  49:1 ¶
CONCERNING THE SONS OF AMMON thus saith the Lord, Are there no sons in Israel? or have they no one to succeed [them]? wherefore has Michal{gr.Melchol} inherited Gilead{gr.Galaad}, and why shall their people dwell in their cities? |
|
49:1 ¶
Concerning the Ammonites,°°°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Hath Israel°
no°
sons?°
hath he no°
heir?°°
why°
[then] doth their king°
inherit°°°
Gad,°
and his people°
dwell°°
in his cities?° |
|
49:2
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will cause to be heard in Rabbah{gr.Rabbath} a tumult of wars; and they shall become a waste and ruined place, and her altars shall be burned with fire; then shall Israel succeed to his dominion. |
|
49:2
Therefore,°
behold,°
the days°
come,°°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
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°°
Yahweh.° |
|
49:3
Howl, O Heshbon{gr.Esebon}, for Ai{gr.Gai} has perished; cry, ye daughters of Rabbah{gr.Rabbath}, gird yourselves with sack-clothes, and lament; for Michal{gr.Melchol} shall go into banishment, his priests and his princes together. |
|
49:3
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.° |
|
49:4
Why do ye exult in the plains of the Anakim{gr.Enakim}, thou haughty daughter, that trustest in [thy] treasures, that sayest, Who shall come in to me? |
|
49:4
Wherefore°
gloriest°°
thou in the valleys,°
thy flowing°°
valley,°
O backsliding°
daughter?°
that trusted°°
in her treasures,°
[saying], Who°
shall come°°
unto°
me? |
|
49:5
Behold, I [will] bring terror upon thee, saith the Lord, from all the country round about thee; and ye shall be scattered every one right before him, and there is none to gather you. |
|
49:5
Behold,°
I will bring°°
a fear°
upon°
thee, saith°°
Adonai°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
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.°° |
|
49:6
[Absent from Manuscript] |
|
49:6
And afterward°°
I will bring again°°°
the captivity°
of the children°
of Ammon,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
49:7 ¶
CONCERNING EDOM{gr.IDUMEA}, thus saith the Lord; There is no longer wisdom in Teman{gr.Thaeman}, counsel has perished from the wise ones, their wisdom is gone, |
|
49:7 ¶
Concerning Edom,°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth;°
[Is] wisdom°
no°
more°
in Teman?°
is counsel°
perished°°
from the prudent?°°°
is their wisdom°
vanished?°° |
|
49:8
their place has been deceived. Dig deep for a dwelling, ye that inhabit Dedan{gr.Daedam}, for he has wrought grievously: I brought trouble upon him in the time at which I visited him. |
|
49:8
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. |
|
49:9
For grape-gatherers are come, who shall not leave thee a remnant; as thieves by night, they shall lay their hand upon [thy possessions]. |
|
49:9
If°
grapegatherers°°
come°°
to thee, would they not°
leave°°
[some] gleaning grapes?°
if°
thieves°
by night,°
they will destroy°°
till they have enough.° |
|
49:10
For I have stripped Esau, I have uncovered their secret places; they shall have no power to hide themselves, they have perished [each] by the hand of his brother, my neighbour, and it is impossible |
|
49:10
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.° |
|
49:11
for thy fatherless one to be left to live, but I shall live, and the widows trust in me. |
|
49:11
Leave°°
thy fatherless children,°
I°
will preserve [them] alive;°°
and let thy widows°
trust°°
in°
me. |
|
49:12
For thus saith the Lord; They who were not appointed to drink the cup have drunk [it]; and thou shalt by no means be cleared: |
|
49:12
For°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
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]. |
|
49:13
for by myself I have sworn, saith the Lord, that thou shalt be in the midst of her an impassable [land], and a reproach, and a curse; and all her cities shall be desert for ever. |
|
49:13
For°
I have sworn°°
by myself, saith°°
Yahweh,°
that°
Bozrah°
shall become°
a desolation,°
a reproach,°
a waste,°
and a curse;°
and all°
the cities°
thereof shall be°
perpetual°
wastes.° |
|
49:14
I have heard a report from the lord, and he has sent messengers to the nations, [saying], Assemble yourselves, and come against her; rise ye up to war. |
|
49:14
I have heard°°
a rumour°
from°°
Yahweh,°
and an ambassador°
is sent°°
unto the heathen,°
[saying], Gather ye together,°°
and come°°
against°
her, and rise up°°
to the battle.° |
|
49:15
I have made thee small among the nations, utterly contemptible among men. |
|
49:15
For,°
lo,°
I will make°°
thee small°
among the heathen,°
[and] despised°°
among men.° |
|
49:16
Thine insolence has risen up against thee, the fierceness of thine heart has burst the holes of the rocks, it has seized upon the strength of a lofty hill; for as an eagle he set his nest on high: thence will I bring thee down. |
|
49:16
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°°
Yahweh.° |
|
49:17
And Edom{gr.Idumea} shall be a desert: every one that passes by shall hiss at it. |
|
49:17
Also Edom°
shall be°
a desolation:°
every one°
that goeth°°
by°
it shall be astonished,°°
and shall hiss°°
at°
all°
the plagues°
thereof. |
|
49:18
As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrah{gr.Gomorrha} and they that sojourned in her, saith the Lord Almighty, no man shall dwell there, nor shall any son of man inhabit there. |
|
49:18
As in the overthrow°
of Sodom°
and Gomorrah°
and the neighbour°
[cities] thereof, saith°°
Yahweh,°
no°
man°
shall abide°°
there,°
neither°
shall a son°
of man°
dwell°°
in it. |
|
49:19
Behold, he shall come up as a lion out of the midst of Jordan to the place of Aetham: for I will speedily drive them from it, and do ye set the young men against her: for who is like me? and who will withstand me? and who [is] this shepherd, who shall confront me? |
|
49:19
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? |
|
49:20
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he has framed against Edom{gr.Idumea}; and his device, which he has devised against the inhabitants of Teman{gr.Thaeman}: surely the least of the sheep shall be swept off; surely their dwelling shall be made desolate for them. |
|
49:20
Therefore°
hear°°
the counsel°
of Yahweh,°
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. |
|
49:21
For at the sound of their fall the earth was scared, and the cry of the sea was not heard. |
|
49:21
The earth°
is moved°°
at the noise°°
of their fall,°°
at the cry°
the noise°
thereof was heard°°
in the Red°
sea.° |
|
49:22
Behold, he shall look [upon her] as an eagle, and spread forth [his] wings over her strongholds; and the heart of the mighty men of Edom{gr.Idumea} shall be in that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs. |
|
49:22
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.°° |
|
49:23 ¶
CONCERNING DAMASCUS. Hamath{gr.Emath} is brought to shame, and Arphath: for they have heard an evil report: they are amazed, they are angry, they shall be utterly unable to rest. |
|
49:23 ¶
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.°° |
|
49:24
Damascus is utterly weakened, she is put to flight; trembling has seized upon her. |
|
49:24
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.°° |
|
49:25
How has she not left my city, they have loved the village? |
|
49:25
How°
is the city°
of praise°
not°
left,°°
the city°
of my joy!° |
|
49:26
Therefore shall the young men fall in thy streets, and all thy warriors shall fall, saith the Lord. |
|
49:26
Therefore°
her young men°
shall fall°°
in her streets,°
and all°
the men°°
of war°
shall be cut off°°
in that°
day,°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth.° |
|
49:27
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the streets of the son of Hadad{gr.Ader}. |
|
49:27
And I will kindle°°
a fire°
in the wall°
of Damascus,°
and it shall consume°°
the palaces°
of Benhadad.° |
|
49:28 ¶
CONCERNING KEDAR THE QUEEN OF THE PALACE, WHOM NEBUCHADNEZZAR{gr.NABUCHODONOSOR} KING OF BABYLON SMOTE, thus saith the Lord; Arise ye, and go up to Kedar, and fill the sons of Kedem. |
|
49:28 ¶
Concerning Kedar,°
and concerning the kingdoms°
of Hazor,°
which°
Nebuchadrezzar°
king°
of Babylon°
shall smite,°°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Arise°°
ye, go up°°
to°
Kedar,°
and spoil°°°
the men°
of the east.° |
|
49:29
They shall take their tents and their sheep, they shall take for themselves their garments, and all their baggage and their camels; and summon ye destruction against them from every side. |
|
49:29
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.°° |
|
49:30 ¶
Flee ye, dig very deep for a dwelling-place, ye that dwell in the palace; for the king of Babylon has framed a counsel, and devised a device against you. |
|
49:30 ¶
Flee,°°
get°°
you far off,°
dwell°°
deep,°°
O ye inhabitants°°
of Hazor,°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
for°
Nebuchadrezzar°
king°
of Babylon°
hath taken°
counsel°°°
against°
you, and hath conceived°°
a purpose°
against°
you. |
|
49:31
Rise up, and go up against a nation settled [and] dwelling at ease, who have no doors, nor bolts, nor bars, [who] dwell alone. |
|
49:31
Arise,°°
get you up°°
unto°
the wealthy°
nation,°
that dwelleth°°
without care,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
which have neither°
gates°
nor°
bars,°
[which] dwell°°
alone.° |
|
49:32
And their camels shall be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle shall be destroyed: and I will scatter them as chaff with every wind, having their hair cut about their foreheads, I will bring on their overthrow from all sides, saith the Lord. |
|
49:32
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°°
Yahweh.° |
|
49:33
And the palace shall be a resting-place for ostriches, and desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, and no son of man shall dwell there. |
|
49:33
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. |

THE PROPHECIES OF JEREMIAH{gr.JEREMIAS} AGAINST THE NATIONS OF ELAM{gr.AELAM}. |
|
49:34 ¶
The word°
of Yahweh°
that°
came°
to°
Jeremiah°
the prophet°
against°
Elam°
in the beginning°
of the reign°
of Zedekiah°
king°
of Judah,°
saying,°° |
|
49:35
Thus saith the Lord, The bow of Elam{gr.Aelam} is broken, [even] the chief of their power. |
|
49:35
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth;°
Behold,°
I will break°°°
the bow°
of Elam,°
the chief°
of their might.° |
|
49:36
And I will bring upon Elam{gr.Aelam} the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will disperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nation [to] which they shall not come-- [even] the outcasts of Elam{gr.Aelam}. |
|
49:36
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.°° |
|
49:37
And I will put them in fear before their enemies that seek their life; and I will bring evils upon them according to my great anger; and I will send forth my sword after them, until I have utterly destroyed them. |
|
49:37
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°°
Yahweh;°
and I will send°°°
the sword°
after°
them, till°
I have consumed°°
them: |
|
49:38
And I will set my throne in Elam{gr.Aelam}, and will send forth thence king and rulers. |
|
49:38
And I will set°°
my throne°
in Elam,°
and will destroy°°
from thence°°
the king°
and the princes,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
49:39 ¶
But it shall come to pass at the end of days, that I will turn the captivity of Elam{gr.Aelam}, saith the Lord. |
|
49:39 ¶
But it shall come to pass°
in the latter°
days,°
[that] I will bring again°°°°°
the captivity°°
of Elam,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
