1Concerning the Ammonites: Thus says Yahweh,[#Literally “sons of Ammon”]
“Are there no sons for Israel?
Why has Milcom taken possession of Gad,
2Therefore look, days are coming,” declares Yahweh,[#Literally “To thus”; #Literally “a declaration of”]
“and I will sound against Rabbah, the Ammonites,
and it will become as a mound of desolation,
Then Israel will dispossess his dispossessors,” says Yahweh.
3“Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is devastated.
For Milcom will go into exile,
4Why do you boast in your valleys?
O unfaithful daughter, who trusted in her treasures,
5Look, I am going to bring dread on you,”
declares Lord Yahweh of hosts,
And you will be scattered,
and there is no one who gathers the fugitives.
6Yet afterward I will restore[#Literally “after thus”]
7Concerning Edom, thus says Yahweh of hosts:
“Is there no longer wisdom in Teman?
8Flee! Turn back! Get down low![#Literally “make deep to dwell”]
For I will bring upon him the disaster of Esau
9If grape-gatherers come to you,
If thieves in the night,
10But I have stripped Esau bare.
His offspring are devastated, along with his brothers,
11Leave your orphans. I will let them live.[#Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation]
12For thus says Yahweh, “Look, those who are not condemned to drink the cup must certainly drink it. And are you the one who will go entirely unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for you must certainly drink it.[#Literally “who there is not their justice”; #Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation; #Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation]

14I have heard a message from Yahweh,
“Gather and come against her,
15“For look, I will make you small among the nations,
16Your terror has deceived you,
O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock,
Though you make your nest high like the eagle,
17“And Edom will become as a horror,
18As the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah
“no one will live there,
19Look, like a lion he comes up from the thickets of the Jordan
So I will chase him away hurriedly from it.
For who is like me, and who can summon me?
20Therefore hear the plan of Yahweh that he has planned against Edom,[#Literally “To thus”]
Surely they will drag them away,
Surely he will cause to be desolated over them
21The earth will quake from the sound of their falling.
22Look, like an eagle he will go up and he will swoop down,
And the heart of the warriors of Edom will be in that day
23Concerning Damascus:
“Hamath and Arpad are ashamed,
There is concern in the sea.
24Damascus has grown slack.
Anxiety has seized her,
25How the city of praise has not been abandoned!
26Therefore her young men will fall in her public squares,[#Literally “To thus”]
27“And I will kindle a fire at the wall of Damascus,
28Concerning Kedar and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon defeated. Thus says Yahweh:
“Rise up, go up against Kedar
29They will take their tents, and their flocks,
and their camels they will carry away for themselves,
30Flee! Wander far away! Get down low![#Literally “Make deep to dwell”]
“For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has planned a plan against you.
31Rise up, go up against a nation which is at ease,
“There are no gates and there are no bars for them,
32And their camels will become as plunder,
And I will scatter to every wind those who are trimmed to the side,
33“And Hazor will become as a lair of jackals,
no one will live there,
34The word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, saying,[#Literally “to say”]
35“Thus says Yahweh of hosts:
‘Look, I am going to break the bow of Elam,
36And I will bring to Elam four winds,
and I will scatter them to all these winds,
37So I will shatter Elam before their enemies,[#Literally “to the face of”]
And I will bring disaster upon them,
‘And I will send after them the sword
38And I will set my throne in Elam
39‘And then in the last of the days[#Literally “And it will happen”]
