Tree of Life Version
Jeremiah 48:26-35
26“Make him drunk, for he exalted himself against Adonai. So Moab will wallow in his vomit and also become a laughingstock.
27After all, Israel is a laughingstock to you. Was he ever found among thieves, that whenever you speak of him, you should wag the head?
28Inhabitants of Moab, leave the towns and dwell in crags— like a dove nesting in a cave’s mouth.
29We have heard of the pride of Moab —very proud he is—his haughtiness, his arrogance, his insolence, and his self-exalted heart.
30I know his arrogance,” says Adonai, “but it is dishonest— his boasts really accomplish nothing.
31Therefore I wail for Moab! Yes, I cry out for all Moab, for the men of Kir-heres I moan.
32More than weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah! Your branches spread to the sea, reached as far as the sea of Jazer. On your summer fruits and your vintage the destroyer has fallen.
33So joy and gladness are taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I stopped wine from the winepresses. No one will tread with shouting— any shouting is not a shout of joy.”
34“From the outcry of Heshbon to Elealeh, as far as Jahaz they will raise their voice—from Zoar to Horonaim and a 3-year old heifer—for the Waters of Nimrim also will be waste.
35Moreover I will make an end in Moab”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“of the one offering on the high place and the one burning incense to his gods.”
