God’s Word Translation
Jeremiah 48:26-35
26“Get the people of Moab drunk; they have spoken against the Lord. They will wallow in their own vomit, and people will laugh at them.
27People of Moab, didn’t you laugh at the people of Israel? Were they caught among thieves? Whenever you talk about them you shake your heads in contempt.
28People of Moab, abandon your cities. Live among the cliffs. Be like doves that make their nests at the entrance of a cave.
29“We have heard about the arrogance of Moab’s people. They are very arrogant. They are very arrogant, conceited, and boastful.
30I know how arrogant they are,” declares the Lord, “but it isn’t right. They brag and don’t do what they say.
31That is why I will weep for Moab and cry for all of Moab. I will moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.
32I will cry for you as Jazer cries. I will cry for you, grapevines of Sibmah. Your branches ⌞once⌟ spread as far as the sea, and they reached as far as the sea of Jazer. The destroyer will destroy your ripened fruits and your grapes.
33Joy and gladness have disappeared from the orchards and fields of Moab. I will stop the wine flowing from the winepresses. No one will stomp on grapes with shouts of joy. There will be shouts, but not shouts of joy.
34“The cry will be heard from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz. It will be heard from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah. Even the streams of Nimrim will dry up.
35I will stop those in Moab who come to worship sites, those who bring offerings to their gods,” declares the Lord.
