Jeremiah 48:1-23

1Of MoabH4124. ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: WoeH1945 unto NeboH5015! for it is laid waste; KiriathaimH7156 is put to shame, it is takenH3920; Misgab is put to shame and broken down. 2The praiseH8416 of MoabH4124 is no more; in HeshbonH2809 they have devised evilH7451 against her: Come, and let us cutH3772 her off from being a nationH1471. Thou alsoH1571, O Madmen, shalt be brought to silence; the swordH2719 shall pursue thee. 3The soundH6963 of a cryH6818 from HoronaimH2773, desolation and greatH1419 destructionH7667! 4MoabH4124 is destroyed; her little onesH6810 have caused a cryH2201 to be heardH8085. 5For by the ascentH4608 of LuhithH3872 with continual weepingH1065 shall they goH5927 up; for at the descentH4174 of HoronaimH2773 they have heardH8085 the distressH6862 of the cryH6818 of destructionH7667. 6FleeH5127, saveH4422 your livesH5315, and beH1961 like the heath in the wildernessH4057. 7For, because thou hast trustedH982 in thy worksH4639 and in thy treasuresH214, thou alsoH1571 shalt be takenH3920: and ChemoshH3645 shall goH3318 forthH3318 into captivity, his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162. 8And the destroyerH7703 shall comeH935 upon every cityH5892, and no cityH5892 shall escapeH4422; the valleyH6010 also shall perishH6, and the plainH4334 shall be destroyedH8045; as Jehovah hath spoken. 9GiveH5414 wings unto MoabH4124, that she may fly and get her away: and her citiesH5892 shall becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, without any to dwellH3427 therein. 10CursedH779 be he that doeth the workH4399 of Jehovah negligently; and cursedH779 be he that keepeth back his swordH2719 from bloodH1818.

11MoabH4124 hath been at easeH7599 from his youthH5271, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vesselH3627 to vesselH3627, neither hath he goneH1980 into captivity: thereforeH3651 his tasteH2940 remaineth in him, and his scent is not changed. 12ThereforeH3651, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith Jehovah, that I will sendH7971 unto him them that pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vesselsH3627, and break their bottles in pieces. 13And MoabH4124 shall be ashamedH954 of ChemoshH3645, as the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was ashamedH954 of Beth-el their confidenceH4009. 14HowH349 sayH559 ye, We are mightyH1368 menH376, and valiant menH376 for the warH4421? 15MoabH4124 is laid waste, and they are goneH5927 up into his citiesH5892, and his chosen youngH970 menH970 are goneH5927 downH3381 to the slaughterH2874, saith the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is Jehovah of hostsH6635. 16The calamityH343 of MoabH4124 is near to comeH935, and his affliction hasteth fast. 17All ye that are roundH5439 about him, bemoan him, and all ye that knowH3045 his nameH8034; sayH559, HowH349 is the strong staffH4294 brokenH7665, the beautiful rodH4294! 18O thou daughterH1323 that dwellest in DibonH1769, comeH5927 down from thy gloryH3519, and sitH3427 in thirstH6772; for the destroyerH7703 of MoabH4124 is comeH5927 up against thee, he hath destroyedH7843 thy strongholdsH4013. 19O inhabitantH3427 of AroerH6177, standH5975 by the wayH1870, and watchH6822: askH7592 him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; sayH559, What hath beenH1961 done? 20MoabH4124 is put to shame; for it is broken down: wailH3213 and cryH2199; tellH5046 ye it by the ArnonH769, that MoabH4124 is laid waste. 21And judgmentH4941 is comeH935 upon the plainH4334 country, upon HolonH2473, and upon Jahzah, and upon MephaathH4158, 22and upon DibonH1769, and upon NeboH5015, and upon Beth-diblathaim, 23and upon KiriathaimH7156, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,
