Jeremiah 48:24-41
24againstH5921 1KeriothH7152, BozrahH1224, and allH3605 the citiesH5892 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, farH7350 and nearH7138. 25The 2hornH7161 of MoabH4124 has been cutH1438 offH1438, and his 3armH2220 brokenH7665,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 26“4MakeH7937 him drunkH7937, for he has 5becomeH1431 6arrogantH1431 towardH5921 the LordH3068; so MoabH4124 will 7vomitH5606, and he alsoH1571 will becomeH1961 a laughingstockH7814. 27Now was IsraelH3478 not a 8laughingstockH7814 to you? OrH518 was he 910caughtH4672 among thievesH1590? For wheneverH4480H1767 you speakH1697 about him you 11shakeH5110 your head in scorn.28LeaveH5800 the citiesH5892 and liveH7931 among the 12rockyH5553 cliffsH5553, You inhabitantsH3427 of MoabH4124, And be like a 13doveH3123 that nestsH7077 BeyondH5676 the mouthH6310 of the chasmH6354.2914We have heardH8085 of the prideH1347 of MoabH4124--he is veryH3966 proudH1343-- Of his haughtinessH7312, his 15prideH1347, his arroganceH1346, and 16his self-exaltationH3820H7312.30I knowH3045 his 17furyH5678,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “But it is futileH3808H3653; His idleH907 boastsH907 have accomplishedH6213 nothingH3808.31ThereforeH5921H3651 I will 18wailH3213 for MoabH4124, For allH3605 of MoabH4124 I will cryH2199 outH2199; 19I will moanH1897 for the menH376 of 20Kir-heresH7025.32MoreH4480 thanH4480 the 21weepingH1065 for 22JazerH3270 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 23joyH8057 and rejoicingH1524 are removedH622 From the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759, and from the landH776 of MoabH4124. And I have 24eliminatedH7673 the wineH3196 from the wineH3342 pressesH3342; NoH3808 one will treadH1869 them with shoutingH1959, The shoutingH1959 will not be shoutsH1959 of joy. 3425From the outcryH2201 at HeshbonH2809 to 26ElealehH500, to JahazH3096 they have 27raisedH5414 their voiceH6963, from 28ZoarH6820 to HoronaimH2773, and to Eglath-shelishiyahH5700H7992; for evenH1571 the watersH4325 of NimrimH5249 will becomeH1961 desolateH4923. 35And I will putH7673 anH7673 endH7673 to MoabH4124,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “the one who offersH5927 sacrifice on the 29highH1116 placeH1116 and the one who 3031burnsH6999 incenseH6999 to his godsH430.
36“ThereforeH5921H3651 My 32heartH3820 makesH1993 aH1993 soundH1993 like flutesH2485 for MoabH4124; My heartH3820 also makesH1993 aH1993 soundH1993 like flutesH2485 for the menH376 of Kir-heresH7025. ThereforeH5921H3651 they have 33lostH6 the abundanceH3502 it producedH6213. 37For 34everyH3605 headH7218 is shaved baldH7144, and everyH3605 beardH2206 cutH1639 shortH1639; there are gashesH1417 on allH3605 the handsH3027, and 35sackclothH8242 aroundH5921 the waistsH4975. 38On allH3605 the 36housetopsH1406 of MoabH4124 and in its publicH7339 squaresH7339 37there is mourningH4553 everywhereH3605; for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like an undesirableH369H2656 38vesselH3627,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 39“HowH349 39shatteredH2865 it is! How they have wailedH3213! HowH349 MoabH4124 has turnedH6437 his backH6203--he isH954 ashamedH954! So MoabH4124 will becomeH1961 a laughingstockH7814 and an 40objectH4288 ofH4288 terrorH4288 to allH3605 aroundH5439 him.”
40For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, one will 41flyH1675 swiftlyH1675 like an eagleH5404 And 42spreadH6566 outH6566 his wingsH3671 againstH413 MoabH4124.41KeriothH7152 has been capturedH3920 And the strongholdsH4679 have been seizedH8610, So the 43heartsH3820 of the warriorsH1368 of MoabH4124 on that dayH3117 Will be like the heartH3820 of a 44womanH802 in laborH6887.
