Jeremiah 48:14-47

14HowH349 can you sayH559, ‘We are 1mightyH1368 warriorsH1368, And menH376 valiantH2428 for battleH4421’?15MoabH4124 has been destroyedH7703 and 2men have goneH5927 up to 3his citiesH5892; His choicestH4005 45youngH970 menH970 have also goneH3381 downH3381 to the slaughterH2874,” DeclaresH5002 the 6KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LordH3068 of hostsH6635.16“The disasterH343 of MoabH4124 will 7soonH7138 comeH935, And his calamityH7463 has swiftlyH3966 hastenedH4116.17MournH5110 for him, allH3605 you who live aroundH5439 him, Even allH3605 of you who knowH3045 his nameH8034; SayH559, ‘HowH351 has the mightyH5797 89scepterH4294 been brokenH7665, A staffH4731 of splendorH8597!’1810ComeH3381 downH3381 from your gloryH3519 And sitH3427 11on the parchedH6772 groundH6772, O 12daughterH1323 dwellingH3427 in 13DibonH1769, For the destroyerH7703 of MoabH4124 has comeH5927 up against you, He has ruinedH7843 your strongholdsH4013.19StandH5975 by the roadH1870 and keepH6822 watchH6822, O inhabitantH3427 of 14AroerH6177; 15AskH7592 him who fleesH5127 and her who escapesH4422 And sayH559, ‘WhatH4100 has happenedH1961?’20MoabH4124 has beenH954 putH954 to shameH954, for it has beenH2865 16shatteredH2865. WailH3213 and cryH2199 out; DeclareH5046 by the 17ArnonH769 That MoabH4124 has been destroyedH7703.

21“JudgmentH4941 has also comeH935 upon the plainH4334, upon HolonH2473, 18JahzahH3096 and againstH5921 19MephaathH4158, 22againstH5921 DibonH1769, NeboH5015 and Beth-diblathaimH1015, 23againstH5921 KiriathaimH7156, Beth-gamulH1014 and 20Beth-meonH1010, 24againstH5921 21KeriothH7152, BozrahH1224 and allH3605 the citiesH5892 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, farH7350 and nearH7138. 25The 22hornH7161 of MoabH4124 has been cutH1438 offH1438 and his 23armH2220 brokenH7665,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 26“24MakeH7937 him drunkH7937, for he has 25becomeH1431 26arrogantH1431 towardH5921 the LordH3068; so MoabH4124 will 27wallowH5606 in his vomitH7006, and he alsoH1571 will becomeH1961 a laughingstockH7814. 27Now was not IsraelH3478 a 28laughingstockH7814 to you? OrH518 was he 2930caughtH4672 among thievesH1590? For eachH1767 timeH1767 you speakH1697 about him you 31shakeH5110 your head in scorn.28LeaveH5800 the citiesH5892 and dwellH7931 among the 32cragsH5553, O inhabitantsH3427 of MoabH4124, And be like a 33doveH3123 that nestsH7077 BeyondH5676 the mouthH6310 of the chasmH6354.2934We have heardH8085 of the prideH1347 of MoabH4124--he is veryH3966 proudH1343-- Of his haughtinessH7312, his 35prideH1347, his arroganceH1346 and 36his self-exaltationH3820H7312.30I knowH3045 his 37furyH5678,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “But it is futileH3808H3653; His idleH907 boastsH907 have accomplishedH6213 nothingH3808.31ThereforeH5921H3651 I will 38wailH3213 for MoabH4124, Even for allH3605 MoabH4124 will I cryH2199 out; 39I will moanH1897 for the menH376 of 40Kir-heresH7025.32MoreH4480 thanH4480 the 41weepingH1065 for 42JazerH3270 I will weepH1058 for you, O vineH1612 of SibmahH7643! Your tendrilsH5189 stretchedH5674 acrossH5674 the seaH3220, They reachedH5060 to the seaH3220 of JazerH3270; Upon your summerH7019 fruitsH7019 and your grapeH1210 harvestH1210 The destroyerH7703 has fallenH5307.33So 43gladnessH8057 and joyH1524 are takenH622 awayH622 From the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759, even from the landH776 of MoabH4124. And I have made the wineH3196 to 44ceaseH7673 from the wineH3342 pressesH3342; NoH3808 one will treadH1869 them with shoutingH1959, The shoutingH1959 will not be shoutsH1959 of joy. 3445From the outcryH2201 at HeshbonH2809 even to 46ElealehH500, even to JahazH3096 they have 47raisedH5414 their voiceH6963, from 48ZoarH6820 even to HoronaimH2773 and to Eglath-shelishiyahH5700H7992; for evenH1571 the watersH4325 of NimrimH5249 will becomeH1961 desolateH4923. 35I will makeH7673 an endH7673 of MoabH4124,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “the one who offersH5927 sacrifice on the 49highH1116 placeH1116 and the one who 5051burnsH6999 incenseH6999 to his godsH430.

36“ThereforeH5921H3651 My 52heartH3820 53wailsH1993 for MoabH4124 like flutesH2485; My heartH3820 also 54wailsH1993 like flutesH2485 for the menH376 of Kir-heresH7025. ThereforeH5921H3651 they have 55lostH6 the abundanceH3502 it producedH6213. 37For 56everyH3605 headH7218 is baldH7144 and everyH3605 beardH2206 cutH1639 shortH1639; there are gashesH1417 on allH3605 the handsH3027 and 57sackclothH8242 on the loinsH4975. 38On allH3605 the 58housetopsH1406 of MoabH4124 and in its streetsH7339 59thereH3605 is lamentationH4553 everywhereH3605; for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like an undesirableH369H2656 60vesselH3627,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 39“HowH349 61shatteredH2865 it is! How they have wailedH3213! HowH349 MoabH4124 has turnedH6437 his backH6203--he is ashamedH954! So MoabH4124 will becomeH1961 a laughingstockH7814 and an 62objectH4288 of terrorH4288 to allH3605 aroundH5439 him.”

40For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068: “BeholdH2009, one will 63flyH1675 swiftlyH1675 like an eagleH5404 And 64spreadH6566 out his wingsH3671 againstH413 MoabH4124.41KeriothH7152 has been capturedH3920 And the strongholdsH4679 have been seizedH8610, So the 65heartsH3820 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 of MoabH4124 in that dayH3117 Will be like the heartH3820 of a 66womanH802 in laborH6887.42MoabH4124 will be 67destroyedH8045 from being a peopleH5971 BecauseH3588 he has 68becomeH1431 69arrogantH1431 towardH5921 the LordH3068.4370TerrorH6343, pitH6354 and snareH6341 are coming upon you, O inhabitantH3427 of MoabH4124,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.44“The one who 71fleesH5127 from the terrorH6343 Will fallH5307 into the pitH6354, And the one who climbsH5927 up out of the pitH6354 Will be caughtH3920 in the snareH6341; For I shall bringH935 upon her, even upon MoabH4124, The yearH8141 of their 72punishmentH6486,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

45“In the shadowH6738 of HeshbonH2809 The fugitivesH5127 standH5975 withoutH4480 strengthH3581; For a fireH784 has goneH3318 forthH3318 from HeshbonH2809 And a 73flameH3852 from the midstH996 of 74SihonH5511, And it has devouredH398 the 75foreheadH6285 of MoabH4124 And the scalpsH6936 of the 76riotousH7588 revelersH1121H7588.4677WoeH188 to you, MoabH4124! The peopleH5971 of 78ChemoshH3645 have perishedH6; For your sonsH1121 have been takenH3947 away captiveH7628 And your daughtersH1323 into captivityH7633.47Yet I will 79restoreH7725 the 80fortunesH7622 of MoabH4124 In the 81latterH319 daysH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

ThusH2008 farH5704 the judgmentH4941 on MoabH4124.
