21. The earth is moved at the noise of their fall; at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
22. Behold, he shall rise up and fly as the eagle and spread his wings over Bozrah; and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23. Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad, for they have heard bad news; they have melted in waters of feebleness; they cannot be reassured.

26. Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, said the Lord of the hosts.

30. Flee, get you far off, dwell in the deeps that ye may stand, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, said the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you and has conceived a purpose against you.
31. Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation that dwells without care, saith the Lord, which has neither gates nor bars, which dwells alone.
32. And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter them into all the winds, throwing them out unto the utmost corner; and from all their sides I will bring their ruin, said the Lord.
33. And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons and a desolation for ever: no man shall abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
34. The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet regarding Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35. Thus hath the Lord of the hosts said: Behold, I break the bow of Elam, the foundation of their might.
36. And upon Elam I will bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37. For I will cause Elam to fear before their enemies and before those that seek their soul; and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, said the Lord; and I will send the sword after them until I have consumed them.
38. And I will set my throne in Elam and will destroy from there the king and the princes, said the Lord.
39. But it shall come to pass in the last of the days that I will turn again the captivity of Elam, said the Lord.
