49:1 Concerning the Ammonites 1121 5983, thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Hath Israel 3478 no sons 1121? hath he no heir 3423 8802? why [then] doth their king 4428 inherit 3423 8804 Gad 1410, and his people 5971 dwell 3427 8804 in his cities 5892?(Concerning: or, Against)(their king: or, Melcom)

49:2 Therefore, behold, the days 3117 come 935 8802, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, that I will cause an alarm 8643 of war 4421 to be heard 8085 8689 in Rabbah 7237 of the Ammonites 1121 5983; and it shall be a desolate 8077 heap 8510, and her daughters 1323 shall be burned 3341 8799 with fire 784: then shall Israel 3478 be heir 3423 8804 unto them that were his heirs 3423 8802, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

49:3 Howl 3213 8685, O Heshbon 2809, for Ai 5857 is spoiled 7703 8795: cry 6817 8798, ye daughters 1323 of Rabbah 7237, gird 2296 8798 you with sackcloth 8242; lament 5594 8798, and run to and fro 7751 8708 by the hedges 1448; for their king 4428 shall go 3212 8799 into captivity 1473, [and] his priests 3548 and his princes 8269 together 3162.(their king: or, Melcom)

49:4 Wherefore gloriest 1984 8691 thou in the valleys 6010, thy flowing 2100 8802 valley 6010, O backsliding 7728 daughter 1323? that trusted 982 8802 in her treasures 214, [saying], Who shall come 935 8799 unto me?(thy…: or, thy valley floweth away)

49:5 Behold, I will bring 935 8688 a fear 6343 upon thee, saith 5002 8803 the Lord 136 GOD 3069 of hosts 6635, from all those that be about 5439 thee; and ye shall be driven out 5080 8738 every man 376 right forth 6440; and none shall gather up 6908 8764 him that wandereth 5074 8802.

49:6 And afterward 310 I will bring again 7725 8686 the captivity 7622 of the children 1121 of Ammon 5983, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

49:7 Concerning Edom 123, thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; [Is] wisdom 2451 no more in Teman 8487? is counsel 6098 perished 6 8804 from the prudent 995 8801? is their wisdom 2451 vanished 5628 8738?

49:8 Flee 5127 8798 ye, turn back 6437 8717, dwell 3427 8800 deep 6009 8689, O inhabitants 3427 8802 of Dedan 1719; for I will bring 935 8689 the calamity 343 of Esau 6215 upon him, the time 6256 [that] I will visit 6485 8804 him.(turn…: or, they are turned back)

49:9 If grapegatherers 1219 8802 come 935 8804 to thee, would they not leave 7604 8686 [some] gleaning grapes 5955? if thieves 1590 by night 3915, they will destroy 7843 8689 till they have enough 1767.(till…: Heb. their sufficiency)

49:10 But I have made Esau 6215 bare 2834 8804, I have uncovered 1540 8765 his secret places 4565, and he shall not be able 3201 8799 to hide 2247 8736 himself: his seed 2233 is spoiled 7703 8795, and his brethren 251, and his neighbours 7934, and he [is] not.

49:11 Leave 5800 8798 thy fatherless children 3490, I will preserve [them] alive 2421 8762; and let thy widows 490 trust 982 8799 in me.

49:12 For thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Behold, they whose judgment 4941 [was] not to drink 8354 8800 of the cup 3563 have assuredly 8354 8800 drunken 8354 8799; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether 5352 8800 go unpunished 5352 8735? thou shalt not go unpunished 5352 8735, but thou shalt surely 8354 8800 drink 8354 8799 [of it].

49:13 For I have sworn 7650 8738 by myself, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, that Bozrah 1224 shall become a desolation 8047, a reproach 2781, a waste 2721, and a curse 7045; and all the cities 5892 thereof shall be perpetual 5769 wastes 2723.

49:14 I have heard 8085 8804 a rumour 8052 from the LORD 3068, and an ambassador 6735 is sent 7971 8803 unto the heathen 1471, [saying], Gather ye together 6908 8690, and come 935 8798 against her, and rise up 6965 8798 to the battle 4421.

49:15 For, lo, I will make 5414 8804 thee small 6996 among the heathen 1471, [and] despised 959 8803 among men 120.

49:16 Thy terribleness 8606 hath deceived 5377 8689 thee, [and] the pride 2087 of thine heart 3820, O thou that dwellest 7931 8802 in the clefts 2288 of the rock 5553, that holdest 8610 8802 the height 4791 of the hill 1389: though thou shouldest make thy nest 7064 as high 1361 8686 as the eagle 5404, I will bring thee down 3381 8686 from thence, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

49:17 Also Edom 123 shall be a desolation 8047: every one that goeth 5674 8802 by it shall be astonished 8074 8799, and shall hiss 8319 8799 at all the plagues 4347 thereof.

49:18 As in the overthrow 4114 of Sodom 5467 and Gomorrah 6017 and the neighbour 7934 [cities] thereof, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, no man 376 shall abide 3427 8799 there, neither shall a son 1121 of man 120 dwell 1481 8799 in it.

49:19 Behold, he shall come up 5927 8799 like a lion 738 from the swelling 1347 of Jordan 3383 against the habitation 5116 of the strong 386: but I will suddenly 7280 8686 make him run away 7323 8686 from her: and who [is] a chosen 977 8803 [man, that] I may appoint 6485 8799 over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time 3259 8686? and who [is] that shepherd 7462 8802 that will stand 5975 8799 before 6440 me?(appoint me…: or, convent me in judgment?)

49:20 Therefore hear 8085 8798 the counsel 6098 of the LORD 3068, that he hath taken 3289 8804 against Edom 123; and his purposes 4284, that he hath purposed 2803 8804 against the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Teman 8487: Surely the least 6810 of the flock 6629 shall draw them out 5498 8799: surely he shall make their habitations 5116 desolate 8074 8686 with them.

49:21 The earth 776 is moved 7493 8804 at the noise 6963 of their fall 5307 8800, at the cry 6818 the noise 6963 thereof was heard 8085 8738 in the Red 5488 sea 3220.(Red sea: Heb. Weedy sea)

49:22 Behold, he shall come up 5927 8799 and fly 1675 8799 as the eagle 5404, and spread 6566 8799 his wings 3671 over Bozrah 1224: and at that day 3117 shall the heart 3820 of the mighty men 1368 of Edom 123 be as the heart 3820 of a woman 802 in her pangs 6887 8688.

49:23 Concerning Damascus 1834. Hamath 2574 is confounded 954 8804, and Arpad 774: for they have heard 8085 8804 evil 7451 tidings 8052: they are fainthearted 4127 8738; [there is] sorrow 1674 on the sea 3220; it cannot 3201 8799 be quiet 8252 8687.(fainthearted: Heb. melted)(on…: or, as on the sea)

49:24 Damascus 1834 is waxed feeble 7503 8804, [and] turneth 6437 8689 herself to flee 5127 8800, and fear 7374 hath seized 2388 8689 on [her]: anguish 6869 and sorrows 2256 have taken 270 8804 her, as a woman in travail 3205 8802.

49:25 How is the city 5892 of praise 8416 not left 5800 8795, the city 7151 of my joy 4885!

49:26 Therefore her young men 970 shall fall 5307 8799 in her streets 7339, and all the men 582 of war 4421 shall be cut off 1826 8735 in that day 3117, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.

49:27 And I will kindle 3341 8689 a fire 784 in the wall 2346 of Damascus 1834, and it shall consume 398 8804 the palaces 759 of Benhadad 1130.

49:28 Concerning Kedar 6938, and concerning the kingdoms 4467 of Hazor 2674, which Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 shall smite 5221 8689, thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Arise 6965 8798 ye, go up 5927 8798 to Kedar 6938, and spoil 7703 8798 the men 1121 of the east 6924.

49:29 Their tents 168 and their flocks 6629 shall they take away 3947 8799: they shall take 5375 8799 to themselves their curtains 3407, and all their vessels 3627, and their camels 1581; and they shall cry 7121 8804 unto them, Fear 4032 [is] on every side 5439.

49:30 Flee 5127 8798, get 5110 8798 you far off 3966, dwell 3427 8800 deep 6009 8689, O ye inhabitants 3427 8802 of Hazor 2674, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068; for Nebuchadrezzar 5019 king 4428 of Babylon 894 hath taken counsel 6098 3289 8804 against you, and hath conceived 2803 8804 a purpose 4284 against you.(get…: Heb. flit greatly)

49:31 Arise 6965 8798, get you up 5927 8798 unto the wealthy 7961 nation 1471, that dwelleth 3427 8802 without care 983, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, which have neither gates 1817 nor bars 1280, [which] dwell 7931 8799 alone 910.(wealthy: or, that is at ease)

49:32 And their camels 1581 shall be a booty 957, and the multitude 1995 of their cattle 4735 a spoil 7998: and I will scatter 2219 8765 into all winds 7307 them [that are] in the utmost 7112 8803 corners 6285; and I will bring 935 8686 their calamity 343 from all sides 5676 thereof, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.(in…: Heb. cut off into corners, or, that have the corners of their hair polled)

49:33 And Hazor 2674 shall be a dwelling 4583 for dragons 8577, [and] a desolation 8077 for 5704 ever 5769: there shall no man 376 abide 3427 8799 there, nor [any] son 1121 of man 120 dwell 1481 8799 in it.

49:34 The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 that came to Jeremiah 3414 the prophet 5030 against Elam 5867 in the beginning 7225 of the reign 4438 of Zedekiah 6667 king 4428 of Judah 3063, saying 559 8800,

49:35 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635; Behold, I will break 7665 8799 the bow 7198 of Elam 5867, the chief 7225 of their might 1369.

49:36 And upon Elam 5867 will I bring 935 8689 the four 702 winds 7307 from the four 702 quarters 7098 of heaven 8064, and will scatter 2219 8765 them toward all those winds 7307; and there shall be no nation 1471 whither the outcasts 5080 8737 of Elam 5867 8675 5769 shall not come 935 8799.

49:37 For I will cause Elam 5867 to be dismayed 2865 8689 before 6440 their enemies 341 8802, and before 6440 them that seek 1245 8764 their life 5315: and I will bring 935 8689 evil 7451 upon them, [even] my fierce 2740 anger 639, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068; and I will send 7971 8765 the sword 2719 after 310 them, till I have consumed 3615 8763 them:

49:38 And I will set 7760 8804 my throne 3678 in Elam 5867, and will destroy 6 8689 from thence the king 4428 and the princes 8269, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

49:39 But it shall come to pass in the latter 319 days 3117, [that] I will bring again 7725 8686 8675 7725 8799 the captivity 7622 8675 7622 of Elam 5867, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.
