JEREMIAH
49.32
- For I will suddenly make him run away from it,
- And whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it;
- For who is like Me? and who will appoint Me a time?
- And who is that shepherd that will stand before Me?
- 20Therefore hear ye 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 drag them away,
- Surely their habitation shall be appalled at them.
- 21The earth quaketh at the noise of their fall;
- There is a cry, the noise whereof is heard in the Red Sea.
- 22Behold, he shall come up and swoop down as the vulture,
- And spread out his wings against Bozrah;
- And the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day
- Shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23Of Damascus.
- Hamath is ashamed, and Arpad;
- For they have heard evil tidings, they are melted away;
- There is trouble in the sea;
- It cannot be quiet.
- 24Damascus is waxed feeble, she turneth herself to flee,
- And trembling hath seized on her;
- Anguish and pangs have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
- 25'How is the city of praise left unrepaired,
- The city of my joy?'
- 26Therefore her young men shall fall in her broad places,
- And all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day,
- Saith the Lord of hosts.
- 27And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus,
- And it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
28Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote.
- Thus saith the Lord:
- Arise ye, go up against Kedar,
- And spoil the children of the east.
- 29Their tents and their flocks shall they take,
- They shall carry away for themselves their curtains,
- And all their vessels, and their camels;
- And they shall proclaim against them a terror on every side.
- 30Flee ye, flit 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.
- 31Arise, get you up against a nation that is at ease,
- That dwelleth without care, saith the Lord;
- That have neither gates nor bars,
- That dwell alone.
- 32And their camels shall be a booty,
- And the multitude of their cattle a spoil;
- And I will scatter unto all winds them that have the corners polled;
- And I will bring their calamity from every side of them, saith the Lord.
