Jeremiah 47-52
The last six chapters of Jeremiah speak to the fate of other nations as it looks forward to Israel's return from exile... the Philistines will be destroyed... the Moabites and Ammonites will be destroyed, but their fortunes restored in the future... Edom will be destroyed with no future... Damascus, destroyed... Kedar and Hazor will be desolate forever... Elam will be completely destroyed, then restored... Babylon will be overrun by the Medes and Persians.
Why are all these peoples to be destroyed? Because the whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge! They build idols with no power, and fail to give the creator of everything the glory and praise he deserves. Why do they wonder that God brings destruction on them, if they don't even believe in him? God will show mercy to whom he chooses.
