Word Against Ammon

Concerning the sons of aAmmon. Thus says Yahweh:“Does Israel have no sons?Or has he no one who can take possession?Why then has 1Malcam taken possession of GadAnd his people settled in its cities?

2 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares Yahweh,“That I will cause a 1atrumpet blast of war to be heardAgainst bRabbah of the sons of Ammon;And it will become a desolate heap,And her ctowns will be set on fire.Then Israel will take dpossession of his possessors,”Says Yahweh.3 “Wail, O aHeshbon, for bAi has been destroyed!Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah,cGird yourselves with sackcloth and lament,And rush back and forth inside the walls;For 1Malcam will dgo into exileTogether with his priests and his princes.4 “How aboastful you are about the valleys!Your valley is flowing away,O bfaithless daughterWho trusts in her ctreasures, saying,‘dWho will come against me?’5 “Behold, I am going to bring adread upon you,”Declares Lord Yahweh of hosts,“From all around you;And each of you will be bbanished 1headlong,With no one to gather the cone who flees.6 “But afterward I will 1areturnThe 2fortunes of the sons of Ammon,”Declares Yahweh.
Word Against Edom
7 Concerning aEdom.Thus says Yahweh of hosts,“Is there no longer any bwisdom in cTeman?Has counsel been lost to the understanding?Has their wisdom decayed?8 “Flee away, turn back, inhabit 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 have gleanings remain?If thieves came by night,They would ruin only 1until they had enough.10 “But I have astripped Esau bare;I have uncovered his hiding places,So that he will not be able to conceal himself;His seed has been destroyed along with his 1relativesAnd his neighbors, and bhe is no more.11 “Leave your 1aorphans behind, I will keep them alive;And let your bwidows trust in Me.”

12 For thus says Yahweh, “Behold, those who are not under judgment to drink the acup will certainly drink it, but are you the one who will go bcompletely unpunished? You will not go unpunished, but you will certainly drink it. 13 For I have asworn by Myself,” declares Yahweh, “that bBozrah will become an cobject of horror, a reproach, a ruin, and an imprecation; and all its cities will become perpetual 1ruins.”

14 I have aheard a message from Yahweh,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 dwell in the clefts of 1the arock,Who seize the height of the hill.Though you make your nest as bhigh as an eagle’s,I will cbring you down from there,” declares Yahweh.

17 “Edom will become 1an aobject of horror; everyone who passes by it will 2be horrified and will bhiss at all its wounds. 18 Like the aoverthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,” says Yahweh, “bno one will live there, nor will a son of man sojourn in it. 19 aBehold, one will come up like a lion from the 1bthickets of the Jordan against an enduring 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 2summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd ewho can stand against Me?”

20 Therefore hear the acounsel of Yahweh which He has counseled against Edom, and His purposes which He has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: surely they will drag them off, even the little ones of the flock; surely He will make their pasture bdesolate because of them. 21 The aearth has quaked at the noise of their downfall. 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.
