ще се потресе земята, и екът от техния вик ще се чуе до Червено море.

22 (R)Ето, като орел ще се подига той, ще полети и ще разпери крила над Восор; и сърцето на храбрите идумейци ще бъде в оня ден като сърце на жена, кога ражда.

23 (S)За Дамаск. – Посрамиха се Емат и Арпад, защото, щом чуха скръбната вест, отпаднаха духом; като тревожно море, не могат да се успокоят.

24 (T)Изплаши се Дамаск и се обърна на бяг; страх го обзе; болка и мъки го хванаха като жена, кога ражда.

25 Как не оцеля градът на славата, градът на моята радост?

26 (U)И тъй, ще падат младежите му на улиците му, и всички войници ще загинат в оня ден, казва Господ Саваот.

27 (V)И ще запаля огън в стените Дамаски, – и ще унищожи дворците Венададови.

28 (W)За Кидар и за асорските царства, които порази Навуходоносор, вавилонски цар, тъй казва Господ: ставайте, вървете против Кидар и съсипвайте синовете на Изток?

29 Шатрите им и овците им ще вземат за себе си, и покривките им и цялата им покъщнина, и камилите им ще вземат и ще им викат: ужас отвред!

30 Бягайте, махайте се по-скоро, скрийте се в пропасти, асорски жители, казва Господ, защото Навуходоносор, вавилонски цар, взе решение за вас и замисли заговор против вас.

31 Ставайте, вървете против мирния народ, който си живее безгрижно, казва Господ; у него няма ни врати, ни заворки; живеят уединено.

32 (X)Камилите им ще бъдат плячкосани, и многото им стада – разграбени; и ще ги разпилея по всички ветрове, тях, които си стрижат скулуфите, и от всичките им страни ще напратя върху тях гибел, казва Господ.

33 И ще стане Асор жилище на чакали, вечна пустиня; човек не ще живее там, и човешки син не ще се спира в него.

34 (Y)Слово Господне, което биде към пророк Иеремия против Елама в начало на царуването на Седекия, иудейски цар:

35 (Z)тъй казва Господ Саваот: ето, ще счупя лъка на Елама, главната им сила;

36 и ще напратя върху Елама четири вятъра от четирите краища на небето, и ще развея еламци по всички тия ветрове, и няма да има народ, където да не отидат прокудени еламци;

37 и ще поразя еламци със страх пред враговете им и пред тия, които искат душата им; и ще напратя върху тях бедствие, Моя гняв, казва Господ, и ще изпратя след тях меч, докле ги не изтребя;

38 и ще поставя престола Си в Елам, и ще изтребя там царя и князете, казва Господ.

39 (AA)Но в последните дни ще върна Еламовите пленени, казва Господ.

Judgment on Ammon

49 Against the (A)Ammonites.

Thus says the Lord:

“Has Israel no sons?
Has he no heir?
Why then does [a]Milcom inherit (B)Gad,
And his people dwell in its cities?
(C)Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war
In (D)Rabbah of the Ammonites;
It shall be a desolate mound,
And her [b]villages shall be burned with fire.
Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance,” says the Lord.

“Wail, O (E)Heshbon, for Ai is plundered!
Cry, you daughters of Rabbah,
(F)Gird yourselves with sackcloth!
Lament and run to and fro by the walls;
For [c]Milcom shall go into captivity
With his (G)priests and his princes together.
Why (H)do you boast in the valleys,
[d]Your flowing valley, O (I)backsliding daughter?
Who trusted in her (J)treasures, (K)saying,
‘Who will come against me?’
Behold, I will bring fear upon you,”
Says the Lord God of hosts,
“From all those who are around you;
You shall be driven out, everyone headlong,
And no one will gather those who wander off.
But (L)afterward I will bring back
The captives of the people of Ammon,” says the Lord.

Judgment on Edom

(M)Against Edom.

Thus says the Lord of hosts:

(N)Is wisdom no more in Teman?
(O)Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom (P)vanished?
Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of (Q)Dedan!
For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him,
The time that I will punish him.
(R)If grape-gatherers came to you,
Would they not leave some gleaning grapes?
If thieves by night,
Would they not destroy until they have enough?
10 (S)But I have made Esau bare;
I have uncovered his secret places,
And he shall not be able to hide himself.
His descendants are plundered,
His brethren and his neighbors,
And (T)he is no more.
11 Leave your fatherless children,
I will preserve them alive;
And let your widows trust in Me.”

12 For thus says the Lord: “Behold, (U)those whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunk. And are you the one who will altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it. 13 For (V)I have sworn by Myself,” says the Lord, “that (W)Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a [e]waste, and a curse. And all its cities shall be perpetual [f]wastes.”

14 (X)I have heard a message from the Lord,
And an ambassador has been sent to the nations:
“Gather together, come against her,
And rise up to battle!

15 “For indeed, I will make you small among nations,
Despised among men.
16 Your fierceness has deceived you,
The (Y)pride of your heart,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Who hold the height of the hill!
(Z)Though you make your (AA)nest as high as the eagle,
(AB)I will bring you down from there,” says the Lord.

17 “Edom also shall be an astonishment;
(AC)Everyone who goes by it will be astonished
And will hiss at all its plagues.
18 (AD)As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
And their neighbors,” says the Lord,
“No one shall remain there,
Nor shall a son of man dwell in it.

19 “Behold,(AE) he shall come up like a lion from (AF)the [g]floodplain of the Jordan
Against the dwelling place 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 (AG)who is like Me?
Who will arraign Me?
And (AH)who is that shepherd
Who will withstand Me?”

20 (AI)Therefore hear the counsel of the Lord that He has taken against Edom,
And His purposes that He has proposed against the inhabitants of Teman:
Surely the least of the flock shall [h]draw them out;
Surely He shall make their dwelling places desolate with them.
21 (AJ)The earth shakes at the noise of their fall;
At the cry its noise is heard at the Red Sea.
22 Behold, (AK)He shall come up and fly like the eagle,
And spread His wings over Bozrah;
The heart of the mighty men of Edom in that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

Judgment on Damascus

23 (AL)Against Damascus.

(AM)“Hamath and Arpad are shamed,
For they have heard bad news.
They are fainthearted;
(AN)There is [i]trouble on the sea;
It cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus has grown feeble;
She turns to flee,
And fear has seized her.
(AO)Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in [j]labor.
25 Why is (AP)the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy?
26 (AQ)Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets,
And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts.
27 “I(AR) will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus,
And it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.”

Judgment on Kedar and Hazor

28 (AS)Against Kedar and against the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon shall strike.

Thus says the Lord:

“Arise, go up to Kedar,
And devastate (AT)the men of the East!
29 Their (AU)tents and their flocks they shall take away.
They shall take for themselves their curtains,
All their vessels and their camels;
And they shall cry out to them,
(AV)‘Fear is on every side!’

30 “Flee, get far away! Dwell in the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor!” says the Lord.
“For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you,
And has conceived a plan against you.

31 “Arise, go up to (AW)the wealthy nation that dwells securely,” says the Lord,
“Which has neither gates nor bars,
(AX)Dwelling alone.
32 Their camels shall be for booty,
And the multitude of their cattle for plunder.
I will (AY)scatter to all winds those [k]in the farthest corners,
And I will bring their calamity from all its sides,” says the Lord.
33 “Hazor (AZ)shall be a dwelling for jackals, a desolation forever;
No one shall reside there,
Nor son of man dwell in it.”

Judgment on Elam

34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against (BA)Elam, in the (BB)beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying, 35 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:

‘Behold, I will break (BC)the [l]bow of Elam,
The foremost of their might.
36 Against Elam I will bring the four winds
From the four quarters of heaven,
And scatter them toward all those winds;
There shall be no nations where the outcasts of Elam will not go.
37 For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies
And before those who seek their life.
(BD)I will bring disaster upon them,
My fierce anger,’ says the Lord;
‘And I will send the sword after them
Until I have consumed them.
38 I will (BE)set My throne in Elam,
And will destroy from there the king and the princes,’ says the Lord.

39 ‘But it shall come to pass (BF)in the latter days:
I will bring back the captives of Elam,’ says the Lord.”

Against Surrounding Nations

49 About Ammon’s children, thus says Adonai:
“Has Israel no sons?
Has he no heir?
Why then did Malcam dispossess Gad
and his people settled in its towns?
Therefore behold, days are coming”
—it is a declaration of Adonai
“when I will sound an alarm of war
heard against Rabbah of Ammon!
It will become a mound of ruins.
Her villages will be burned with fire.
Then Israel will dispossess those
who dispossessed him.”
it is a declaration of Adonai.
“Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is devastated!
Cry, daughters of Rabbah!
Wear sackcloth, lament,
and run to and fro within the walls,
for Malcam will go into captivity
together with his priests and princes.
Why do you brag about valleys—
your flowing valley, faithless daughter?
Trusting in your treasures:
‘Who will come against me?’
I am about to bring terror on you”
—a declaration of my Lord Adonai-Tzva’ot
“from all those around you.
Each of you will be banished headlong,
with no one to gather the fugitives.
Yet afterward I will restore Ammon’s children from exile.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.

About Edom, thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot:
“Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?
Is counsel lost to the prudent?
Has their wisdom vanished?
Flee! Turn back!
Stay low, inhabitants of Dedan,
for I will bring Esau’s calamity on him
at the time that I punish him.
If grape gatherers came to you,
would they not leave gleanings?
If thieves came at night,
would they not destroy only enough for themselves?
10 But I will strip Esau bare.
I will uncover his hiding places,
so he will not be able to hide himself.
His offspring has been destroyed with his kinsmen and neighbors.
So he is nothing.
11 Leave your orphans—I will keep them alive,
and let your widows trust in Me.”
12 For thus says Adonai:
“Behold, if those who do not deserve to drink the cup must surely drink,
can you go utterly unpunished?
You will not go unpunished,
for you shall surely drink!
13 For I have sworn by Myself”
—it is a declaration of Adonai
“that Bozrah will become a horror,
a disgrace, a waste and a curse.
All its towns will be ruins forever.”
14 I heard a message from Adonai.
An ambassador is sent to the nations:
‘Gather together, come against her,
and rise up for war!’
15 For see, I made you least among nations,
despised among men.
16 Your terrorism has deceived you,
so that your heart is arrogant.
You who live in the clefts of the rock,
who occupy the height of the hill.
Though you make your nest as high as an eagle’s,
I will bring you down from there.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
17 “Edom will become a desolation.
Everyone passing by will be appalled
and hiss at all its plagues.
18 Like the overthrow of Sodom, Gomorrah
and their neighbors,” says Adonai,
“no one will live there,
nor any son of man dwell there.
19 Look, it is like a lion coming up from the thickets of the Jordan
to a secure pasture—
for abruptly I will make him run away from it.
I appoint over it whomever I choose.
For who is like Me?
Who will summon me to court?
What shepherd stands up to Me?”
20 Therefore hear the plan that Adonai has drawn up against Edom,
and His strategies that He designed against the inhabitants of Teman.
Surely the least of the flock will be dragged away,
Surely He will make their pasture desolate because of them.
21 The earth will tremble at the noise of their downfall.
The sound of their outcry will be heard at the Sea of Reeds.
22 Behold, he will mount up and swoop down like an eagle,
and spread out his wings against Bozrah.
The hearts of Edom’s warriors in that day
will be like a woman’s heart in her pangs.

23 About Damascus: Hamath and Arpad are ashamed,
for they heard bad news,
They melt away;
in the sea there is trouble that cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus has become feeble.
She turns away to flee,
panic grips her,
anguish and pangs have seized her,
like a woman in travail.
25 How is the city of praise deserted—
the city of my joy?
26 Therefore her young men will fall in her squares—
all the warriors will be silenced in that day.
It is a declaration of Adonai-Tzva’ot.
27 “I will set fire to the wall of Damascus—
    it will devour Ben-hadad’s palaces.”

28 About Kedar and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. Thus says Adonai:

“Arise, go up against Kedar
and devastate the children of the east.
29 They will take away their tents and their flocks.
They will carry away their curtains,
all their gear and their camels.
They will cry out against them,
‘Terror on every side!’
30 Flee! Scatter far!
Stay low, inhabitants of Hazor!”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
“For King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has taken counsel against you,
and devised a plan against you.
31 Arise, go up against a nation at ease,
dwelling securely,” says Adonai.
“They have no gates or bars;
they dwell alone.
32 Their camels will become plunder,
their many cattle a spoil.
I will scatter to all the winds those who shave the edges.
I bring their calamity from every side.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
33 “Hazor will be a lair of jackals,
a desolation forever—
no one will abide there,
nor any son of man dwell there.”

34 The word of Adonai that came to the prophet Jeremiah about Elam, at the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, saying, 35 thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot:

“Behold, I will break Elam’s bow—
the source of their might.
36 I will bring upon Elam the four winds
from the four quarters of heaven,
and will scatter them to all those winds.
There will be no nation
where the dispersed of Elam will not go.
37 I will shatter Elam before their enemies
and before those seeking their soul.
I will bring calamity on them—
My burning anger!”
It is a declaration of Adonai,
“I will send the sword after them
until I have consumed them.
38 Then I will put My throne in Elam
and destroy from it king and princes.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.
39 “Yet it will be in the end of days,
that I will restore Elam from exile.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.

49 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the Lord; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?

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.

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.

Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?

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.

And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the Lord.

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

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.

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

10 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.

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 Benhadad.

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.

33 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.

34 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,

35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

36 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.

37 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:

38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord.

39 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord.
