Jeremiah 48:26-35
26“Make him drunkH7937, becauseH3588 he has magnified himselfH1431 againstH5921 the LORDH3068; so MoabH4124 will wallowH5606 in his own vomitH6892, and heH1931 will alsoH1571 becomeH1961 a laughingstockH7814.27WasH1961 notH3808 IsraelH3478 your object of ridiculeH7814? Was he ever foundH4672 among thieves? ForH3588 wheneverH1767 you speak of himH1697 you shake your headH5110.
28AbandonH5800 the townsH5892 and settleH7931 among the rocksH5553,O dwellersH3427 of MoabH4124!BeH1961 like a doveH3123that nestsH7077 atH5676 the mouthH6310 of a caveH6354.29We have heardH8085 of Moab’sH4124 pomposityH1347,his exceedingH3966 prideH1343 and conceitH1363,his proudH1347 arroganceH1346 and haughtinessH7312 of heartH3820.30IH589 knowH3045 his insolenceH5678,”declaresH5002 the LORDH3068,“but it is futileH3808H3651.His boastingH907 is as emptyH3808 asH3651 his deedsH6213.
31ThereforeH5921H3651 I will wailH3213 forH5921 MoabH4124;I will cry outH2199 for allH3605 of MoabH4124;I will moanH1897 forH413 the menH582 of Kir-heresH7025.132I will weepH1058 for you, O vineH1612 of SibmahH7643,more than I weepH1065 for JazerH3270.Your tendrilsH5189 have extendedH5674 to the seaH3220;2they reachH5060 even toH5704 JazerH3270.3The destroyerH7703 has descendedH5307onH5921 your summer fruitH7019H5921 and grape harvestH1210.33JoyH8057 and gladnessH1524 are removedH622 from the orchardH3759and from the fieldsH776 of MoabH4124.I have stoppedH7673 the flow of wineH3196 from the pressesH3342;no oneH3808 treads themH1869 with shouts of joyH1959;their shoutsH1959 are notH3808 for joyH1959.
