Profecía sobre los amonitas
49 Acerca de los hijos de Amón. Así ha dicho Jehová:
«¿No tiene hijos Israel?
¿No tiene heredero?
¿Por qué Milcom ha hecho de Gad su heredad,
y su pueblo se ha establecido en sus ciudades?
2 Por tanto, vienen días,
dice Jehová,
en que haré oír el grito de guerra
en Rabá de los hijos de Amón.
Será convertida en un montón de ruinas,
sus ciudades serán incendiadas
e Israel tomará por heredad a quienes los tomaron a ellos.
Esto dice Jehová.
3 »¡Laméntate, Hesbón, porque Hai ha sido destruida!
¡Gritad, hijas de Rabá,
vestíos de ropas ásperas,
haced lamentación y rodead los vallados!,
porque Milcom fue llevado en cautiverio
juntamente con sus sacerdotes y sus príncipes.
4 ¿Por qué te glorías de los valles?,
de tu fértil valle, tú, hija rebelde,
que confías en tus tesoros
y dices: “¿Quién vendrá contra mí?”
5 He aquí yo traigo el miedo sobre ti,
dice el Señor, Jehová de los ejércitos,
desde todos tus alrededores.
Seréis lanzados cada uno de vosotros hacia adelante, con violencia,
y no habrá quien acoja a los fugitivos.
6 Después de esto, haré volver a los cautivos de los hijos de Amón,
dice Jehová.»
Profecía sobre Edom
7 Acerca de Edom. Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos:
«¿No hay más sabiduría en Temán?
¿Se agotó el consejo en los sabios?
¿Se corrompió su sabiduría?
8 ¡Huid, volveos atrás,
habitad en lugares profundos, moradores de Dedán!,
porque el quebranto de Esaú traeré sobre él
en el tiempo en que lo castigue.
9 Si vendimiadores hubieran venido contra ti,
¿no habrían dejado rebuscos?
Si ladrones hubieran venido de noche,
¿no habrían tomado lo que les bastara?
10 Mas yo desnudaré a Esaú,
pondré al descubierto sus escondrijos
y no podrá esconderse;
será destruida su descendencia,
sus hermanos y sus vecinos,
y dejará de ser.
11 ¡Deja tus huérfanos, yo los criaré,
y en mí confiarán tus viudas!
12 »Así ha dicho Jehová: Los que no estaban condenados a beber la copa, la beberán ciertamente. ¿Y serás tú absuelto del todo? ¡No serás absuelto, sino que ciertamente la beberás! 13 Porque por mí mismo he jurado, dice Jehová, que espanto, afrenta, soledad y maldición será Bosra, y todas sus ciudades serán ruinas para siempre.»
14 He oído esta noticia:
que de parte de Jehová se había enviado un mensajero
a decir a las naciones:
«¡Juntaos, venid contra ella,
subid a la batalla!»
15 Te haré pequeño entre las naciones,
menospreciado entre los hombres.
16 Te engañaron tu arrogancia
y la soberbia de tu corazón.
Tú, que habitas en las hendiduras de las peñas,
que alcanzas las alturas del monte,
aunque eleves como el águila tu nido,
de allí te haré descender,
dice Jehová.
17 «Edom se convertirá en espanto. Todo aquel que pase por ella se asombrará, se burlará de todas sus calamidades. 18 Como sucedió en la destrucción de Sodoma, de Gomorra y de sus ciudades vecinas, dice Jehová, tampoco allí habitará nadie, ningún ser humano habitará en ella.
19 »Yo, como un león que sube
de la espesura del Jordán al verde prado,
muy pronto los haré huir de ella,
y pondré en ella al que yo escoja,
porque ¿quién es semejante a mí? ¿Quién me emplazará?
¿Quién será el pastor que pueda resistirme?
20 Por tanto, oíd el plan que Jehová ha acordado acerca de Edom,
y las decisiones que ha tomado acerca de los moradores de Temán.
Ciertamente, arrastrarán a los más pequeños de su rebaño,
y los destruirán junto con sus pastizales.
21 Por el estruendo de la caída de ellos, la tierra temblará,
y el eco de su voz se oirá hasta en el Mar Rojo.
22 Como un águila subirá y volará,
y desplegará sus alas contra Bosra.
Aquel día el corazón de los valientes de Edom
será como el corazón de una mujer en angustias.»
Profecía sobre Damasco
23 Acerca de Damasco.
«Hamat y Arfad se avergonzaron
porque oyeron malas noticias;
se derritieron en aguas de ansiedad, ¡no logran sosegarse!
24 Damasco se desmayó, se dispuso a huir,
le tomó temblor y angustia,
y se apoderaron de él dolores
como de una mujer que está de parto.
25 ¡Cómo abandonan la ciudad tan alabada,
la ciudad de mi gozo!
26 Por tanto, sus jóvenes caerán en las plazas,
y todos los hombres de guerra morirán en aquel día,
dice Jehová de los ejércitos.
27 En el muro de Damasco prenderé yo un fuego
que consumirá las casas de Ben-adad.»
Profecía sobre Cedar y Hazor
28 Acerca de Cedar y de los reinos de Hazor, asolados por Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia. Así ha dicho Jehová:
«Levantaos, subid contra Cedar
y destruid a los hijos del oriente.
29 Sus tiendas y sus ganados tomarán.
Sus cortinas, todos sus utensilios
y sus camellos tomarán para sí,
y gritarán contra ellos: “¡Hay terror por todas partes!”
30 ¡Huid, marchaos muy lejos, habitad en lugares profundos,
moradores de Hazor!,
dice Jehová;
porque Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia,
tomó consejo contra vosotros, y contra vosotros ha preparado un plan.
31 ¡Levantaos, subid contra una nación pacífica
que vive confiadamente,
dice Jehová,
que ni tiene puertas ni cerrojos,
que vive solitaria!
32 Sus camellos serán por botín
y la multitud de sus ganados por despojo.
Los esparciré a todos los vientos,
dispersados hasta el último rincón;
de todos lados les traeré su ruina,
dice Jehová.
33 Hazor será guarida de chacales,
quedará desolada para siempre.
Nadie morará allí;
ningún ser humano habitará en ella».
Profecía sobre Elam
34 Palabra de Jehová que vino al profeta Jeremías acerca de Elam, al comienzo del reinado de Sedequías, rey de Judá, diciendo: 35 «Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos:
»Yo quiebro el arco de Elam,
parte principal de su fortaleza.
36 Traeré sobre Elam los cuatro vientos
desde los cuatro puntos del cielo,
y los aventaré a los cuatro vientos.
No habrá nación a donde no lleguen fugitivos de Elam.
37 Y haré que Elam se acobarde ante sus enemigos
y ante quienes buscan su vida.
Traeré sobre ellos mal y el ardor de mi ira,
dice Jehová,
y enviaré espada que los persiga hasta acabar con ellos.
38 Yo pondré mi trono en Elam,
y destruiré a su rey y a sus príncipes,
dice Jehová. 39 Pero acontecerá en los últimos días,
que yo haré volver a los cautivos de Elam,
dice Jehová.»

New International Version
A Message About Ammon
49 Concerning the Ammonites:(A)
This is what the Lord says:
“Has Israel no sons?
Has Israel no heir?
Why then has Molek[a](B) taken possession of Gad?(C)
Why do his people live in its towns?
2 But the days are coming,”
declares the Lord,
“when I will sound the battle cry(D)
against Rabbah(E) of the Ammonites;
it will become a mound of ruins,(F)
and its surrounding villages will be set on fire.
Then Israel will drive out
those who drove her out,(G)”
says the Lord.
3 “Wail, Heshbon,(H) for Ai(I) is destroyed!
Cry out, you inhabitants of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth(J) and mourn;
rush here and there inside the walls,
for Molek(K) will go into exile,(L)
together with his priests and officials.
4 Why do you boast of your valleys,
boast of your valleys so fruitful?
Unfaithful Daughter Ammon,(M)
you trust in your riches(N) and say,
‘Who will attack me?’(O)
5 I will bring terror on you
from all those around you,”
declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty.
“Every one of you will be driven away,
and no one will gather the fugitives.(P)
6 “Yet afterward, I will restore(Q) the fortunes of the Ammonites,”
declares the Lord.
A Message About Edom(R)(S)
7 Concerning Edom:(T)
This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?(U)
Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom decayed?
8 Turn and flee, hide in deep caves,(V)
you who live in Dedan,(W)
for I will bring disaster on Esau
at the time when I punish him.
9 If grape pickers came to you,
would they not leave a few grapes?
If thieves came during the night,
would they not steal only as much as they wanted?
10 But I will strip Esau bare;
I will uncover his hiding places,(X)
so that he cannot conceal himself.
His armed men are destroyed,
also his allies and neighbors,
so there is no one(Y) to say,
11 ‘Leave your fatherless children;(Z) I will keep them alive.
Your widows(AA) too can depend on me.’”
12 This is what the Lord says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup(AB) must drink it, why should you go unpunished?(AC) You will not go unpunished, but must drink it. 13 I swear(AD) by myself,” declares the Lord, “that Bozrah(AE) will become a ruin and a curse,[b] an object of horror(AF) and reproach;(AG) and all its towns will be in ruins forever.”(AH)
14 I have heard a message from the Lord;
an envoy was sent to the nations to say,
“Assemble yourselves to attack it!
Rise up for battle!”
15 “Now I will make you small among the nations,
despised by mankind.
16 The terror you inspire
and the pride(AI) of your heart have deceived you,
you who live in the clefts of the rocks,(AJ)
who occupy the heights of the hill.
Though you build your nest(AK) as high as the eagle’s,
from there I will bring you down,”
declares the Lord.
17 “Edom will become an object of horror;(AL)
all who pass by will be appalled and will scoff
because of all its wounds.(AM)
18 As Sodom(AN) and Gomorrah(AO) were overthrown,
along with their neighboring towns,”
says the Lord,
“so no one will live there;
no people will dwell(AP) in it.
19 “Like a lion(AQ) coming up from Jordan’s thickets(AR)
to a rich pastureland,
I will chase Edom from its land in an instant.
Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this?
Who is like(AS) me and who can challenge me?(AT)
And what shepherd(AU) can stand against me?”
20 Therefore, hear what the Lord has planned against Edom,(AV)
what he has purposed(AW) against those who live in Teman:(AX)
The young of the flock(AY) will be dragged away;
their pasture will be appalled at their fate.(AZ)
21 At the sound of their fall the earth will tremble;(BA)
their cry(BB) will resound to the Red Sea.[c]
22 Look! An eagle will soar and swoop(BC) down,
spreading its wings over Bozrah.(BD)
In that day the hearts of Edom’s warriors(BE)
will be like the heart of a woman in labor.(BF)
A Message About Damascus
23 Concerning Damascus:(BG)
“Hamath(BH) and Arpad(BI) are dismayed,
for they have heard bad news.
They are disheartened,
troubled like[d] the restless sea.(BJ)
24 Damascus has become feeble,
she has turned to flee
and panic has gripped her;
anguish and pain have seized her,
pain like that of a woman in labor.(BK)
25 Why has the city of renown not been abandoned,
the town in which I delight?
26 Surely, her young men(BL) will fall in the streets;
all her soldiers will be silenced(BM) in that day,”
declares the Lord Almighty.
27 “I will set fire(BN) to the walls of Damascus;(BO)
it will consume(BP) the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.(BQ)”
A Message About Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning Kedar(BR) and the kingdoms of Hazor,(BS) which Nebuchadnezzar(BT) king of Babylon attacked:
This is what the Lord says:
“Arise, and attack Kedar
and destroy the people of the East.(BU)
29 Their tents and their flocks(BV) will be taken;
their shelters will be carried off
with all their goods and camels.
People will shout to them,
‘Terror(BW) on every side!’
30 “Flee quickly away!
Stay in deep caves,(BX) you who live in Hazor,(BY)”
declares the Lord.
“Nebuchadnezzar(BZ) king of Babylon has plotted against you;
he has devised a plan against you.
31 “Arise and attack a nation at ease,
which lives in confidence,”
declares the Lord,
“a nation that has neither gates nor bars;(CA)
its people live far from danger.
32 Their camels(CB) will become plunder,
and their large herds(CC) will be spoils of war.
I will scatter to the winds(CD) those who are in distant places[e](CE)
and will bring disaster on them from every side,”
declares the Lord.
33 “Hazor(CF) will become a haunt of jackals,(CG)
a desolate(CH) place forever.
No one will live there;
no people will dwell(CI) in it.”
A Message About Elam
34 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam,(CJ) early in the reign of Zedekiah(CK) king of Judah:
35 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“See, I will break the bow(CL) of Elam,
the mainstay of their might.
36 I will bring against Elam the four winds(CM)
from the four quarters of heaven;(CN)
I will scatter them to the four winds,
and there will not be a nation
where Elam’s exiles do not go.
37 I will shatter Elam before their foes,
before those who want to kill them;
I will bring disaster on them,
even my fierce anger,”(CO)
declares the Lord.
“I will pursue them with the sword(CP)
until I have made an end of them.
38 I will set my throne in Elam
and destroy her king and officials,”
declares the Lord.
39 “Yet I will restore(CQ) the fortunes of Elam
in days to come,”
declares the Lord.

Jeremiah 49
King James Version
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?
2 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.
3 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.
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.
6 And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the Lord.
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?
8 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.
9 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.
