1 Ez 21.28-32;25.1-7;Am 1.13-15;Zep 2.8-11This is what the Lordsaid about Ammon: "Where are the men of Israel? Is there no one to defend their land? Why have they let the people who worship Molech take the territory of the tribe of Gad and settle there? 2 But the time is coming when I will make the people of the capital city of Rabbahhear the noise of battle, and it will be left in ruins and its villages burned to the ground. Then Israel will take its land back from those who took it from them. 3 People of Heshbon, cry out! Aiis destroyed! Women of Rabbah, go into mourning! Put on sackcloth and mourn. Run about in confusion. Your god Molech will be taken into exile, together with his priests and princes. 4 Why do you unfaithful people boast? Your strength is failing. Why do you trust in your power and say that no one would dare attack you? 5 I will bring terror on you from every side. You will all run away. Each one will run for his life, and there will be no one to bring your troops together again.
6 "But later on I will make Ammonprosperous again. I, the Lord, have spoken."
The Lord’s Judgment on Edom
7 Is 34.5-17;63.1-6;Ez 25.12-14;35.1-15;Am 1.11,12;Ob 1-14;Ml 1.2-5Ba 3.22,23This is what the LordAlmighty said about Edom: "Have the people of Edomlost their good judgment? Can their advisers no longer tell them what to do? Has all their wisdom disappeared? 8 People of Dedan, turn and run! Hide! I am going to destroy Esau’s descendants because the time has come for me to punish them. 9 When people pick grapes, they leave a few on the vines, and when robbers come at night, they take only what they want. 10 But I49.10: they leave a few … they take only what they want. 10 But I; or they leave nothing … they take everything. 10 And so I.have stripped Esau’s descendants completely and uncovered their hiding places, so that they can no longer hide. All the people of Edomare destroyed. Not one of them is left. 11 Leave your orphans with me, and I will take care of them. Your widows can depend on me.
12 "If even those who did not deserve to be punished had to drink from the cup of punishment, do you think that you will go unpunished? No, you must drink from the cup! 13 I myself have sworn that the city of Bozrahwill become a horrifying sight and a desert; people will make fun of it and use its name as a curse. All the nearby villages will be in ruins forever. I, the Lord, have spoken."
14 I said, "Edom, I have received a message from the Lord. He has sent a messenger to tell the nations to assemble their armies and to get ready to attack you. 15 The Lordis going to make you weak, and no one will respect you. 16 Your pride has deceived you. No one fears you as much as you think they do. You live on the rocky cliffs, high on top of the mountain; but even though you live as high up as an eagle, the Lordwill bring you down. The Lordhas spoken."
17 The Lordsaid, "The destruction that will come on Edomwill be so terrible that everyone who passes by will be shocked and terrified. 18 Gn 19.24,25The same thing will happen to Edomthat happened to Sodomand Gomorrah, when they and the nearby towns were destroyed. No one will ever live there again. I, the Lord, have spoken. 19 Ws 12.12Like a lion coming out of the thick woods along the Jordan Riverup to the green pasture land, I will come and make the Edomitesrun away suddenly from their country. Then the leader I choose will rule the nation. Who can be compared to me? Who would dare challenge me? What ruler could oppose me? 20 So listen to the plan that I have made against the people of Edom, and to what I intend to do to the people of the city of Teman. Even their children will be dragged off, and everyone will be horrified. 21 When Edomfalls, there will be such a noise that the entire earth will shake, and the cries of alarm will be heard as far away as the Gulf of Aqaba. 22 The enemy will attack Bozrahlike an eagle swooping down with outspread wings. On that day Edom’s soldiers will be as frightened as a woman in labor."
The Lord’s Judgment on Damascus
23 Is 17.1-3;Am 1.3-5;Zec 9.1This is what the Lordsaid about Damascus: "The people in the cities of Hamathand Arpadare worried and troubled because they have heard bad news. Anxiety rolls over them like a sea, and they cannot rest. 24 The people of Damascusare weak and have fled in terror. They are in pain and misery like a woman in labor. 25 The famous city that used to be happy49.25: Some ancient translations happy; Hebrew my happiness.is completely deserted. 26 On that day her young men will be killed in the city streets, and all her soldiers destroyed. 27 I will set the walls of Damascuson fire and will burn down King Benhadad’s palaces. I, the LordAlmighty, have spoken."
Judgment on the Tribe of Kedar and the City of Hazor
28 This is what the Lordsaid about the tribe of Kedarand the districts controlled by Hazor, which were conquered by King Nebuchadnezzarof Babylonia: "Attack the people of Kedarand destroy that tribe of eastern people! 29 Seize their tents and their flocks, their tent curtains and everything in their tents. Take their camels and tell the people, ‘Terror is all around you!’
30 "People of Hazor, I, the Lord, warn you to run far away and hide. King Nebuchadnezzarof Babyloniahas plotted against you, and this is what he says, 31 ‘Come on! We’ll attack those people that feel safe and secure! Their city has no gates or locks and is completely unprotected.’
32 "Take their camels and all their livestock! I will scatter in every direction those people who cut their hair short, and I will bring disaster on them from every side. 33 Hazorwill be made a desert forever, a place where only jackals live. No one will ever live there again. I, the Lord, have spoken."
The Lord’s Judgment on Elam
34 Soon after Zedekiahbecame king of Judah, the LordAlmighty spoke to me about the country of Elam. 35 He said, "I will kill all the archers who have made Elamso powerful. 36 I will make winds blow against Elamfrom all directions, and I will scatter her people everywhere, until there is no country where her refugees have not gone. 37 I will make the people of Elamafraid of their enemies, who want to kill them. In my great anger I will destroy the people of Elamand send armies against them until I have wiped them out. 38 I will destroy their kings and leaders, and set up my throne there. 39 But later on I will make the people of Elamprosperous again. I, the Lord, have spoken."
