1	Concerning the Ammonites# , thus saith# the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir# ? why then doth their king inherit# Gad, and his people dwell# in his cities? [Concerning: or, Against] [their king: or, Melcom]
			2	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.
			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. [their king: or, Melcom]
			4	Wherefore gloriest# thou in the valleys, thy flowing# valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted# in her treasures, saying , Who shall come# unto me? [thy...: or, thy valley floweth away]
			5	Behold, I will bring# a fear upon thee, saith# the Lord GOD of hosts, 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# .
			6	And afterward I will bring again# the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith# the LORD.
			7	Concerning Edom, thus saith# the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished# from the prudent# ? is their wisdom vanished# ?
			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. [turn...: or, they are turned back]
			9	If grapegatherers# come# to thee, would they not leave# some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy# till they have enough. [till...: Heb. their sufficiency]
			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.
			11	Leave# thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive# ; and let thy widows trust# in me.
			12	For thus saith# the LORD; 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 .
			13	For I have sworn# by myself, saith# the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
			14	I have heard# a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent# unto the heathen, saying , Gather ye together# , and come# against her, and rise up# to the battle.
			15	For, lo, I will make# thee small among the heathen, and despised# among men.
			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# the LORD.
			17	Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth# by it shall be astonished# , and shall hiss# at all the plagues thereof.
			18	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.
			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? [appoint me...: or, convent me in judgment?]
			20	Therefore hear# the counsel of the LORD, 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.
			21	The earth is moved# at the noise of their fall# , at the cry the noise thereof was heard# in the Red sea. [Red sea: Heb. Weedy sea]
			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# .
			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# . [fainthearted: Heb. melted] [on...: or, as on the sea]
			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# .
			25	How is the city of praise not left# , the city of my joy!
			26	Therefore her young men shall fall# in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off# in that day, saith# the LORD of hosts.
			27	And I will kindle# a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume# the palaces of Benhadad.
			28	Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite# , thus saith# the LORD; Arise# ye, go up# to Kedar, and spoil# the men of the east.
			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.
			30	Flee# , get# you far off, dwell# deep# , O ye inhabitants# of Hazor, saith# the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel# # against you, and hath conceived# a purpose against you. [get...: Heb. flit greatly]
			31	Arise# , get you up# unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth# without care, saith# the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell# alone. [wealthy: or, that is at ease]
			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# the LORD. [in...: Heb. cut off into corners, or, that have the corners of their hair polled]
			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.
			34	The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying# ,
			35	Thus saith# the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break# the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
			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# .
			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:
			38	And I will set# my throne in Elam, and will destroy# from thence the king and the princes, saith# the LORD.
			39	But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again# # # # the captivity# # of Elam, saith# the LORD.
