Jeremiah 48:9-15

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 bloodH1818.1

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 changedH4171.2 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.

14How sayH559 ye, We are mightyH1368 and strongH2428 menH582 for the warH4421? 15MoabH4124 is spoiledH7703, and gone upH5927 out of her citiesH5892, and his chosenH4005 young menH970 are gone downH3381 to the slaughterH2874, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is YhwhH3068 of ArmiesH6635.3
