Jeremiah 48:1-5

1The Lord Almighty, Israel's God, spoke this message about Moab: ‘Nebo city is in terrible trouble! It will soon become a heap of stones. The people of Kiriathaim city will be ashamed. Its enemies will take it for themselves. They will knock down its strong buildings, and its people will be ashamed.

2People will no longer praise Moab. In Heshbon, Moab's enemies will decide how to destroy the nation. They will say, “We must completely destroy Moab!” The town of Madmen will become silent, as a great army chases out the people.

3The people of Horonaim will shout for help, because a strong army is destroying them.

4Moab will come to an end! Its children will cry loudly.

5They will go up the hill to Luhith. They will weep as they go. As they go down the road towards Horonaim, they will cry about their town that the enemy is destroying.
