24:046:022 The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall
march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers
of wood.

24:046:023 They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it
cannot be searched; because they are more than the
grasshoppers, and are innumerable.

24:046:024 The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be
delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

24:046:025 The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith; Behold, I will
punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their
gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust
in him:

24:046:026 And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their
lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon,
and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be
inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.

24:046:027 But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O
Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy
seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return,
and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

24:046:028 Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I am
with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations
whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of
thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee
wholly unpunished.

24:047:001 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against
the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.

24:047:002 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north,
and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the
land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell
therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of
the land shall howl.

24:047:003 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong
horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of
his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children
for feebleness of hands;

24:047:004 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines,
and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that
remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the
remnant of the country of Caphtor.

24:047:005 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the
remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

24:047:006 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be
quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

24:047:007 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge
against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he
appointed it.

24:048:001 Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and
taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.

24:048:002 There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have
devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from
being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the
sword shall pursue thee.

24:048:003 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great
destruction.

24:048:004 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be
heard.

24:048:005 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up;
for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry
of destruction.

24:048:006 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the
wilderness.

24:048:007 For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy
treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go
forth into captivity with his priests and his princes
together.

24:048:008 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall
escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be
destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.

24:048:009 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the
cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell
therein.

24:048:010 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and
cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

24:048:011 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on
his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste
remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

24:048:012 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will
send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and
shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.

24:048:013 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel
was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

24:048:014 How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?

24:048:015 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen
young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King,
whose name is the LORD of hosts.

24:048:016 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction
hasteth fast.

24:048:017 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know
his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the
beautiful rod!

24:048:018 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy
glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come
upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.

24:048:019 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him
that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?

24:048:020 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell
ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,

24:048:021 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and
upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,

24:048:022 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,

24:048:023 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,

24:048:024 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of
the land of Moab, far or near.

24:048:025 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the
LORD.

24:048:026 Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the
LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall
be in derision.

24:048:027 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among
thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for
joy.

24:048:028 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the
rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides
of the hole's mouth.

24:048:029 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his
loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the
haughtiness of his heart.

24:048:030 I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his
lies shall not so effect it.

24:048:031 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all
Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.

24:048:032 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of
Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to
the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits
and upon thy vintage.

24:048:033 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and
from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the
winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting
shall be no shouting.

24:048:034 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto
Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto
Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also
of Nimrim shall be desolate.

24:048:035 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him
that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense
to his gods.

24:048:036 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine
heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because
the riches that he hath gotten are perished.

24:048:037 For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon
all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

24:048:038 There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of
Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like
a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.

24:048:039 They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab
turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a
dismaying to all them about him.

24:048:040 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and
shall spread his wings over Moab.

24:048:041 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the
mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart
of a woman in her pangs.

24:048:042 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he
hath magnified himself against the LORD.

24:048:043 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O
inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

24:048:044 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he
that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare:
for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their
visitation, saith the LORD.

24:048:045 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of
the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a
flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of
Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

24:048:046 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for
thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.

24:048:047 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter
days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

24:049:001 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?

24:049:002 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.

24:049:003 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.

24:049:004 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O
backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying,
Who shall come unto me?

24:049:005 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.

24:049:006 And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children
of Ammon, saith the LORD.

24:049:007 Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no
more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their
wisdom vanished?

24:049:008 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.

24:049:009 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some
gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till
they have enough.

24:049:010 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.

24:049:011 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and
let thy widows trust in me.

24:049:012 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.

24:049:013 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.

24:049:014 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.

24:049:015 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and
despised among men.

24:049:016 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.

24:049:017 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it
shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues
thereof.

24:049:018 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.

24:049:019 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?

24:049:020 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.

24:049:021 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the
noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.

24:049:022 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.

24:049:023 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.

24:049:024 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.

24:049:025 How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!

24:049:026 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.

24:049:027 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall
consume the palaces of Benhadad.

24:049:028 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.

24:049:029 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.

24:049:030 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.

24:049:031 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth
without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor
bars, which dwell alone.

24:049:032 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.

24:049:033 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.

24:049:034 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,

24:049:035 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of
Elam, the chief of their might.

24:049:036 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.

24:049:037 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:

24:049:038 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence
the king and the princes, saith the LORD.

24:049:039 But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will
bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.

24:050:001 The word that the LORD spake against Babylon and against the
land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.

24:050:002 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.

24:050:003 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.

24:050:004 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.

24:050:005 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.

24:050:006 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.

24:050:007 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.

24:050:008 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.

24:050:009 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.

24:050:010 And Chaldea shall be a spoil: all that spoil her shall be
satisfied, saith the LORD.

24:050:011 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;

24:050:012 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.

24:050:013 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.

24:050:014 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.

24:050:015 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.

24:050:016 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.

24:050:017 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.

24:050:018 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.

24:050:019 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.

24:050:020 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.

24:050:021 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.

24:050:022 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.

24:050:023 How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken!
how is Babylon become a desolation among the nations!

24:050:024 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.

24:050:025 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.

24:050:026 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.

24:050:027 Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe
unto them! for their day is come, the time of their
visitation.

24:050:028 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.

24:050:029 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.

24:050:030 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.

24:050:031 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.

24:050:032 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.

24:050:033 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.

24:050:034 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.
