Jeremiah 48:31-45
31ThereforeH3651 will I wailH3213 for MoabH4124; yea, I will cryH2199 out for all MoabH4124: for the menH376 of Kir-heres shall they mourn. 32With more than the weepingH1065 of JazerH3270 will I weepH1058 for thee, O vineH1612 of SibmahH7643: thy branches passedH5674 over the seaH3220, they reachedH5060 even to the seaH3220 of JazerH3270: upon thy summerH7019 fruits and upon thy vintage the destroyerH7703 is fallenH5307. 33And gladnessH8057 and joyH8057 is taken away from the fruitful field and from the landH776 of MoabH4124; and I have caused wineH3196 to ceaseH7673 from the winepressesH3342: none shall treadH1869 with shoutingH1959; the shoutingH1959 shall be no shoutingH1959. 34From the cryH2201 of HeshbonH2809 even unto ElealehH500, even unto JahazH3096 have they uttered their voiceH6963, from ZoarH6820 even unto HoronaimH2773, to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the watersH4325 of NimrimH5249 alsoH1571 shall becomeH1961 desolate. 35Moreover I will cause to ceaseH7673 in MoabH4124, saith Jehovah, him that offereth in the highH1116 placeH1116, and him that burneth incenseH6999 to his godsH430.
36ThereforeH3651 my heartH3820 soundeth for MoabH4124 like pipes, and my heartH3820 soundeth like pipes for the menH376 of Kir-heres: thereforeH3651 the abundance that he hath gotten is perishedH6. 37For every headH7218 is bald, and every beardH2206 clipped: upon all the handsH3027 are cuttings, and upon the loinsH4975 sackclothH8242. 38On all the housetops of MoabH4124 and in the streets thereof there is lamentation every where; for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like a vesselH3627 wherein none delighteth, saith Jehovah. 39HowH349 is it broken down! howH349 do they wailH3213! howH349 hath MoabH4124 turnedH6437 the backH6437 with shameH954! so shall MoabH4124 becomeH1961 a derision and a terrorH4288 to all that areH1961 roundH5439 about him. 40For thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagleH5404, and shall spreadH6566 out his wingsH3671 against MoabH4124. 41KeriothH7152 is takenH3920, and the strongholdsH4679 are seizedH8610, and the heartH3820 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 of MoabH4124 at that dayH3117 shall beH1961 as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangs. 42And MoabH4124 shall be destroyedH8045 from being a peopleH5971, because he hath magnifiedH1431 himself against Jehovah. 43FearH6343, and the pitH6354, and the snareH6341, are upon thee, O inhabitantH3427 of MoabH4124, saith Jehovah. 44He that fleeth from the fearH6343 shall fallH5307 into the pitH6354; and he that getteth up out of the pitH6354 shall be takenH3920 in the snareH6341: for I will bringH935 upon him, even upon MoabH4124, the yearH8141 of their visitation, saith Jehovah.
45They that fledH5127 standH5975 without strengthH3581 under the shadowH6738 of HeshbonH2809; for a fireH784 is goneH3318 forthH3318 out of HeshbonH2809, and a flameH3852 from the midst of SihonH5511, and hath devouredH398 the cornerH6285 of MoabH4124, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
