Jeremiah 48:1-8

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.
