Jeremiah 49 - 50

God pronounces judgment on the nation of Ammon.  Israel, His chosen nation, will inherit the land the Ammonites occupy.  The nation of Edom would be left desolate as well; all punishment for their failures to acknowledge and worship God alone.  Damascus, the capital of Syria, would not escape from God's punishment.  Kedar, Hazor, Elam and Babylon would all feel the strength of God's wrath.  Their years of opposition to His commands would be remembered and their punishment would be well merited.  The nations that pursued greatness and world dominance would not retain their prominence.  God's sovereignty and righteous rule would supersede even the greatest work of man.
