1Concerning the ‘Amon [Inbred], thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Has Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] no sons? has he no heir? why [then] does their king inherit Gad [Good Fortune with Troublesome Effort], and his people dwell in his cities?

2Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah [Great] of the ‘Amon [Inbred]; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] be heir unto them that were his heirs, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

3Howl, O Heshbon [Stronghold], for ‘Ai [Heap of Ruins] is spoiled: cry, you^2f daughters of Rabbah [Great], 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.

4For what reason glory youⁱ in the valleys, yourⁱ flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, [saying], Who shall come unto me?

5Behold, I will bring a fear upon youⁱ, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], from all those that be about youⁱ; and you^2f shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wanders.

6And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of ‘Amon [Inbred], says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

7Concerning Edom [Red], thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]; [Is] wisdom no more in Teman [south]? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?

8Flee you^2f, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of D’dan [low country]; for I will bring the calamity of ‘Esav [Hairy] upon him, the time [that] I will visit him.

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

10But I have made ‘Esav [Hairy] bore, 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 yourⁱ fatherless children, I will preserve [them] alive; and let yourⁱ widows trust in me.

12For thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Behold, they whose judgment [was] not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and [are] youⁱ he [that] shall altogether go unpunished? youⁱ shall not go unpunished, but youⁱ shall surely drink [of it]. 13For I have sworn by myself, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that Botzrah [sheepfold or fortress] shall become a desolation, a reproach (disgrace; shame), a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.

14I have heard a rumour from the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, [saying], Gather you^2f together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.

15For, lo, I will make youⁱ small among the heathen, [and] despised among men.

16You1s terribleness has deceived youⁱ, [and] the pride of yourⁱ heart, O youⁱ that dwell in the clefts of the rock, that holds the height of the hill: though youⁱ should make yourⁱ nest as high as the eagle, I will bring youⁱ down from there, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

17Also Edom [Red] shall be a desolation: everyone that goes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof. 18As in the overthrow of S’dom [Burning] and ‘Amora [Submersion] and the neighbour [cities] thereof, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), 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 Yarden [Descender] 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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that he has taken against Edom [Red]; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman [south]: 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 Botzrah [sheepfold or fortress]: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom [Red] be as the heart of a woman in her (birth) pangs (extreme sharp pains).

23Concerning Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver]. Hamat [Fortress] is confounded, and Arpad [I shall be spread out (or supported)]: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; [there is] sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.

24Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver] is waxed feeble, [and] turns herself to flee, and fear has 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, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

27And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Dammesek (Damascus) [silent is the sackcloth weaver], and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad [son of the (false god) Hadad].

28Concerning Kedar [dark], and concerning the kingdoms of Hatzor [Castle], which N’vukhadretzar [may Nebo protect the crown] king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] shall strike, thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Arise you^2f, go up to Kedar [dark], and spoil (plunder; prey; booty) 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 you^2f inhabitants of Hatzor [Castle], says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); for N’vukhadretzar [may Nebo protect the crown] king of Bavel (to jumble, or a confused medley of sounds; confusion; gate of the deity) (Babylon) [confusion] has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.

31Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwells without care, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), which have neither gates nor bars, [which] dwell alone.

32And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil (plunder; prey; booty): and I will scatter into all winds them [that are] in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

33And Hatzor [Castle] shall be a dwelling for dragons, [and] a desolation forever: there shall no man abide there, nor [any] Son of man dwell in it.

34The word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that came to Yirmeyahu [whom Yehovah has appointed] the prophet against ‘Eilam [eternity] in the beginning of the reign of Tzidkiyah [Yehovah is righteous] king of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], saying,

35Thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies]; Behold, I will break the bow of ‘Eilam [eternity], the chief of their might.

36And upon ‘Eilam [eternity] 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 to which the outcasts of ‘Eilam [eternity] shall not come.

37For I will cause ‘Eilam [eternity] to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, [even] my fierce anger, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:

38And I will set my throne in ‘Eilam [eternity], and will destroy from there the king and the princes, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

39But it shall come to pass in the latter days, [that] I will bring again the captivity of ‘Eilam [eternity], says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
