1Yo, what’s good with the Ammonites? The Lord’s like, "Does Israel not have any sons? No heirs? So why’s their king reppin’ Gad and chillin’ in their cities?"

2For real, the days are coming, says the Lord, where I’ll drop a war alarm in Rabbah of the Ammonites; it’s gonna be a total wreck, and her daughters are gonna get burned up: then Israel will claim what’s rightfully theirs, says the Lord.

3Cry out, Heshbon, ‘cause Ai’s done for: shout, daughters of Rabbah, put on your sackcloth; mourn and run around like crazy; their king’s going into captivity, along with his priests and princes.

4Why you flexing in the valleys, flowing with vibes, O backsliding daughter? You trusted in your treasures, saying, "Who’s gonna come for me?"

5Check it, I’m bringing fear on you, says the Lord God of hosts, from everyone around you; you’ll be driven out, no cap, and no one’s gonna gather up those who wander.

6And later, I’ll bring back the captives of the children of Ammon, says the Lord.

7About Edom, the Lord of hosts says; Is there no wisdom left in Teman? Did the wise just bounce? Is their smarts gone?

8Dip out, turn back, go deep, O people of Dedan; I’m bringing Esau’s drama on him, the time I’ll check in on him.

9If grape pickers come to you, wouldn’t they leave some grapes behind? If thieves come at night, they’ll just take what they need.

10But I’ve laid Esau bare, exposed his secret spots, and he can’t hide: his crew is done for, and his fam and neighbors are out too.

11Leave the orphans, I got them covered; let the widows vibe with me, no cap.

12The Lord's like, "Yo, those who thought they were safe are about to sip from the cup of judgment; ain't nobody getting away scot-free."

13I swear on myself, says the Lord, Bozrah's gonna be a ghost town, mad trash, and a whole curse; all its cities will be straight up wastelands.

14Heard a rumor from the Lord, and an envoy's going to the nations, saying, "Gather up, let's roll out and fight."

15I'm about to make you small among the nations, and people are gonna look at you like, "Sus."

16Your fear is playing you, and your pride's got you twisted, chilling in the rock's crevices; no matter how high you fly like an eagle, I'm bringing you down, says the Lord.

17Edom's gonna be a wreck: everyone passing by will be shook and hiss at all its disasters.

18Just like Sodom and Gomorrah got wrecked, says the Lord, no one's gonna stick around there, not even a single dude.

19Check it, he's coming up like a lion from the Jordan, ready to pounce on the stronghold; but I'm making him dip real quick: who’s my chosen one to take charge? Who can even compare to me? Who's got the schedule? And who’s the shepherd that can stand before me?

20So listen to the Lord's game plan against Edom and his goals for Teman's peeps: even the smallest sheep will lead them out; he's about to turn their homes into desolation with them.

21The earth shakes when they drop, and the Red Sea hears their drama, no cap.

22Yo, he’s gonna swoop in like an eagle, spreading wings over Bozrah, and the tough guys of Edom gonna be shook like a woman in labor, fr.

23About Damascus: Hamath’s totally lost, and Arpad’s feeling sus; they heard some bad news and now they’re all anxious, vibes are off, for real.

24Damascus is weak, trying to bounce, fear got her like she’s in major pain, just like a woman in labor, periodt.

25How is the city of good vibes not standing strong, the place that brings me joy!

26So, her young bloods gonna fall in the streets, and all the warriors gonna be taken out that day, says the Lord of hosts, lit.

27I’m about to light a fire in Damascus’s walls, and it’s gonna burn down Ben-hadad’s fancy spots.

28About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar from Babylon gonna wreck, says the Lord; get up, roll out to Kedar, and snatch those east side dudes.

29They gonna take their tents, flocks, curtains, and all their stuff, and they gonna shout that fear’s everywhere, no cap.

30Dip out, go far, chill deep, Hazor folks, says the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar from Babylon is plotting against you, and he’s got a plan, fr.

31Yo, rise up and vibe with that chill nation, no worries, says the Lord, they got no gates or bars, just living solo.

32Their camels gonna be straight fire, and all that cattle’s up for grabs: I’m scattering the crew from every corner, bringing chaos from all sides, says the Lord.

33Hazor’s gonna be a hangout for dragons, total ghost town forever: no one’s sticking around, no cap.

34The word from the Lord hit up Jeremiah about Elam when Zedekiah was king of Judah, saying,

35Check it, says the Lord of hosts; I’m breaking Elam’s bow, the top dog of their strength.

36I’m sending the four winds on Elam from all directions, scattering them like confetti; no nation will be safe from the outcasts of Elam.

37I’m making Elam shook in front of their enemies, those hunting them down: I’m bringing the heat, my fierce anger, says the Lord; I’ll send the sword after them till they’re done for.

38I’m setting my throne in Elam, and I’ll take out their king and princes, says the Lord.

39But in the future, I’ll bring Elam back from the brink, says the Lord.

1Concerning 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?

2Therefore, 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.

3Howl, 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.

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

5Behold, 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.

6And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the Lord.

7Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

8Flee 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.

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

10But 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.

11Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.

12For 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.

13For 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.

14I 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.

15For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.

16Thy 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.

17Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.

18As 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.

19Behold, 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?

20Therefore 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.

21The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.

22Behold, 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.

23Concerning 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.

24Damascus 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.

25How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!

26Therefore 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.

27And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben–hadad.

28Concerning 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.

29Their 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.

30Flee, 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.

31Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.

32And 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.

33And 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.

34The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

35Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

36And 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.

37For 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:

38And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord.

39But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the Lord.
