Jeremiah 48:1-13

1Against MoabH4124 thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; WoeH1945 unto NeboH5015! for it is spoiledH7703: KiriathaimH7156 is confoundedH3001 and takenH3920: MisgabH4869 is confoundedH3001 and dismayedH2865.1 2There shall be no more praiseH8416 of MoabH4124: in HeshbonH2809 they have devisedH2803 evilH7451 against it; comeH3212, and let us cut it offH3772 from being a nationH1471. Also thou shalt be cut downH1826, O MadmenH4086; the swordH2719 shall pursueH3212 theeH310.23 3A voiceH6963 of cryingH6818 shall be from HoronaimH2773, spoilingH7701 and greatH1419 destructionH7667. 4MoabH4124 is destroyedH7665; her little onesH6810 have caused a cryH2201 to be heardH8085. 5For in the going upH4608 of LuhithH3872 continualH1065 weepingH1065 shall go upH5927; for in the going downH4174 of HoronaimH2773 the enemiesH6862 have heardH8085 a cryH6818 of destructionH7667.4 6FleeH5127, saveH4422 your livesH5315, and beH1961 like the heathH6176 in the wildernessH4057.5

7For because thou hast trustedH982 in thy worksH4639 and in thy treasuresH214, thou shalt also be takenH3920: and ChemoshH3645 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473 with his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162. 8And the spoilerH7703 shall comeH935 upon every cityH5892, and no cityH5892 shall escapeH4422: the valleyH6010 also shall perishH6, and the plainH4334 shall be destroyedH8045, as YhwhH3068 hath spokenH559. 9GiveH5414 wingsH6731 unto MoabH4124, that it may fleeH5323 and get awayH3318: for the citiesH5892 thereof shall be desolateH8047, without any to dwellH3427 thereinH2004. 10CursedH779 be he that doethH6213 the workH4399 of YhwhH3068 deceitfullyH7423, and cursedH779 be he that keepeth backH4513 his swordH2719 from bloodH1818.6

11MoabH4124 hath been at easeH7599 from his youthH5271, and he hath settledH8252 on his leesH8105, and hath not been emptiedH7324 from vesselH3627 to vesselH3627, neither hath he goneH1980 into captivityH1473: therefore his tasteH2940 remainedH5975 in him, and his scentH7381 is not changedH4171.7 12Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, that I will sendH7971 unto him wanderersH6808, that shall cause him to wanderH6808, and shall emptyH7324 his vesselsH3627, and breakH5310 their bottlesH5035. 13And MoabH4124 shall be ashamedH954 of ChemoshH3645, as the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was ashamedH954 of Beth–elH1008 their confidenceH4009.
