Jeremiah 48:31-45
31ThereforeH5921H3651 I will 1wailH3213 for MoabH4124, Even for allH3605 MoabH4124 will I cryH2199 out; 2I will moanH1897 for the menH376 of 3Kir-heresH7025.32MoreH4480 thanH4480 the 4weepingH1065 for 5JazerH3270 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 6gladnessH8057 and joyH1524 are takenH622 awayH622 From the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759, even from the landH776 of MoabH4124. And I have made the wineH3196 to 7ceaseH7673 from the wineH3342 pressesH3342; NoH3808 one will treadH1869 them with shoutingH1959, The shoutingH1959 will not be shoutsH1959 of joy. 348From the outcryH2201 at HeshbonH2809 even to 9ElealehH500, even to JahazH3096 they have 10raisedH5414 their voiceH6963, from 11ZoarH6820 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 12highH1116 placeH1116 and the one who 1314burnsH6999 incenseH6999 to his godsH430.
36“ThereforeH5921H3651 My 15heartH3820 16wailsH1993 for MoabH4124 like flutesH2485; My heartH3820 also 17wailsH1993 like flutesH2485 for the menH376 of Kir-heresH7025. ThereforeH5921H3651 they have 18lostH6 the abundanceH3502 it producedH6213. 37For 19everyH3605 headH7218 is baldH7144 and everyH3605 beardH2206 cutH1639 shortH1639; there are gashesH1417 on allH3605 the handsH3027 and 20sackclothH8242 on the loinsH4975. 38On allH3605 the 21housetopsH1406 of MoabH4124 and in its streetsH7339 22thereH3605 is lamentationH4553 everywhereH3605; for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like an undesirableH369H2656 23vesselH3627,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 39“HowH349 24shatteredH2865 it is! How they have wailedH3213! HowH349 MoabH4124 has turnedH6437 his backH6203--he is ashamedH954! So MoabH4124 will becomeH1961 a laughingstockH7814 and an 25objectH4288 of terrorH4288 to allH3605 aroundH5439 him.”
40For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068: “BeholdH2009, one will 26flyH1675 swiftlyH1675 like an eagleH5404 And 27spreadH6566 out his wingsH3671 againstH413 MoabH4124.41KeriothH7152 has been capturedH3920 And the strongholdsH4679 have been seizedH8610, So the 28heartsH3820 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 of MoabH4124 in that dayH3117 Will be like the heartH3820 of a 29womanH802 in laborH6887.42MoabH4124 will be 30destroyedH8045 from being a peopleH5971 BecauseH3588 he has 31becomeH1431 32arrogantH1431 towardH5921 the LordH3068.4333TerrorH6343, pitH6354 and snareH6341 are coming upon you, O inhabitantH3427 of MoabH4124,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.44“The one who 34fleesH5127 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 35punishmentH6486,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.
45“In the shadowH6738 of HeshbonH2809 The fugitivesH5127 standH5975 withoutH4480 strengthH3581; For a fireH784 has goneH3318 forthH3318 from HeshbonH2809 And a 36flameH3852 from the midstH996 of 37SihonH5511, And it has devouredH398 the 38foreheadH6285 of MoabH4124 And the scalpsH6936 of the 39riotousH7588 revelersH1121H7588.
