Profecía sobre Amón

Acerca de los hijos de Amón.Así dice el SEÑOR:¿No tiene hijos Israel?¿No tiene heredero?¿Por qué, pues, Milcom¹ se ha apoderado de Gad^ay su pueblo se ha establecido en sus ciudades?

2 Por tanto, he aquí, vienen días—declara el SEÑOR—en que haré que se oiga el grito de guerra^acontra Rabá de los hijos de Amón^b,y será convertida en montón de ruinas,y sus ciudades¹ serán incendiadas.Entonces se apoderará Israel de los que lo poseían^c—dice el SEÑOR.3 Gime, Hesbón^a, porque Hai ha sido destruida^b.Clamad, hijas de Rabá,ceñíos^c de cilicio y lamentaos,corred de un lado a otro por entre los muros,porque Milcom¹ irá al destierrojunto con sus sacerdotes y sus príncipes^d.4 ¡Cómo te jactas^a de los valles!Tu valle se desvanece,hija infiel^b,la que confía en sus tesoros^c, diciendo:«¿Quién vendrá contra mí^d?».5 He aquí, traigo sobre ti terror—declara el Señor, DIOS¹^a de los ejércitos—de todos tus alrededores^b;y seréis lanzados cada uno delante de sí,y no habrá quien reúna a los fugitivos^c.6 Pero después restauraréel bienestar¹^a de los hijos de Amón—declara el SEÑOR.

Profecía sobre Edom

7 Acerca de Edom.Así dice el SEÑOR^a de los ejércitos:¿No hay ya sabiduría^b en Temán?¿Se ha perdido el consejo^c de los prudentes?¿Se ha corrompido su sabiduría?

8 Huid, volved, morad en las profundidades,habitantes de Dedán^a,porque la ruina de Esaú traeré¹ sobre élal momento de castigarlo²^b.9 Si vinieran a ti vendimiadores,¿no dejarían rebuscos?Si vinieran ladrones de noche,solo destruirían hasta que les bastara¹^a.10 Pero yo he despojado totalmente a Esaú,he descubierto sus escondrijos^ay no podrá esconderse.Ha sido destruida su descendencia¹, sus hermanosy vecinos, y él ya no existe^b.11 Deja a tus huérfanos, yo los conservaré con vida;que tus viudas^a confíen en mí.

12 Pues así dice el SEÑOR: He aquí, los que no estaban condenados a¹ beber la copa, ciertamente la beberán^a, ¿y serás tú absuelto por completo? No serás absuelto, sino que ciertamente la beberás^b. 13 Porque por mí he jurado—declara el SEÑOR^a—que Bosra será motivo de horror, de oprobio, de ruina y de maldición^b; todas sus ciudades se convertirán en ruinas perpetuas^c.

14 He oído un mensaje de parte del SEÑOR,y un mensajero es enviado^a entre las naciones, diciendo:Reuníos y venid contra él^b,y levantaos para la guerra^c.15 Pues he aquí, pequeño te he hecho entre las naciones,menospreciado entre los hombres.16 En cuanto al terror que infundías¹,te ha engañado la soberbia de tu corazón;tú que vives en las hendiduras de las peñas²,que ocupas la cumbre del monte.Aunque hagas tu nido^a tan alto como el del águila^b,de allí te haré bajar—declara el SEÑOR^c.

17 Y Edom se convertirá en objeto de horror; todo el que pase por él se quedará atónito y silbará^a a causa de todas sus heridas^b. 18 Como en la destrucción de Sodoma y Gomorra y de sus ciudades vecinas—dice el SEÑOR—nadie habitará allí, ni residirá en él hijo de hombre^a. 19 He aquí que uno subirá como león de la espesura¹ del Jordán^a contra el pastizal de perenne verdor², y³ en un instante lo haré huir de él, y al que sea escogido nombraré sobre él^b. Porque ¿quién es como yo^c y quién me citará a juicio? ¿Quién es el pastor que me podrá resistir^d?

20 Por tanto, oíd el plan que el SEÑOR ha trazado contra Edom, y los designios que ha decretado contra los habitantes de Temán: ciertamente los arrastrarán, aun a los más pequeños del rebaño^a; ciertamente a causa de ellos hará una desolación de su pastizal¹^b. 21 Al estruendo de su caída tiembla la tierra; hay un clamor. Hasta el mar^a Rojo¹ se oye su voz. 22 He aquí, se remonta, vuela veloz como un águila y extiende sus alas contra¹^a Bosra. En aquel día el corazón de los valientes de Edom será como el corazón de una mujer de parto^b.

Profecía sobre Damasco

23 Acerca de Damasco^a.Avergonzadas están Hamat y Arfad^b.Porque han oído malas noticias^cestán desalentadas.Hay ansiedad^d como en el marque no se puede calmar^e.

24 Desamparada está Damasco;se ha vuelto para huir,y el pánico se ha apoderado de ella;angustia y dolores la oprimencomo a mujer de parto^a.25 ¿Cómo es que no ha sido abandonada la ciudad alabada,la ciudad de mi regocijo^a?26 Por eso sus jóvenes caerán en sus calles,y todos los hombres de guerra seránsilenciados¹ en aquel día—declara el SEÑOR de los ejércitos^a.27 Y prenderé fuego al muro de Damascoque consumirá los palacios¹ de Ben-adad^a.

Profecía sobre Cedar y Hazor

28 Acerca de Cedar y de los reinos de Hazor, que derrotó Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia. Así dice el SEÑOR:Levantaos, subid a Cedary destruid a los hijos^a del oriente^b.

29 Sus tiendas^a y sus rebaños serán tomados;las cortinas de sus tiendas, todos sus bienes y sus camellos se los llevarán^b,y gritarán el uno al otro: «¡Terror por todas partes^c!».30 Escapaos, huid; morad en las profundidades,habitantes de Hazor—declara el SEÑOR—,porque Nabucodonosor, rey de Babilonia^a, ha concebido un plan contra vosotros,ha trazado un designio contra vosotros.31 Levantaos, subid contra una nación tranquila,que vive confiada^a—declara el SEÑOR.No tiene puertas ni cerrojos;viven solitarios^b.32 Sus camellos serán el despojo,y la multitud de sus ganados el botín;esparciré a todos los vientos^a a los que se rapan las sienes,y de todos lados les traeré su ruina^b—declara el SEÑOR.33 Y Hazor será guarida de chacales,una desolación para siempre;nadie habitará allí,ni residirá en ella hijo de hombre^a.

Profecía sobre Elam

34 Palabra del SEÑOR que vino al profeta Jeremías acerca de Elam^a al comienzo del reinado de Sedequías, rey de Judá, diciendo^b: 35 Así dice el SEÑOR de los ejércitos:«He aquí, quebraré el arco de Elam^a,lo mejor¹ de su fortaleza.

36 »Y traeré sobre Elam los cuatro vientosdesde los cuatro extremos del cielo^a,y a todos estos vientos los esparciré;no habrá nación^badonde no vayan los expulsados de Elam.37 »Destrozaré¹ a Elam delante de sus enemigosy delante de los que buscan sus vidas;traeré sobre ellos calamidad^a,el ardor de mi ira^b»—declara el SEÑOR—«y enviaré tras ellos la espadahasta que los haya acabado^c.38 »Entonces pondré mi trono en Elam,y allí destruiré al rey y a los príncipes»—declara el SEÑOR.39 «Pero sucederá en los postreros díasque restauraré el bienestar¹ de Elam»—declara el SEÑOR^a.

Prophecy against Ammon

Concerning the sons of ^aAmmon. Thus says the LORD:“Does Israel have no sons?Or has he no heirs?Why then has ¹Malcam taken possession of GadAnd his people settled in its cities?

Prophecy against Edom

7 Concerning ^aEdom.Thus says the LORD of hosts,“Is there no longer any ^bwisdom in ^cTeman?Has good counsel been lost to the prudent?Has their wisdom decayed?8 “Flee away, turn back, dwell in the depths,O inhabitants of ^aDedan,For I ¹will bring the ^bdisaster of Esau upon himAt the time I ²punish him.9 “^aIf grape gatherers came to you,Would they not leave gleanings?If thieves came by night,They would destroy only ¹until they had enough.10 “But I have ^astripped Esau bare,I have uncovered his hiding placesSo that he will not be able to conceal himself;His ¹offspring has been destroyed along with his ²relativesAnd his neighbors, and ^bhe is no more.11 “Leave your ¹^aorphans behind, I will keep them alive;And let your ^bwidows trust in Me.”

12 For thus says the LORD, “Behold, those ¹who were not sentenced to drink the ^acup will certainly drink it, and are you the one who will be ^bcompletely acquitted? You will not be acquitted, but you will certainly drink it. 13 For I have ^asworn by Myself,” declares the LORD, “that ^bBozrah will become an ^cobject of horror, a reproach, a ruin and a curse; and all its cities will become perpetual ruins.”

14 I have ^aheard a message from the LORD,And an ^benvoy is sent among the nations, saying,“^cGather yourselves together and come against her,And rise up for battle!”15 “For behold, I have made you small among the nations,Despised among men.16 “As for the terror of you,The arrogance of your heart has deceived you,O you who live in the clefts of ¹the ^arock,Who occupy the height of the hill.Though you make your nest as ^bhigh as an eagle’s,I will ^cbring you down from there,” declares the LORD.

17 “Edom will become an ^aobject of horror; everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will ^bhiss at all its wounds. 18 Like the ^aoverthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,” says the LORD, “^bno one will live there, nor will a son of man reside in it. 19 ^aBehold, one will come up like a lion from the ¹^bthickets of the Jordan against ²a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will make him run away from it, and whoever is ^cchosen I shall appoint over it. For who is ^dlike Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd ^ewho can stand against Me?”

There is an outcry! The noise of it has been heard at the ¹Red Sea. 22 Behold, ¹He will mount up and ^aswoop like an eagle and spread out His wings ²against Bozrah; and the ^bhearts of the mighty men of Edom in that day will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
