Jeremiah 48:1-8

1Concerning 1Moab. This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel says: “Woe to 2Nebo, for it has been destroyed; 3Kiriathaim has been put to shame, it has been captured; The high stronghold has been put to shame and 4shattered.2There is no longer praise for Moab; In 5Heshbon they have devised disaster against her: ‘Come and let’s cut her off from being a nation!’ You too, 6Madmen, will be silenced; The sword will follow you.3The sound of an outcry from 7Horonaim, ‘Devastation and great destruction!’4Moab is broken, Her little ones have sounded out a cry of distress.5For they will go up by the ascent of 8Luhith With continual weeping; For at the descent of Horonaim They have heard the 9anguished cry of destruction.610Flee, save yourselves, So that you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.7For because of your 11trust in your own achievements and treasures, You yourself will also be captured; And 12Chemosh will go off into exile Together with his priests and his leaders.8A destroyer will come to every city, So that no city will escape; The valley also will be ruined And the 13plateau will be destroyed, As the Lord has said.
