JER-48:1 Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of
Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is
confounded [and] taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
JER-48:2 [There shall be] no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon
they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off
from [being] a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen;
the sword shall pursue thee.
JER-48:3 A voice of crying [shall be] from Horonaim, spoiling
and great destruction.
JER-48:4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to
be heard.
JER-48:5 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall
go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard
a cry of destruction.
JER-48:6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the
wilderness.
JER-48:7 For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy
treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth
into captivity [with] his priests and his princes together.
JER-48:8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city
shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall
be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.
JER-48:9 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away:
for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell
therein.
JER-48:10 Cursed [be] he that doeth the work of the LORD
deceitfully, and cursed [be] he that keepeth back his sword from
blood.
JER-48:11 Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath
settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to
vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste
remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
JER-48:12 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that
I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander,
and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
JER-48:13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of
Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
JER-48:14 How say ye, We [are] mighty and strong men for the war?
JER-48:15 Moab is spoiled, and gone up [out of] her cities, and
his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the
King, whose name [is] the LORD of hosts.
JER-48:16 The calamity of Moab [is] near to come, and his
affliction hasteth fast.
JER-48:17 All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that
know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, [and] the
beautiful rod!
JER-48:18 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from
[thy] glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall
come upon thee, [and] he shall destroy thy strong holds.
JER-48:19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask
him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, [and] say, What is done?
JER-48:20 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and
cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
JER-48:21 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon
Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
JER-48:22 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,
JER-48:23 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon
Bethmeon,
JER-48:24 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the
cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
JER-48:25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,
saith the LORD.
JER-48:26 Make ye him drunken: for he magnified [himself]
against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he
also shall be in derision.
JER-48:27 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found
among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for
joy.
JER-48:28 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell
in the rock, and be like the dove [that] maketh her nest in the
sides of the hole's mouth.
JER-48:29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding
proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the
haughtiness of his heart.
JER-48:30 I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but [it shall] not
[be] so; his lies shall not so effect [it].
JER-48:31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for
all Moab; [mine heart] shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
JER-48:32 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the
weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach
[even] to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy
summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
JER-48:33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field,
and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from
the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; [their]
shouting [shall be] no shouting.
JER-48:34 From the cry of Heshbon [even] unto Elealeh, [and
even] unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar
[even] unto Horonaim, [as] an heifer of three years old: for the
waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
JER-48:35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD,
him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth
incense to his gods.
JER-48:36 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes,
and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres:
because the riches [that] he hath gotten are perished.
JER-48:37 For every head [shall be] bald, and every beard
clipped: upon all the hands [shall be] cuttings, and upon the
loins sackcloth.
JER-48:38 [There shall be] lamentation generally upon all the
housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken
Moab like a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure, saith the LORD.
JER-48:39 They shall howl, [saying], How is it broken down! how
hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a
derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
JER-48:40 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an
eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
JER-48:41 Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised,
and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the
heart of a woman in her pangs.
JER-48:42 And Moab shall be destroyed from [being] a people,
because he hath magnified [himself] against the LORD.
JER-48:43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [shall be] upon thee,
O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.
JER-48:44 He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit;
and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the
snare: for I will bring upon it, [even] upon Moab, the year of
their visitation, saith the LORD.
JER-48:45 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon
because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon,
and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the
corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
JER-48:46 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh
perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters
captives.
