III. PROPHECIES AGAINST THE NATIONS, Jeremiah 46-51
Syria and Elam, Jer_49:23-39
JUDGMENT ON DAMASCUS
Concerning Damascus [in Syria]. “Hamath and Arpad are perplexed and shamed, For they have heard bad news; They are disheartened; Troubled and anxious like a [storm-tossed] sea Which cannot be calmed.
“Damascus has become helpless; She has turned away to flee, Terror (panic) has seized her; Anguish and distress have gripped her Like a woman in childbirth.
“Why has the renowned city not been deserted, The city of My joy!
“Therefore, her young men will fall in her streets, And all her men of war will be destroyed in that day,” says the LORD of hosts. [Isa_17:1-3; Amo_1:3-5; Zec_9:1]
“I will set fire to the wall of Damascus, And it will consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.”
JUDGMENT ON KEDAR AND HAZOR
Concerning Kedar and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated. Thus says the LORD, “Arise, go up against Kedar And destroy the men of the east.
“They (the Babylonians) will take away their tents and their flocks; They will carry off for themselves Their tent curtains, all their goods and their camels, And they will call out to one another, ‘Terror on every side!’ [Psa_31:13; Jer_6:25; Jer_20:3, Jer_20:10; Jer_46:5]
“Flee, run far away! Dwell in the depths [of the desert], O inhabitants of Hazor,” says the LORD, “For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has planned a course of action against you And devised a scheme against you.
“Arise [Nebuchadnezzar], go up against a nation which is at ease, Which lives securely,” says the LORD, “A nation which has neither gates nor bars; They dwell apart and alone.
“Their camels will become plunder, And their herds of cattle a spoil; And I will scatter to all the [four] winds those who cut the corners of their hair [as evidence of their idolatry], And I will bring their disaster from every side,” says the LORD. [Lev_19:27]
“Hazor will become a haunt and dwelling place of jackals, A desolation forever; No one will live there, Nor will a son of man reside in it.”
JUDGMENT ON ELAM
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:
“Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘Behold (listen carefully), I am going to break the bow of Elam, The finest [weapon] of their strength.
‘And I will bring upon Elam the four winds From the four corners of heaven; And I will scatter them toward all those winds, And there will be no nation To which the outcasts of Elam will not go.
‘So I will cause Elam to be shattered (dismayed) before their enemies And before those who seek their lives; And I will bring disaster on them, Even My fierce anger,’ says the LORD. ‘And I will send the sword after them Until I have consumed them.
‘Then I will set My throne [of judgment] in Elam And I will destroy from there the king and princes,’ Says the LORD. [Neh_1:1; Est_1:2; Dan_8:1-2]
‘But it will be in the last days (the end of days) That I will reverse the captivity and restore the fortunes of Elam,'” Says the LORD.
