Jeremiah 48:24-41

24And upon KeriothH7152, and upon BozrahH1224, and upon all the citiesH5892 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, farH7350 or nearH7138. 25The hornH7161 of MoabH4124 is cut offH1438, and his armH2220 is brokenH7665, saithH5002 YhwhH3068.

26Make ye him drunkenH7937: for he magnifiedH1431 himself against YhwhH3068: MoabH4124 also shall wallowH5606 in his vomitH6892, and he also shall be in derisionH7814. 27For was not IsraelH3478 a derisionH7814 unto thee? was he foundH4672 among thievesH1590? for sinceH1767 thou spakestH1697 of him, thou skippedstH5110 for joy.1 28O ye that dwellH3427 in MoabH4124, leaveH5800 the citiesH5892, and dwellH7931 in the rockH5553, and be like the doveH3123 that maketh her nestH7077 in the sidesH5676 of the hole’sH6354 mouthH6310. 29We have heardH8085 the prideH1347 of MoabH4124, (he is exceedingH3966 proudH1343) his loftinessH1363, and his arrogancyH1346, and his prideH1347, and the haughtinessH7312 of his heartH3820. 30I knowH3045 his wrathH5678, saithH5002 YhwhH3068; but it shall not be so; his liesH907 shall not so effectH6213 it.2 31Therefore will I howlH3213 for MoabH4124, and I will cry outH2199 for all MoabH4124; mine heart shall mournH1897 for the menH582 of Kir–heresH7025. 32O vineH1612 of SibmahH7643, I will weepH1058 for thee with the weepingH1065 of JazerH3270: thy plantsH5189 are gone overH5674 the seaH3220, they reachH5060 even to the seaH3220 of JazerH3270: the spoilerH7703 is fallenH5307 upon thy summer fruitsH7019 and upon thy vintageH1210. 33And joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 is takenH622 from the plentiful fieldH3759, and from the landH776 of MoabH4124; and I have caused wineH3196 to failH7673 from the winepressesH3342: none shall treadH1869 with shoutingH1959; their shoutingH1959 shall be no shoutingH1959. 34From the cryH2201 of HeshbonH2809 even unto ElealehH500, and even unto JahazH3096, have they utteredH5414 their voiceH6963, from ZoarH6820 even unto HoronaimH2773, as an heiferH5697 of three years oldH7992: for the watersH4325 also of NimrimH5249 shall be desolateH4923.3 35Moreover I will cause to ceaseH7673 in MoabH4124, saithH5002 YhwhH3068, him that offerethH5927 in the high placesH1116, and him that burneth incenseH6999 to his godsH430. 36Therefore mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 for MoabH4124 like pipesH2485, and mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 like pipesH2485 for the menH582 of Kir–heresH7025: because the richesH3502 that he hath gottenH6213 are perishedH6. 37For every headH7218 shall be baldH7144, and every beardH2206 clippedH1639: upon all the handsH3027 shall be cuttingsH1417, and upon the loinsH4975 sackclothH8242.4 38There shall be lamentationH4553 generally upon all the housetopsH1406 of MoabH4124, and in the streetsH7339 thereof: for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656, saithH5002 YhwhH3068. 39They shall howlH3213, saying, How is it broken downH2865! how hath MoabH4124 turnedH6437 the backH6203 with shameH954! so shall MoabH4124 be a derisionH7814 and a dismayingH4288 to all them aboutH5439 him.5 40For thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; Behold, he shall flyH1675 as an eagleH5404, and shall spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 over MoabH4124. 41KeriothH7152 is takenH3920, and the strong holdsH4679 are surprisedH8610, and the mighty men’sH1368 heartsH3820 in MoabH4124 at that dayH3117 shall be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangsH6887.6
