Jeremiah 39

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ therefore, behold, I have stretched out My hand against you and will hand you over as prey and spoil to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples and will cause you to perish from the countries; I will destroy you. Then you shall know [without any doubt] that I am the LORD."

² Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because[2] Moab and Seir (Edom) say, 'Behold, the house of Judah is like all the [pagan] nations,'

³ therefore, behold, I will deprive the flank of Moab of its cities which are on its frontiers, the glory of the land, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and Kiriathaim.

⁴ I will give it, along with the children of Ammon, to the people of the East as a possession, so that the children of Ammon will not be remembered among the nations [any longer].

⁵ Thus I will execute judgment and punishment on Moab, and they will know [without any doubt] that I am the LORD."

⁶ Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because[3] Edom has acted against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended and has incurred grievous guilt by taking revenge on them,"

⁷ therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "I will also stretch out My hand against Edom and I will cut off and destroy man and beast. I will make it desolate; from Teman even to Dedan they will fall by the sword.

⁸ I will take My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel. Therefore, they will act in Edom in accordance with My anger and My wrath, and they will know and experience My vengeance," says the Lord GOD.

⁹ Thus says the Lord GOD, "Because the[4] Philistines have acted revengefully and have taken vengeance [contemptuously] with malice in their hearts to destroy with everlasting hostility and hatred,"

¹⁰ therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the[5] Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast.

¹¹ I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes and chastisements and they will know [without any doubt] that I am the LORD when I lay My vengeance on them."'"

¹² Now in the eleventh year, on the first [day] of the month [after the capture of King Jehoiachin], the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

¹³ Son of man, because[1] Tyre has said against Jerusalem, 'Aha! The gateway of the people is broken; she is open to me. I will be filled, now that she is a desolate waste,' therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and I will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea makes its waves crest. They will destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; and I will scrape her dust and debris from her and make her as bare as [the top of] a rock. Her island in the midst of the sea will become a dry place to spread nets, for I have spoken,' says the Lord GOD, 'and she will become a prey and a spoil for the nations. Also Tyre's daughters (towns, villages)[2] on the mainland will be killed by the sword, and they will know [without any doubt] that I am the LORD.'

¹⁴ For thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I will bring upon Tyre from the north[3] Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots and with horsemen and a great army.

¹⁵ He will kill your daughters on the mainland with the sword, and he shall make siege walls against you and build a siege ramp against you and raise [a roof of] large shields [as a defense] against you.

¹⁶ He will direct the [shocking] blow of his battering rams against your walls, and he will tear down your towers with his crowbars.

¹⁷ Because of the great number of his horses, their dust will cover you; your walls [O Tyre] will shake from the noise of the horsemen and the wagons and the chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city that is breached.

¹⁸ With the hoofs of his horses Nebuchadnezzar will trample all your streets; with the sword he will kill your people, and your strong pillars (obelisks) will fall to the ground.
