his people dwell in his cities? |
|
|

|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Jeremiah 49:3 |

Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye

hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes
together. |

of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will
visit him. |

If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not
leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have
enough. |

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,

|
Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve
them alive; and let thy widows trust in me. |

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. |

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. |
|
|
|

Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that
goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof. |

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. |

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the
swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make

who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that
will stand before me? |

are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof,
saith the LORD. |

the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah,
saying, |
|
|
|
|

|
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will
break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might. |
|
|

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. |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 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 the LORD; and I will send the sword after them,
till I have consumed them: |
|
|
|
|
| Jeremiah 49:38 |
|
And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy
from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD. |

that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD. |
