Jeremiah 48

1ConcerningH413 MoabH4124. ThusH3541 saith Jehovah of hostsH6635, the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478: WoeH1945 unto NeboH5015! for it is spoiled; Kirjathaim is put to shame, it is takenH3920; Misgab is put to shame and dismayedH2865. 2Moab's praiseH8416 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 cutH3772 down; the swordH2719 shall pursue thee. 3A voiceH6963 of crying from HoronaimH2773; wasting and greatH1419 destructionH7667! 4MoabH4124 is destroyed; her little onesH6810 have caused a cryH2201 to be heardH8085. 5For by the ascentH4608 of LuhithH3872 continual weepingH1065 shall goH5927 up; for in the descentH4174 of HoronaimH2773 is heardH8085 the anguish of the cryH6818 of destructionH7667. 6FleeH5127, saveH4422 your livesH5315, and beH1961 like a shrub in the wildernessH4057. 7For because thou hast confided 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 waster shall comeH935 upon every cityH5892, that not a cityH5892 shall escapeH4422; and the valleyH6010 shall perishH6, and the plateau shall be destroyedH8045: as Jehovah hath saidH559. 9GiveH5414 wings unto MoabH4124, that she may flee and get away; and the citiesH5892 thereof shall becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, without inhabitantH3427. 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 hath settled on his lees; he hath not been emptied from vesselH3627 to vesselH3627, neither hath he goneH1980 into captivity: thereforeH3651 his tasteH2940 hath remainedH5975 in him, and his scent is not changed. 12ThereforeH3651 behold, daysH3117 comeH935, saith Jehovah, that I will sendH7971 unto him pourers that shall pour him off, and shall empty his vesselsH3627, and break in pieces his flagons. 13And MoabH4124 shall be ashamedH954 of ChemoshH3645, as the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was ashamedH954 of Bethel, their confidenceH4009. 14HowH349 do ye sayH559, We are mightyH1368, and menH376 of valour for the warH4421? 15MoabH4124 is laid waste, and his citiesH5892 are goneH5927 up [in smoke], 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 about him, bemoan him; and all ye that knowH3045 his nameH8034, sayH559, HowH349 is the strong staffH4294 brokenH7665, the beautiful rodH4294! 18ComeH5927 down from [thy] gloryH3519 and sitH3427 in the drought, O inhabitress, daughterH1323 of DibonH1769; the spoiler of MoabH4124 is comeH5927 up against thee, thy strongholdsH4013 hath he destroyedH7843. 19StandH5975 by the wayH1870, and watchH6822, inhabitress of AroerH6177; askH7592 him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; sayH559, What is done? 20MoabH4124 is put to shame; for he is broken down: howl and cryH2199; tellH5046 it in ArnonH769, that MoabH4124 is laid waste. 21And judgmentH4941 is comeH935 upon the country of the plateau; upon HolonH2473, and upon Jahzah, and upon MephaathH4158; 22and upon DibonH1769, and upon NeboH5015, and upon Beth-diblathaim; 23and upon Kirjathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon; 24and upon Kerijoth, and upon BozrahH1224, and upon all the citiesH5892 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, farH7350 and near. 25The hornH7161 of MoabH4124 is cutH1438 off, and his armH2220 is brokenH7665, saith Jehovah. 26MakeH1431 him drunken, for he magnifiedH1431 himself against Jehovah; and MoabH4124 shall wallow in his vomitH6892, and he alsoH1571 shall beH1961 in derision. 27For wasH1961 not IsraelH3478 a derision unto thee? WasH1961 he foundH4672 among thievesH1590, that as oft as thou didst speak of him, thou didst shake the head? 28LeaveH5800 the citiesH5892, and dwellH3427 in the rocksH5553, ye inhabitantsH3427 of MoabH4124, and beH1961 like the doveH3123, that maketh her nest in the sidesH5676 of the cave's mouthH6310. 29We have heardH8085 of the arrogance of MoabH4124, — [he is] veryH3966 proudH1343; — his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his prideH1346, and the haughtinessH7312 of his heartH3820. 30I knowH3045 his wrathH5678, saith Jehovah; his pratings are vain: they do not as [they say]. 31ThereforeH3651 will I howl for MoabH4124, and I will cryH2199 out for all MoabH4124: for the menH376 of Kir-heres shall there be moaning. 32O vineH1612 of SibmahH7643, I will weepH1058 for thee with more than the weepingH1065 of Jaazer: thy shoots passedH5674 over the seaH3220, they reachedH5060 to the seaH3220 of Jaazer. The spoiler is fallenH5307 upon thy summerH7019 fruits and upon thy vintage. 33And joyH8057 and gladnessH8057 is taken away from the fruitful field and from the landH776 of MoabH4124; and I have caused wineH3196 to fail from the winepressesH3342: they shall no more treadH1869 with shoutingH1959; the shoutingH1959 shall be no shoutingH1959. 34Because of the cryH2201 from HeshbonH2809, unto Elaleh, unto JahazH3096 have they uttered their voiceH6963, from ZoarH6820 unto HoronaimH2773, [unto] Eglath-shelishijah: for even the watersH4325 of NimrimH5249 shall becomeH1961 desolations. 35And I will cause to ceaseH7673 in MoabH4124, saith Jehovah, him that offereth in the highH1116 placeH1116, and him that burneth incenseH6999 to his 2godsH430. 36ThereforeH3651 my heartH3820 shall sound for MoabH4124 like pipes, and my heartH3820 shall sound like pipes for the menH376 of Kir-heres; because 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. 38It is wholly lamentation upon all the housetops of MoabH4124, and in the public places thereof; for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124, like a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656, saith Jehovah. 39They howl, HowH349 is it broken down! howH349 hath MoabH4124 turnedH6437 the backH6437 with shameH954! And MoabH4124 shall beH1961 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 forth his wingsH3671 over MoabH4124. 41Kerijoth is takenH3920, and the strongholdsH4679 are seizedH8610, and at that dayH3117 the heartH3820 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 of MoabH4124 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 shall be 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 her, upon MoabH4124, the yearH8141 of their visitation, saith Jehovah. 45They that fledH5127 stoodH5975 under the shadowH6738 of HeshbonH2809 powerless; for a fireH784 hath comeH3318 forthH3318 from HeshbonH2809, and a flameH3852 from the midst of SihonH5511, and hath consumedH398 the cornerH6285 of MoabH4124, and the crown of the head of the sonsH1121 of tumult. 46WoeH188 to thee, MoabH4124! The peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645 is undone; for thy sonsH1121 are takenH3947 awayH3947 in captivityH7633, and thy daughtersH1323 are captivesH7633. 47But I will turnH7725 the captivityH7622 of MoabH4124 at the endH319 of the daysH3117, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgement of MoabH4124.
