Chapter 49
Jeremiah Chapter 49 Exposes the Well-off or Wealthy and Their Vulnerability
You Can Be Rich And Famous But Neither Can Save You In The End Unless You Do And Fulfill G-d’s Commandment
Tehillim (Psalm) 139:8 expressed it even clearer.
All will be taken into account, and no one is exempt from your deeds be it good or bad.
But note, that your intention for each of your action matters most.
Show-off is a sure failure to find favor in G-d’s eyes.
1 Concerning the children of Ammon. So said the Lord: Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why has Malcam taken possession of Gad, and his people have settled his cities?
2 Therefore, behold days are coming, says the Lord, and I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and it shall become a desolate mound, and its villages shall be burnt with fire, and Israel shall possess those who have possessed their possessions, says the Lord.
3 Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai has been spoiled, cry out, O villages of Rabbah, gird yourselves with sackcloth, lament and mobilize in companies, for Malcam shall go into exile, his priests and his princes together.
4 Why do you boast about the valleys? Your valley is flowing, O backsliding daughter, who depends on her treasures, saying, “Who shall come to me?”
5 Behold I bring fright upon you, says the Lord God of Hosts, from all those around you, and you shall be driven, each man forward, and no one shall take in the wanderer.
6 And afterwards, I will return the captivity of the children of Ammon, says the Lord.
7 Concerning Edom, So said the Lord of Hosts: Is there no more wisdom in the south? Counsel is lost from the sons, their wisdom has spoiled.
8 Flee! Clear out! Dwell deep, O dwellers of Dedan, for the misfortune of Esau have I brought upon him, the times I have visited upon him.
9 If vintagers have come upon you, will they not leave over gleaning grapes? If thieves at night, they destroy until they have enough.
10 For I exposed Esau, I revealed his hidden places, and he could not hide; his seed, his brothers, and his neighbors were spoiled, and he is not here.
11 Leave your orphans, I will sustain them, and your widows shall trust in Me.
12 For so said the Lord: Behold, [if] those who did not deserve to drink the cup nevertheless shall drink; should you then be cleared? You shall not be cleared, but you shall surely drink.
13 For by Myself have I sworn, says the Lord, that Bozrah shall become desolation, reproach, waste, and a curse, and all her cities shall become perpetual wastelands.
14 I have heard tidings from the Lord, and an emissary is sent among the nations: Assemble and come upon her, and arise for war!
15 For, behold, I have made you small among the nations, despised among man.
16 Your hastiness has enticed you, the wickedness of your heart, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill; if you raise your nest like an eagle, from there will I bring you down, says the Lord.
17 And Edom shall become a desolation; whoever passes by her shall be astonished and shall hiss at all her plagues.
18 Like the overturning of Sodom and Gemorrah and her neighbors, said the Lord, no man shall dwell there, and no man shall sojourn there.
19 Behold, as a lion that ascends from the heights of the Jordan to a strong dwelling place, for I will bring the moment when I will hasten him away from her, and he who is chosen I will appoint to her, for who is like Me and who will appoint Me a time, and who is a shepherd who will stand before Me?
20 Therefore, hearken to the counsel of the Lord, which He advised concerning Edom, and His plans that He planned concerning the dwellers of the south, if the young of the flock will not drag them, if He will not make desolate their dwellings with them.
21 From the sound of their fall, the earth quaked; a cry whose sound was heard in the Red Sea.
22 Behold like an eagle he shall ascend and soar, and he shall spread his wings over Bozrah, and the heart of the mighty men of Edom on that day shall be like the heart of a travailing woman.
23 Concerning Damascus, Hamath and Arpad are shamed for they have heard bad news, they melted; there is worry in the sea, it cannot be quiet.
24 Damascus has become feeble, she has turned to flee, and trembling has seized her: distress and pangs seized her like a woman in confinement.
25 “How was the city of praise not fortified, the city of my joy?”
26 Therefore, her youths shall fall in her broad places, and all her warriors shall be destroyed on that day, says the Lord of Hosts.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of the Ben-hadad.
28 Concerning Kedar and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon smote. So said the Lord: Go up to Kedar and spoil the children of the east.
29 Their tents and their flocks they shall take, their curtains and all their utensils and their camels they shall take for themselves, and they shall call upon them a terror on every side.
30 Flee, wander far off, dwell deep, inhabitants of Kedar, says the Lord, for Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon has taken counsel against you and has devised a plot against you.
31 “Rise and go up to a peaceful nation, dwelling confidently,” says the Lord; he has neither doors nor bars, they dwell alone.
32 And their camels shall be for a prey and the multitude of their cattle for spoil, and I will scatter them in all directions, cast to the ends, and from all its sides I will bring their misfortune, says the Lord.
33 And Hazor shall become a habitat of jackals, desolate to eternity; neither shall any man dwell there nor shall any man sojourn therein.
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, saying:
35 So said the Lord of Hosts: Behold I am breaking the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36 And I will bring against Elam four winds from the four ends of the heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds, and there shall be no nation where the exiles of Elam shall not come.
37 And I will break Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their lives, and I will bring upon them evil-the kindling of My wrath, says the Lord, and I will send the sword after them until I completely destroy them.
38 And I will place My throne in Elam and I will destroy from there a king and princes, says the Lord.
39 And it shall be at the end of days, [that] I will return the captivity of Elam, says the Lord.
1 Concerning the children of Ammon. So said the Lord: Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why has Malcam taken possession of Gad, and his people have settled his cities?
2 Therefore, behold days are coming, says the Lord, and I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and it shall become a desolate mound, and its villages shall be burnt with fire, and Israel shall possess those who have possessed their possessions, says the Lord.

29 Their tents and their flocks they shall take, their curtains and all their utensils and their camels they shall take for themselves, and they shall call upon them a terror on every side.
30 Flee, wander far off, dwell deep, inhabitants of Kedar, says the Lord, for Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon has taken counsel against you and has devised a plot against you.
31 “Rise and go up to a peaceful nation, dwelling confidently,” says the Lord; he has neither doors nor bars, they dwell alone.
32 And their camels shall be for a prey and the multitude of their cattle for spoil, and I will scatter them in all directions, cast to the ends, and from all its sides I will bring their misfortune, says the Lord.

37 And I will break Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their lives, and I will bring upon them evil-the kindling of My wrath, says the Lord, and I will send the sword after them until I completely destroy them.
38 And I will place My throne in Elam and I will destroy from there a king and princes, says the Lord.
39 And it shall be at the end of days, [that] I will return the captivity of Elam, says the Lord.
