Jeremiah 48:31-45

31ThereforeH5921H3651 I will 1wailH3213 for MoabH4124, For allH3605 of MoabH4124 I will cryH2199 outH2199; 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 6joyH8057 and rejoicingH1524 are removedH622 From the fruitfulH3759 fieldH3759, and from the landH776 of MoabH4124. And I have 7eliminatedH7673 the wineH3196 from the wineH3342 pressesH3342; NoH3808 one will treadH1869 them with shoutingH1959, The shoutingH1959 will not be shoutsH1959 of joy. 348From the outcryH2201 at HeshbonH2809 to 9ElealehH500, to JahazH3096 they have 10raisedH5414 their voiceH6963, from 11ZoarH6820 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 12highH1116 placeH1116 and the one who 1314burnsH6999 incenseH6999 to his godsH430.

36“ThereforeH5921H3651 My 15heartH3820 makesH1993 aH1993 soundH1993 like flutesH2485 for MoabH4124; My heartH3820 also makesH1993 aH1993 soundH1993 like flutesH2485 for the menH376 of Kir-heresH7025. ThereforeH5921H3651 they have 16lostH6 the abundanceH3502 it producedH6213. 37For 17everyH3605 headH7218 is shaved baldH7144, and everyH3605 beardH2206 cutH1639 shortH1639; there are gashesH1417 on allH3605 the handsH3027, and 18sackclothH8242 aroundH5921 the waistsH4975. 38On allH3605 the 19housetopsH1406 of MoabH4124 and in its publicH7339 squaresH7339 20there is mourningH4553 everywhereH3605; for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like an undesirableH369H2656 21vesselH3627,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. 39“HowH349 22shatteredH2865 it is! How they have wailedH3213! HowH349 MoabH4124 has turnedH6437 his backH6203--he isH954 ashamedH954! So MoabH4124 will becomeH1961 a laughingstockH7814 and an 23objectH4288 ofH4288 terrorH4288 to allH3605 aroundH5439 him.”

40For thisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “BeholdH2009, one will 24flyH1675 swiftlyH1675 like an eagleH5404 And 25spreadH6566 outH6566 his wingsH3671 againstH413 MoabH4124.41KeriothH7152 has been capturedH3920 And the strongholdsH4679 have been seizedH8610, So the 26heartsH3820 of the warriorsH1368 of MoabH4124 on that dayH3117 Will be like the heartH3820 of a 27womanH802 in laborH6887.42MoabH4124 will be 28destroyedH8045 from being a peopleH5971 BecauseH3588 he has 29becomeH1431 30arrogantH1431 towardH5921 the LordH3068.4331TerrorH6343, pitH6354, and snareH6341 are coming upon you, InhabitantH3427 of MoabH4124,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.44“The one who 32fleesH5127 from the terrorH6343 Will fallH5307 into the pitH6354, And the one who climbsH5927 upH5927 out of the pitH6354 Will be caughtH3920 in the snareH6341; For I will bringH935 upon her, upon MoabH4124, The yearH8141 of their 33punishmentH6486,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068.

45“In the shadowH6738 of HeshbonH2809 The fugitivesH5127 standH5975 withoutH4480 strengthH3581; For a fireH784 has spreadH3318 outH3318 from HeshbonH2809 And a 34flameH3852 from the midstH996 of 35SihonH5511, And it has devouredH398 the 36foreheadH6285 of MoabH4124 And the scalpsH6936 of the 37loudH7588 revelersH1121.
