Jeremiah Chapter 49

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?

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.

4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O 
backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall 
come unto me?

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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jeremiah Chapter 50

1 The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the land of 
the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; 
publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, 
Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are 
broken in pieces.

3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall 
make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, 
they shall depart, both man and beast.

4 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of 
Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and 
weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.

5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, 
Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that 
shall not be forgotten.

6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go 
astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from 
mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.

7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We 
offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of 
justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.

8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of 
the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.

9 For, lo, I will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly 
of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves 
in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows shall 
be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.

10 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, 
saith the LORD.

11 Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of mine 
heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as 
bulls;

12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be 
ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a 
dry land, and a desert.

13 Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it 
shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be 
astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.

14 Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend 
the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the 
LORD.

15 Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her 
foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the 
vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do 
unto her.

16 Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in 
the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn 
every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land.

17 Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first 
the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king 
of Babylon hath broken his bones.

18 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I 
will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished the 
king of Assyria.

19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on 
Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount Ephraim 
and Gilead.

20 In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of 
Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of 
Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.

21 Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the 
inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the 
LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.

22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.

23 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is 
Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

24 I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and 
thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast 
striven against the LORD.

25 The LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons 
of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the 
land of the Chaldeans.

26 Come against her from the utmost border, open her storehouses: cast 
her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.

27 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto 
them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.

28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to 
declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his 
temple.

29 Call together the archers against Babylon: all ye that bend the bow, 
camp against it round about; let none thereof escape: recompense her 
according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do unto her: 
for she hath been proud against the LORD, against the Holy One of Israel.

30 Therefore shall her young men fall in the streets, and all her men of 
war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD.

31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of 
hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee.

32 And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him 
up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all 
round about him.

33 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children 
of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held 
them fast; they refused to let them go.

34 Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall 
throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and 
disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the 
inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.

36 A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: a sword is upon her 
mighty men; and they shall be dismayed.

37 A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all 
the mingled people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become 
as women: a sword is upon her treasures; and they shall be robbed.

38 A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is 
the land of graven images, and they are mad upon their idols.

39 Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the 
islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it 
shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from 
generation to generation.

40 As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, 
saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of 
man dwell therein.

41 Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and 
many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

42 They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not 
shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride 
upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against 
thee, O daughter of Babylon.

43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands 
waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail.

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

45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against 
Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the 
Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he 
shall make their habitation desolate with them.

46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry 
is heard among the nations.
