Thus says the Lord:<br \/>\n\u201cDoes Israel have no sons?<br \/>\nOr has he no heirs?<br \/>\nWhy then has Malcam taken possession of Gad<br \/>\nAnd his people settled in its cities?<br \/>\n\u201cTherefore behold, the days are coming,\u201d declares the Lord,<br \/>\n\u201cThat I will cause a trumpet blast of war to be heard<br \/>\nAgainst Rabbah of the sons of Ammon;<br \/>\nAnd it will become a desolate heap,<br \/>\nAnd her towns will be set on fire.<br \/>\nThen Israel will take possession of his possessors,\u201d<br \/>\nSays the Lord.<br \/>\n\u201cWail, O Heshbon, for Ai has been destroyed!<br \/>\nCry out, O daughters of Rabbah,<br \/>\nGird yourselves with sackcloth and lament,<br \/>\nAnd rush back and forth inside the walls;<br \/>\nFor Malcam will go into exile<br \/>\nTogether with his priests and his princes.<br \/>\n\u201cHow boastful you are about the valleys!<br \/>\nYour valley is flowing away,<br \/>\nO backsliding daughter<br \/>\nWho trusts in her treasures, saying,<br \/>\n\u2018Who will come against me?\u2019<br \/>\n\u201cBehold, I am going to bring terror upon you,\u201d<br \/>\nDeclares the Lord God of hosts,<br \/>\n\u201cFrom all directions around you;<br \/>\nAnd each of you will be driven out headlong,<br \/>\nWith no one to gather the fugitives together.<br \/>\n\u201cBut afterward I will restore<br \/>\nThe fortunes of the sons of Ammon,\u201d<br \/>\nDeclares the Lord.<\/p>\n<h3>Prophecy against Edom<\/h3>\n<p>Concerning Edom.<br \/>\nThus says the Lord of hosts,<br \/>\n\u201cIs there no longer any wisdom in Teman?<br \/>\nHas good counsel been lost to the prudent?<br \/>\nHas their wisdom decayed?<br \/>\n\u201cFlee away, turn back, dwell in the depths,<br \/>\nO inhabitants of Dedan,<br \/>\nFor I will bring the disaster of Esau upon him<br \/>\nAt the time I punish him.<br \/>\n\u201cIf grape gatherers came to you,<br \/>\nWould they not leave gleanings?<br \/>\nIf thieves came by night,<br \/>\nThey would destroy only until they had enough.<br \/>\n\u201cBut I have stripped Esau bare,<br \/>\nI have uncovered his hiding places<br \/>\nSo that he will not be able to conceal himself;<br \/>\nHis offspring has been destroyed along with his relatives<br \/>\nAnd his neighbors, and he is no more.<br \/>\n\u201cLeave your orphans behind, I will keep them alive;<br \/>\nAnd let your widows trust in Me.\u201d<br \/>\nFor thus says the Lord, \u201cBehold, those who were not sentenced to drink the cup will certainly drink it, and are you the one who will be completely acquitted? You will not be acquitted, but you will certainly drink it. 13 For I have sworn by Myself,\u201d declares the Lord, \u201cthat Bozrah will become an object of horror, a reproach, a ruin and a curse; and all its cities will become perpetual ruins.\u201d<br \/>\nI have heard a message from the Lord,<br \/>\nAnd an envoy is sent among the nations, saying,<br \/>\n\u201cGather yourselves together and come against her,<br \/>\nAnd rise up for battle!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cFor behold, I have made you small among the nations,<br \/>\nDespised among men.<br \/>\n\u201cAs for the terror of you,<br \/>\nThe arrogance of your heart has deceived you,<br \/>\nO you who live in the clefts of the rock,<br \/>\nWho occupy the height of the hill.<br \/>\nThough you make your nest as high as an eagle\u2019s,<br \/>\nI will bring you down from there,\u201d declares the Lord.<br \/>\n\u201cEdom will become an object of horror; everyone who passes by it will be horrified and will hiss at all its wounds. Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,\u201d says the Lord, \u201cno one will live there, nor will a son of man reside in it. Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thickets of the Jordan against a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will make him run away from it, and whoever is chosen I shall appoint over it. For who is like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can stand against Me?\u201d<br \/>\nTherefore hear the plan of the Lord which He has planned 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 desolate because of them. The earth has quaked at the noise of their downfall. There is an outcry! The noise of it has been heard at the Red Sea. Behold, He will mount up and swoop like an eagle and spread out His wings against Bozrah; and the hearts of the mighty men of Edom in that day will be like the heart of a woman in labor.<\/p>\n<h3>Prophecy against Damascus<\/h3>\n<p>Concerning Damascus.<br \/>\n\u201cHamath and Arpad are put to shame,<br \/>\nFor they have heard bad news;<br \/>\nThey are disheartened.<br \/>\nThere is anxiety by the sea,<br \/>\nIt cannot be calmed.<br \/>\n\u201cDamascus has become helpless;<br \/>\nShe has turned away to flee,<br \/>\nAnd panic has gripped her;<br \/>\nDistress and pangs have taken hold of her<br \/>\nLike a woman in childbirth.<br \/>\n\u201cHow the city of praise has not been deserted,<br \/>\nThe town of My joy!<br \/>\n\u201cTherefore, her young men will fall in her streets,<br \/>\nAnd all the men of war will be silenced in that day,\u201d declares the Lord of hosts.<br \/>\n\u201cI will set fire to the wall of Damascus,<br \/>\nAnd it will devour the fortified towers of Ben-hadad.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Prophecy against Kedar and Hazor<\/h3>\n<p>Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated.
