Jeremiah 49:13-18

Jeremiah 49:13-18

[13] For I have sworn  by myself, saith  the LORD,  that Bozrah  shall become a desolation,  a reproach,  a waste,  and a curse;  and all the cities  thereof shall be perpetual  wastes.  [14] I have heard  a rumour  from the LORD,  and an ambassador  is sent  unto the heathen,  saying, Gather ye together,  and come  against her, and rise up  to the battle.  [15] For, lo, I will make  thee small  among the heathen,  and despised  among men.  [16] Thy terribleness  hath deceived  thee, and the pride  of thine heart,  O thou that dwellest  in the clefts  of the rock,  that holdest  the height  of the hill:  though thou shouldest make thy nest  as high  as the eagle,  I will bring thee down  from thence, saith  the LORD.  [17] Also Edom  shall be a desolation:  every one that goeth  by it shall be astonished,  and shall hiss  at all the plagues  [18] As in the overthrow  of Sodom  and Gomorrah  and the neighbour  cities thereof, saith  the LORD,  no man  shall abide  there, neither shall a son  of man  dwell  in it.
