## Jeremiah 49:1-33 in Context (Verses 1–36 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/1) 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?**
 
 [2 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/2) 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.
 
 [3 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/3) 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.*
 
 [4 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/4) Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, *saying*, Who shall come unto me?*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/5) 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.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/6) And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/7) ¶ Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; *Is* wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
 
 [8 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/8) 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.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/9) If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave *some* gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/10) 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.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/11) Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve *them* alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/12) 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*.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/13) 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.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/14) 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.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/15) For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, *and* despised among men.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/16) 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.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/17) Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/18) 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.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/19) 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?*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/20) 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.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/21) The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/22) 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.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/23) ¶ 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 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/24) 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.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/25) How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
 
 [26 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/26) 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.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/27) And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/28) ¶ 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.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/29) 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.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/30) ¶ 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.*
 
 [31 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/31) Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, *which* dwell alone.*
 
 [32 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/32) 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.*
 
 [33 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/33) 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.
 
 [34 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/34) ¶ 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,
 
 [35 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/35) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/jeremiah/49/36) 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.
