Jeremiah 48:9-15

9GiveH5414 wings unto MoabH4124, that sheH3588 may fly and getH3318 herH5414 awayH3318: and herH5414 citiesH5892 shall becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, withoutH369 anyH369 to dwellH3427 therein.

10CursedH779 be he that doeth the workH4399 of the LORDH3068 negligently, and cursedH779 be he that keepeth backH4513 his swordH2719 from bloodH1818.

11MoabH4124 hath been at easeH7599 from his youthH5271, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath notH3808 been emptied from vesselH3627 to vesselH3627, neitherH3808 hath he goneH1980 intoH413 captivity: therefore his tasteH2940 remaineth in him, and his scent is notH3808 changedH4171.

12Therefore, beholdH2009, the daysH3117 comeH935, saith the LORDH3068, that I will sendH7971 unto him them that pour offH7971, and they shall pour him offH7971; and they shall empty his vesselsH3627, and break their bottles in pieces.

13And MoabH4124 shall be ashamedH954 of ChemoshH3645, as the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was ashamedH954 of Beth-el their confidenceH4009.

14HowH349 sayH559 ye, WeH587 are mightyH1368 menH376, and valiantH2428 menH376 for the warH4421?

15MoabH4124 is laid wasteH7703, and they are goneH5927 upH5927 intoH3381 herH3381 citiesH5892; and his chosen youngH970 menH970 are goneH5927 downH3381 to the slaughterH2874, saith the KingH4428, whoseH8034 nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
