Judgment on the Ammonites
Concerning the Ammonites, this is what the LORD says: Amo 1:13-15Deu 23:3Ezk 25:2-10Zep 2:8-112Ch 20:1Ezk 21:28-32Jer 25:21Jer 49:7
“Has Israel no sons?
Is he without heir?
Why then has Milcom 1taken possession of Gad?
Why have his people settled in their cities?
Therefore, behold, the days are coming, Jer 4:19Deu 3:11Ezk 21:202Sa 11:1Amo 1:14Ezk 25:4-62Sa 12:27-29Ezk 16:46-55
declares the LORD,
when I will sound the battle cry
against Rabbah of the Ammonites.
It will become a heap of ruins,
and its villages will be burned.
Then Israel will drive out their dispossessors,
says the LORD.
Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai has been destroyed; Jer 48:7Isa 15:2Jer 48:371Ki 11:331Ki 11:52Ki 23:13Jer 4:8Jer 46:25
cry out, O daughters of Rabbah!
Put on sackcloth and mourn;
run back and forth within your walls,
for Milcom will go into exile
together with his priests and officials.
Why do you boast of your valleys— 1Ti 6:17Jer 21:13Jer 9:23Jer 3:14Jer 48:7Psa 49:6Psa 52:7Psa 62:10
your valleys so fruitful, 2
O faithless daughter?
You trust in your riches and say,
‘Who can come against me?’
Behold, I am about to bring terror upon you, Jer 46:5Jer 49:292Ki 19:72Ki 7:6-7Amo 4:3Isa 16:3Jer 15:8Jer 20:4
declares the Lord GOD of Hosts,
from all those around you.
You will each be driven headlong,
with no one to regather the fugitives.
Yet afterward I will restore the Ammonites from captivity, 3” Jer 49:39Jer 48:47Ezk 16:53Isa 19:18-23Isa 23:18Jer 46:26
declares the LORD.
Judgment on Edom
(Obadiah 1:1–14)
Concerning Edom, this is what the LORD of Hosts says: Amo 1:11-12Ezk 25:12-14Gen 25:30Gen 36:15Jer 25:21Jer 49:20Gen 36:11Job 2:11
“Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?
Has counsel perished from the prudent?
Has their wisdom decayed?
Turn and run! Jer 25:23Jer 46:21Isa 21:13Jer 49:301Sa 13:6Amo 9:1-3Isa 2:21Jdg 6:2
Lie low, O dwellers of Dedan,
for I will bring disaster on Esau
at the time I punish him.
If grape gatherers came to you, Oba 1:5-6Isa 17:6
would they not leave some gleanings?
Were thieves to come in the night,
would they not steal only what they wanted?
But I will strip Esau bare; Isa 17:14Mal 1:3-4Amo 9:3Isa 14:20-22Isa 45:3Jer 23:24Oba 1:9Psa 37:28
I will uncover his hiding places,
and he will be unable to conceal himself.
His descendants will be destroyed
along with his relatives and neighbors,
and he will be no more.
Abandon your orphans; I will preserve their lives. Psa 68:5Hos 14:3Jas 1:271Ti 5:5Deu 10:18Jon 4:11Mal 3:5Pro 23:10-11
Let your widows trust in Me.”
For this is what the LORD says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you must drink it too. Jer 25:28-29Oba 1:161Pe 4:17-18Jer 25:15Jer 30:11Jer 46:27Lam 4:21-22Pro 17:5 For by Myself I have sworn, declares the LORD, that Bozrah will become a desolation, a disgrace, a ruin, and a curse, and all her cities will be in ruins forever.” Gen 22:16Gen 36:33Isa 34:6Amo 1:12Amo 6:8Isa 34:9-15Isa 45:23Isa 63:1
I have heard a message from the LORD; Isa 30:4Ezk 7:25-26Isa 13:2-3Isa 18:2-3Isa 37:7Jer 50:9-16Jer 51:11Jer 51:27-28
an envoy has been sent to the nations:
“Assemble yourselves to march against her!
Rise up for battle!”
“For behold, I will make you small among nations, 1Sa 2:301Sa 2:7-8Luk 1:51Mic 7:10Oba 1:2Psa 53:5
despised among men.
The terror you cause Amo 9:2Isa 49:25Job 39:27Isa 14:13-15Oba 1:3-4Pro 16:18Pro 29:23Ezk 28:11-19
and the pride of your heart
have deceived you,
O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks, 4
O occupiers of the mountain summit.
Though you elevate your nest like the eagle,
even from there I will bring you down,”
declares the LORD.
“Edom will become an object of horror. Ezk 35:7Jer 50:13Jer 49:131Ki 9:8Jer 18:16Jer 51:372Ch 7:20-21Ezk 25:13
All who pass by will be appalled
and will scoff at all her wounds.
As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown Deu 29:23Jer 49:33Amo 4:11Gen 19:24-25Jer 50:40Job 18:15-18Zep 2:92Pe 2:6
along with their neighbors,”
says the LORD,
“no one will dwell there;
no man will abide there.
Behold, one will come up like a lion Jer 12:5Jer 30:21Exo 15:11Jer 50:44-46Job 41:10Job 9:19Jos 3:151Ch 12:15
from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered pasture.
For in an instant I will chase Edom from her land.
Who is the chosen one I will appoint for this?
For who is like Me, and who can challenge Me?
What shepherd can stand against Me?”
Therefore hear the plans Jer 50:45Mal 1:3-4Jer 49:71Co 1:27-29Act 4:28Eph 1:11Isa 14:24-27Isa 46:10-11
that the LORD has drawn up against Edom
and the strategies He has devised
against the people of Teman:
Surely the little ones of the flock will be dragged away;
certainly their pasture will be made desolate because of them. 5
At the sound of their fall the earth will quake; Jer 50:46Ezk 21:16Ezk 26:15-18Ezk 32:10Isa 14:4-15Rev 18:10
their cry will resound to the Red Sea. 6
Look! An eagle will soar and swoop down, Jer 48:40-41Hos 8:1Isa 13:8Deu 28:49Jer 30:6Jer 4:13Jer 49:24Jer 6:24
spreading its wings over Bozrah.
In that day the hearts of Edom’s mighty men
will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
Judgment on Damascus
(Isaiah 17:1–14)
Concerning Damascus: 2Ki 18:34Isa 10:9Gen 14:15Gen 15:2Isa 57:202Ki 19:13Nam 2:10Num 13:21
“Hamath and Arpad are put to shame,
for they have heard a bad report;
they are agitated like the sea; 7
their anxiety cannot be calmed.
Damascus has become feeble;
she has turned to flee.
Panic has gripped her;
anguish and pain have seized her
like a woman in labor.
How is the city of praise not forsaken, Jer 33:9Jer 51:41Dan 4:30Isa 1:26Isa 14:4-6Jer 48:2Jer 48:39Psa 37:35-36
the town that brings Me joy?
For her young men will fall in the streets, Jer 50:30Amo 4:10Jer 11:22Ezk 27:27Jer 51:3-4Jer 9:21Lam 2:21
and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,”
declares the LORD of Hosts.
“I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; 1Ki 15:18-20Amo 1:3-51Ki 20:1-222Ki 13:32Ki 13:5Jer 43:12
it will consume the fortresses of Ben-hadad.”
Judgment on Kedar and Hazor
Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated, this is what the LORD says: Gen 25:13Isa 11:14Jdg 6:3Ezk 27:21Isa 21:16-17Jer 2:10Jer 49:141Ch 1:29
“Rise up, advance against Kedar,
and destroy the people of the east!
They will take their tents and flocks, Jer 46:5Jer 6:25Hab 3:7Psa 120:51Ch 5:20-212Co 4:82Co 7:5Gen 37:25
their tent curtains and all their goods.
They will take their camels for themselves.
They will shout to them: ‘Terror is on every side!’
Run! Escape quickly! Isa 10:7Jer 25:9Jer 27:6Jer 25:24-25
Lie low, O residents of Hazor,”
declares the LORD,
“for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
has drawn up a plan against you;
he has devised a strategy against you.
Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, Ezk 38:11Deu 33:28Isa 47:8Mic 7:14Num 23:9Ezk 30:9Ezk 39:6Isa 32:11
one that dwells securely,”
declares the LORD.
“They have no gates or bars;
they live alone.
Their camels will become plunder, Jer 9:26Ezk 12:14-15Ezk 5:10Jer 25:23Jer 49:36Deu 28:64Ezk 5:12
and their large herds will be spoil.
I will scatter to the wind in every direction
those who shave their temples;
I will bring calamity on them
from all sides,”
declares the LORD.
“Hazor will become a haunt for jackals, 8 Jer 10:22Jer 51:37Jer 9:11Isa 13:20-22Mal 1:3Zep 2:13-15Zep 2:9Isa 14:23
a desolation forever.
No one will dwell there;
no man will abide there.”
Judgment on Elam
This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah. Dan 8:2Gen 10:22Gen 14:1Jer 25:25Isa 21:2Act 2:9Ezr 4:9Isa 11:11 This is what the LORD of Hosts says: Isa 22:6Jer 51:56Psa 46:9Jer 50:14Jer 50:29
“Behold, I will shatter Elam’s bow,
the mainstay of their might.
I will bring the four winds against Elam Jer 49:32Amo 9:9Dan 8:8Ezk 5:10Jer 30:17Rev 7:1Dan 11:4Dan 8:22
from the four corners of the heavens,
and I will scatter them
to all these winds.
There will not be a nation
to which Elam’s exiles will not go.
So I will shatter Elam before their foes, Jer 9:16Jer 48:2Ezk 12:14Ezk 32:23Ezk 5:12Ezk 5:2Jer 30:24Jer 34:20-21
before those who seek their lives.
I will bring disaster upon them,
even My fierce anger,”
declares the LORD.
“I will send out the sword after them
until I finish them off.
I will set My throne in Elam, Dan 7:9-14Jer 43:10
and destroy its king and officials,”
declares the LORD.
“Yet in the last days, Jer 48:47Amo 9:14Dan 10:14Dan 2:28Ezk 16:53-55Ezk 29:14Ezk 38:16Ezk 39:25
I will restore Elam from captivity, 9”
declares the LORD.
