Book 24 Jeremiah Chapter 048

 

048:001Against 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.

 

048:002There 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.

 

048:003A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great
destruction.

 

048:004Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be
heard.

 

048:005For 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.

 

048:006Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the
wilderness.

 

048:007For 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.

 

048:008And 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.

 

048:009Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the
cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell
therein.

 

048:010Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and
cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

 

048:011Moab 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.

 

048:012Therefore, 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.

 

048:013And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel
was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

 

048:014How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?

 

048:015Moab 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.

 

048:016The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction
hasteth fast.

 

048:017All 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!

 

048:018Thou 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.

 

048:019O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him
that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?

 

048:020Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell
ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,

 

048:021And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and
upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,

 

048:022And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,

 

048:023And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,

 

048:024And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of
the land of Moab, far or near.

 

048:025The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the
LORD.

 

048:026Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the
LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall
be in derision.

 

048:027For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among
thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for
joy.

 

048:028O 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.

 

048:029We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his
loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the
haughtiness of his heart.

 

048:030I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his
lies shall not so effect it.

 

048:031Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all
Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.

 

048:032O 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.

 

048:033And 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.

 

048:034From 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.

 

048:035Moreover 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.

 

048:036Therefore 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.

 

048:037For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon
all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

 

048:038There 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.

 

048:039They 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.

 

048:040For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and
shall spread his wings over Moab.

 

048:041Kerioth 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.

 

048:042And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he
hath magnified himself against the LORD.

 

048:043Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O
inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

 

048:044He 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.

 

048:045They 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.

 

048:046Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for
thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.

 

048:047Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter
days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
