They will fly down on the shoulders of the Philistines on the west. Together they will plunder the children of the east. They will extend their power over Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon will obey them.

25. "Behold, the days come," says The LORD, "that I will punish all those who are circumcised only in their flesh:

26. Egypt, Judah, Edom, the children of Ammon, Moab, and all who have the corners of their hair cut off, who dwell in the wilderness; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart."

15. For The LORD, the God of Israel, says to me: "Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.

16. They will drink, and reel back and forth, and be insane, because of the sword that I will send among them."

17. Then took I the cup at The LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom the LORD had sent me:

18. Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, with its kings and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is today;

19. Pharaoh king of Egypt, with his servants, his princes, and all his people;

20. and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, all the kings of the Philistines, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

21. Edom, Moab, and the children of Ammon;

1. In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from The LORD, saying,

2. The LORD says to me: "Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck.

3. Then send them to the king of Edom, to the king of Moab, to the king of the children of Ammon, to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.

4. Give them a command to their masters, saying, 'The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says, "You shall tell your masters:

5. 'I have made the earth, the men, and the animals that are on the surface of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm. I give it to whom it seems right to me.

6. Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. I have also given the animals of the field to him to serve him.

7. All the nations will serve him, his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their bondservant.

8. "'"'It will happen that I will punish the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon,' says The LORD, 'with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

9. But as for you, don't listen to your prophets, to your diviners, to your dreams, to your soothsayers, or to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, "You shall not serve the king of Babylon;"

10. for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, so that I would drive you out, and you would perish.

11. But the nation that brings their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, that nation I will let remain in their own land,' says The LORD; 'and they will till it and dwell in it.'"'"

1. Of the children of Ammon. the LORD says:"Has Israel no sons?Has he no heir?Why then does Malcam possess Gad,and his people dwell in its cities?

2. Therefore behold, the days come,"says The LORD,"that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon;and it will become a desolate heap,and her daughters will be burned with fire:then Israel will possess those who possessed him,"says The LORD.

3. "Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste!Cry, you daughters of Rabbah!Clothe yourself in sackcloth.Lament, and run back and forth among the fences;for Malcam will go into captivity,his priests and his princes together.

4. Why do you boast in the valleys,your flowing valley, backsliding daughter?You trusted in her treasures,saying, 'Who will come to me?'

5. Behold, I will bring a terror on you,"says the Lord, the LORD of Hosts,"from all who are around you.All of you will be driven completely out,and there will be no one to gather together the fugitives.

6. "But afterward I will reverse the captivity of the children of Ammon,"says The LORD.
