them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay...: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey...: Heb. their obedience}

Isaiah 15:1--16:14

15:1

The burden
<04853>

of Moab
<04124>_.

Because in the night
<03915>

Ar
<06144>

of Moab
<04124>

is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,

[and] brought to silence
<01820> (8738)_;

because in the night
<03915>

Kir
<07024>

of Moab
<04124>

is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,

[and] brought to silence
<01820> (8738)_;

{brought...: or, cut off}

15:2

He is gone up
<05927> (8804)

to Bajith
<01006>_,

and to Dibon
<01769>_,

the high places
<01116>_,

to weep
<01065>_:

Moab
<04124>

shall howl
<03213> (8686)

over Nebo
<05015>_,

and over Medeba
<04311>_:

on all their heads
<07218>

[shall be] baldness
<07144>_,

[and] every beard
<02206>

cut off
<01438> (8803)_.

15:3

In their streets
<02351>

they shall gird
<02296> (8804)

themselves with sackcloth
<08242>_:

on the tops
<01406>

of their houses, and in their streets
<07339>_,

every one shall howl
<03213> (8686)_,

weeping
<01065>

abundantly
<03381> (8802)_.

{weeping...: Heb. descending into weeping, or, coming down with weeping}

15:4

And Heshbon
<02809>

shall cry
<02199> (8799)_,

and Elealeh
<0500>_:

their voice
<06963>

shall be heard
<08085> (8738)

[even] unto Jahaz
<03096>_:

therefore the armed soldiers
<02502> (8803)

of Moab
<04124>

shall cry out
<07321> (8686)_;

his life
<05315>

shall be grievous
<03415> (8804)

unto him.

15:5

My heart
<03820>

shall cry out
<02199> (8799)

for Moab
<04124>_;

his fugitives
<01280>

[shall flee] unto Zoar
<06820>_,

an heifer
<05697>

of three years old
<07992>_:

for by the mounting up
<04608>

of Luhith
<03872>

with weeping
<01065>

shall they go it up
<05927> (8799)_;

for in the way
<01870>

of Horonaim
<02773>

they shall raise up
<05782> (8787)

a cry
<02201>

of destruction
<07667>_.

{his...: or, to the borders thereof, even to Zoar, as an heifer} {destruction: Heb. breaking}

15:6

For the waters
<04325>

of Nimrim
<05249>

shall be desolate
<04923>_:

for the hay
<02682>

is withered away
<03001> (8804)_,

the grass
<01877>

faileth
<03615> (8804)_,

there is no green thing
<03418>_.

{desolate: Heb. desolations}

15:7

Therefore the abundance
<03502>

they have gotten
<06213> (8804)_,

and that which they have laid up
<06486>_,

shall they carry away
<05375> (8799)

to the brook
<05158>

of the willows
<06155>_.

{brook...: or, valley of the Arabians}

15:8

For the cry
<02201>

is gone round about
<05362> (8689)

the borders
<01366>

of Moab
<04124>_;

the howling
<03215>

thereof unto Eglaim
<097>_,

and the howling
<03215>

thereof unto Beerelim
<0879>_.

15:9

For the waters
<04325>

of Dimon
<01775>

shall be full
<04390> (8804)

of blood
<01818>_:

for I will bring
<07896> (8799)

more
<03254> (8737)

upon Dimon
<01775>_,

lions
<0738>

upon him that escapeth
<06413>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and upon the remnant
<07611>

of the land
<0127>_.

{more: Heb. additions}

16:1

Send
<07971> (8798)

ye the lamb
<03733>

to the ruler
<04910> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

from Sela
<05554>

to the wilderness
<04057>_,

unto the mount
<02022>

of the daughter
<01323>

of Zion
<06726>_.

{Sela: or, Petra: Heb. A rock}

16:2

For it shall be, [that], as a wandering
<05074> (8802)

bird
<05775>

cast out
<07971> (8794)

of the nest
<07064>_,

[so] the daughters
<01323>

of Moab
<04124>

shall be at the fords
<04569>

of Arnon
<0769>_.

{cast...: or, a nest forsaken}

16:3

Take
<0935> (8685)

counsel
<06098>_,

execute
<06213> (8798)

judgment
<06415>_;

make
<07896> (8798)

thy shadow
<06738>

as the night
<03915>

in the midst
<08432>

of the noonday
<06672>_;

hide
<05641> (8761)

the outcasts
<05080> (8737)_;

bewray
<01540> (8762)

not him that wandereth
<05074> (8802)_.

{Take: Heb. Bring}

16:4

Let mine outcasts
<05080> (8737)

dwell
<01481> (8799)

with thee, Moab
<04124>_;

be
<01933> (8798)

thou a covert
<05643>

to them from the face
<06440>

of the spoiler
<07703> (8802)_:

for the extortioner
<04160> (8801)

is at an end
<0656> (8804)_,

the spoiler
<07701>

ceaseth
<03615> (8804)_,

the oppressors
<07429> (8802)

are consumed
<08552> (8804)

out of the land
<0776>_.

{extortioner: Heb. wringer} {the oppressors: Heb. the treaders down}

16:5

And in mercy
<02617>

shall the throne
<03678>

be established
<03559> (8717)_:

and he shall sit
<03427> (8804)

upon it in truth
<0571>

in the tabernacle
<0168>

of David
<01732>_,

judging
<08199> (8802)_,

and seeking
<01875> (8802)

judgment
<04941>_,

and hasting
<04106>

righteousness
<06664>_.

{established: or, prepared}

16:6

We have heard
<08085> (8804)

of the pride
<01347>

of Moab
<04124>_;

[he is] very
<03966>

proud
<01341>_:

[even] of his haughtiness
<01346>_,

and his pride
<01347>_,

and his wrath
<05678>_:

[but] his lies
<0907>

[shall] not [be] so.

16:7

Therefore shall Moab
<04124>

howl
<03213> (8686)

for Moab
<04124>_,

every one shall howl
<03213> (8686)_:

for the foundations
<0808>

of Kirhareseth
<07025>

shall ye mourn
<01897> (8799)_;

surely [they are] stricken
<05218>_.

{mourn: or, mutter}

16:8

For the fields
<07709>

of Heshbon
<02809>

languish
<0535> (8797)_,

[and] the vine
<01612>

of Sibmah
<07643>_:

the lords
<01167>

of the heathen
<01471>

have broken down
<01986> (8804)

the principal plants
<08291>

thereof, they are come
<05060> (8804)

[even] unto Jazer
<03270>_,

they wandered
<08582> (8804)

[through] the wilderness
<04057>_:

her branches
<07976>

are stretched out
<05203> (8738)_,

they are gone over
<05674> (8804)

the sea
<03220>_.

{stretched...: or, plucked up}

16:9

Therefore I will bewail
<01058> (8799)

with the weeping
<01065>

of Jazer
<03270>

the vine
<01612>

of Sibmah
<07643>_:

I will water
<07301> (8762)

thee with my tears
<01832>_,

O Heshbon
<02809>_,

and Elealeh
<0500>_:

for the shouting
<01959>

for thy summer fruits
<07019>

and for thy harvest
<07105>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)_.

{the shouting...: or, the alarm is fallen upon, etc}

16:10

And gladness
<08057>

is taken away
<0622> (8738)_,

and joy
<01524>

out of the plentiful field
<03759>_;

and in the vineyards
<03754>

there shall be no singing
<07442> (8792)_,

neither shall there be shouting
<07321> (8783)_:

the treaders
<01869> (8802)

shall tread out
<01869> (8799)

no wine
<03196>

in [their] presses
<03342>_;

I have made [their vintage] shouting
<01959>

to cease
<07673> (8689)_.

16:11

Wherefore my bowels
<04578>

shall sound
<01993> (8799)

like an harp
<03658>

for Moab
<04124>_,

and mine inward parts
<07130>

for Kirharesh
<07025>_.

16:12

And it shall come to pass, when it is seen
<07200> (8738)

that Moab
<04124>

is weary
<03811> (8738)

on the high place
<01116>_,

that he shall come
<0935> (8804)

to his sanctuary
<04720>

to pray
<06419> (8692)_;

but he shall not prevail
<03201> (8799)_.

16:13

This [is] the word
<01697>

that the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

concerning Moab
<04124>

since that time
<0227>_.

16:14

But now the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Within three
<07969>

years
<08141>_,

as the years
<08141>

of an hireling
<07916>_,

and the glory
<03519>

of Moab
<04124>

shall be contemned
<07034> (8738)_,

with all that great
<07227>

multitude
<01995>_;

and the remnant
<07605>

[shall be] very
<04592>

small
<04213>

[and] feeble
<03808> <03524>_.

{feeble: or, not many}

Isaiah 25:10

25:10

For in this mountain
<02022>

shall the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

rest
<05117> (8799)_,

and Moab
<04124>

shall be trodden down
<01758> (8736)

under him, even as straw
<04963>

is trodden down
<01758> (8738)

for the dunghill
<01119> <04087> (8675) <04325>_.

{trodden down under: or, threshed, etc} {trodden down for...: or, threshed in Madmenah}

Jeremiah 48:1-47

48:1

Against Moab
<04124>

thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_;

Woe
<01945>

unto Nebo
<05015>_!

for it is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:

Kiriathaim
<07156>

is confounded
<03001> (8689)

[and] taken
<03920> (8738)_:

Misgab
<04869>

is confounded
<03001> (8689)

and dismayed
<02865> (8804)_.

{Misgab: or, the high place}

48:2

[There shall be] no more praise
<08416>

of Moab
<04124>_:

in Heshbon
<02809>

they have devised
<02803> (8804)

evil
<07451>

against it; come
<03212> (8798)_,

and let us cut it off
<03772> (8686)

from [being] a nation
<01471>_.

Also thou shalt be cut down
<01826> (8735)_,

O Madmen
<04086>_;

the sword
<02719>

shall pursue
<03212> (8799)

thee
<0310>_.

{be cut...: or, be brought to silence} {pursue...: Heb. go after thee}

48:3

A voice
<06963>

of crying
<06818>

[shall be] from Horonaim
<02773>_,

spoiling
<07701>

and great
<01419>

destruction
<07667>_.

48:4

Moab
<04124>

is destroyed
<07665> (8738)_;

her little ones
<06810>

have caused a cry
<02201>

to be heard
<08085> (8689)_.

48:5

For in the going up
<04608>

of Luhith
<03872>

continual
<01065>

weeping
<01065>

shall go up
<05927> (8799)_;

for in the going down
<04174>

of Horonaim
<02773>

the enemies
<06862>

have heard
<08085> (8804)

a cry
<06818>

of destruction
<07667>_.

{continual...: Heb. weeping with weeping}

48:6

Flee
<05127> (8798)_,

save
<04422> (8761)

your lives
<05315>_,

and be
<01961> (8799)

like the heath
<06176>

in the wilderness
<04057>_.

{the heath: or, a naked tree}

48:7

For because thou hast trusted
<0982> (8800)

in thy works
<04639>

and in thy treasures
<0214>_,

thou shalt also be taken
<03920> (8735)_:

and Chemosh
<03645>

shall go forth
<03318> (8804)

into captivity
<01473>

[with] his priests
<03548>

and his princes
<08269>

together
<03162>_.

48:8

And the spoiler
<07703> (8802)

shall come
<0935> (8799)

upon every city
<05892>_,

and no city
<05892>

shall escape
<04422> (8735)_:

the valley
<06010>

also shall perish
<06> (8804)_,

and the plain
<04334>

shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)_,

as the LORD
<03068>

hath spoken
<0559> (8804)_.

48:9

Give
<05414> (8798)

wings
<06731>

unto Moab
<04124>_,

that it may flee
<05323> (8800)

and get away
<03318> (8799)_:

for the cities
<05892>

thereof shall be desolate
<08047>_,

without any to dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein
<02004>_.

48:10

Cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] he that doeth
<06213> (8802)

the work
<04399>

of the LORD
<03068>

deceitfully
<07423>_,

and cursed
<0779> (8803)

[be] he that keepeth back
<04513> (8802)

his sword
<02719>

from blood
<01818>_.

{deceitfully: or, negligently}

48:11

Moab
<04124>

hath been at ease
<07599> (8768)

from his youth
<05271>_,

and he hath settled
<08252> (8802)

on his lees
<08105>_,

and hath not been emptied
<07324> (8717)

from vessel
<03627>

to vessel
<03627>_,

neither hath he gone
<01980> (8804)

into captivity
<01473>_:

therefore his taste
<02940>

remained
<05975> (8804)

in him, and his scent
<07381>

is not changed
<04171> (8738)_.

{remained: Heb. stood}

48:12

Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

that I will send
<07971> (8765)

unto him wanderers
<06808> (8802)_,

that shall cause him to wander
<06808> (8765)_,

and shall empty
<07324> (8686)

his vessels
<03627>_,

and break
<05310> (8762)

their bottles
<05035>_.

48:13

And Moab
<04124>

shall be ashamed
<0954> (8804)

of Chemosh
<03645>_,

as the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

was ashamed
<0954> (8804)

of Bethel
<01008>

their confidence
<04009>_.

48:14

How say
<0559> (8799)

ye, We [are] mighty
<01368>

and strong
<02428>

men
<0582>

for the war
<04421>_?

48:15

Moab
<04124>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,

and gone up
<05927> (8804)

[out of] her cities
<05892>_,

and his chosen
<04005>

young men
<0970>

are gone down
<03381> (8804)

to the slaughter
<02874>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the King
<04428>_,

whose name
<08034>

[is] the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_.

{his...: Heb. the choice of}

48:16

The calamity
<0343>

of Moab
<04124>

[is] near
<07138>

to come
<0935> (8800)_,

and his affliction
<07451>

hasteth
<04116> (8765)

fast
<03966>_.

48:17

All ye that are about
<05439>

him, bemoan
<05110> (8798)

him; and all ye that know
<03045> (8802)

his name
<08034>_,

say
<0559> (8798)_,

How is the strong
<05797>

staff
<04294>

broken
<07665> (8738)_,

[and] the beautiful
<08597>

rod
<04731>_!

48:18

Thou daughter
<01323>

that dost inhabit
<03427> (8802)

Dibon
<01769>_,

come down
<03381> (8798)

from [thy] glory
<03519>_,

and sit
<03427> (8798)

in thirst
<06772>_;

for the spoiler
<07703> (8802)

of Moab
<04124>

shall come
<05927> (8804)

upon thee, [and] he shall destroy
<07843> (8765)

thy strong holds
<04013>_.

48:19

O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Aroer
<06177>_,

stand
<05975> (8798)

by the way
<01870>_,

and espy
<06822> (8761)_;

ask
<07592> (8798)

him that fleeth
<05127> (8801)_,

and her that escapeth
<04422> (8737)_,

[and] say
<0559> (8798)_,

What is done
<01961> (8738)_?

{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

48:20

Moab
<04124>

is confounded
<03001> (8689)_;

for it is broken down
<02865> (8804)_:

howl
<03213> (8685)

and cry
<02199> (8798)_;

tell
<05046> (8685)

ye it in Arnon
<0769>_,

that Moab
<04124>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,

48:21

And judgment
<04941>

is come
<0935> (8804)

upon the plain
<04334>

country
<0776>_;

upon Holon
<02473>_,

and upon Jahazah
<03096>_,

and upon Mephaath
<04158>_,

48:22

And upon Dibon
<01769>_,

and upon Nebo
<05015>_,

and upon Bethdiblathaim
<01015>_,

48:23

And upon Kiriathaim
<07156>_,

and upon Bethgamul
<01014>_,

and upon Bethmeon
<01010>_,

48:24

And upon Kerioth
<07152>_,

and upon Bozrah
<01224>_,

and upon all the cities
<05892>

of the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_,

far
<07350>

or near
<07138>_.

48:25

The horn
<07161>

of Moab
<04124>

is cut off
<01438> (8738)_,

and his arm
<02220>

is broken
<07665> (8738)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

48:26

Make ye him drunken
<07937> (8685)_:

for he magnified
<01431> (8689)

[himself] against the LORD
<03068>_:

Moab
<04124>

also shall wallow
<05606> (8804)

in his vomit
<06892>_,

and he also shall be in derision
<07814>_.

48:27

For was not Israel
<03478>

a derision
<07814>

unto thee? was he found
<04672> (8738)

among thieves
<01590>_?

for since
<01767>

thou spakest
<01697>

of him, thou skippedst
<05110> (8709)

for joy. {skippedst...: or, movedst thyself}

48:28

O ye that dwell
<03427> (8802)

in Moab
<04124>_,

leave
<05800> (8798)

the cities
<05892>_,

and dwell
<07931> (8798)

in the rock
<05553>_,

and be like the dove
<03123>

[that] maketh her nest
<07077> (8762)

in the sides
<05676>

of the hole's
<06354>

mouth
<06310>_.

48:29

We have heard
<08085> (8804)

the pride
<01347>

of Moab
<04124>_,

(he is exceeding
<03966>

proud
<01343>)

his loftiness
<01363>_,

and his arrogancy
<01346>_,

and his pride
<01347>_,

and the haughtiness
<07312>

of his heart
<03820>_.

48:30

I know
<03045> (8804)

his wrath
<05678>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_;

but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies
<0907>

shall not so effect
<06213> (8804)

[it]. {his lies...: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}

48:31

Therefore will I howl
<03213> (8686)

for Moab
<04124>_,

and I will cry out
<02199> (8799)

for all Moab
<04124>_;

[mine heart] shall mourn
<01897> (8799)

for the men
<0582>

of Kirheres
<07025>_.

48:32

O vine
<01612>

of Sibmah
<07643>_,

I will weep
<01058> (8799)

for thee with the weeping
<01065>

of Jazer
<03270>_:

thy plants
<05189>

are gone over
<05674> (8804)

the sea
<03220>_,

they reach
<05060> (8804)

[even] to the sea
<03220>

of Jazer
<03270>_:

the spoiler
<07703> (8802)

is fallen
<05307> (8804)

upon thy summer fruits
<07019>

and upon thy vintage
<01210>_.

48:33

And joy
<08057>

and gladness
<01524>

is taken
<0622> (8738)

from the plentiful field
<03759>_,

and from the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_;

and I have caused wine
<03196>

to fail
<07673> (8689)

from the winepresses
<03342>_:

none shall tread
<01869> (8799)

with shouting
<01959>_;

[their] shouting
<01959>

[shall be] no shouting
<01959>_.

48:34

From the cry
<02201>

of Heshbon
<02809>

[even] unto Elealeh
<0500>_,

[and even] unto Jahaz
<03096>_,

have they uttered
<05414> (8804)

their voice
<06963>_,

from Zoar
<06820>

[even] unto Horonaim
<02773>_,

[as] an heifer
<05697>

of three years old
<07992>_:

for the waters
<04325>

also of Nimrim
<05249>

shall be desolate
<04923>_.

{desolate: Heb. desolations}

48:35

Moreover I will cause to cease
<07673> (8689)

in Moab
<04124>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_,

him that offereth
<05927> (8688)

in the high places
<01116>_,

and him that burneth incense
<06999> (8688)

to his gods
<0430>_.

48:36

Therefore mine heart
<03820>

shall sound
<01993> (8799)

for Moab
<04124>

like pipes
<02485>_,

and mine heart
<03820>

shall sound
<01993> (8799)

like pipes
<02485>

for the men
<0582>

of Kirheres
<07025>_:

because the riches
<03502>

[that] he hath gotten
<06213> (8804)

are perished
<06> (8804)_.

48:37

For every head
<07218>

[shall be] bald
<07144>_,

and every beard
<02206>

clipped
<01639> (8803)_:

upon all the hands
<03027>

[shall be] cuttings
<01417>_,

and upon the loins
<04975>

sackcloth
<08242>_.

{clipped: Heb. diminished}

48:38

[There shall be] lamentation
<04553>

generally upon all the housetops
<01406>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and in the streets
<07339>

thereof: for I have broken
<07665> (8804)

Moab
<04124>

like a vessel
<03627>

wherein [is] no pleasure
<02656>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

48:39

They shall howl
<03213> (8685)_,

[saying], How is it broken down
<02865> (8804)_!

how hath Moab
<04124>

turned
<06437> (8689)

the back
<06203>

with shame
<0954> (8804)_!

so shall Moab
<04124>

be a derision
<07814>

and a dismaying
<04288>

to all them about
<05439>

him. {back: Heb. neck}

48:40

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, he shall fly
<01675> (8799)

as an eagle
<05404>_,

and shall spread
<06566> (8804)

his wings
<03671>

over Moab
<04124>_.

48:41

Kerioth
<07152>

is taken
<03920> (8738)_,

and the strong holds
<04679>

are surprised
<08610> (8738)_,

and the mighty men's
<01368>

hearts
<03820>

in Moab
<04124>

at that day
<03117>

shall be as the heart
<03820>

of a woman
<0802>

in her pangs
<06887> (8688)_.

{Kerioth: or, The cities}

48:42

And Moab
<04124>

shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)

from [being] a people
<05971>_,

because he hath magnified
<01431> (8689)

[himself] against the LORD
<03068>_.

48:43

Fear
<06343>_,

and the pit
<06354>_,

and the snare
<06341>_,

[shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

of Moab
<04124>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

48:44

He that fleeth
<05127> (8801) (8675) <05211>

from
<06440>

the fear
<06343>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

into the pit
<06354>_;

and he that getteth up
<05927> (8802)

out of the pit
<06354>

shall be taken
<03920> (8735)

in the snare
<06341>_:

for I will bring
<0935> (8686)

upon it, [even] upon Moab
<04124>_,

the year
<08141>

of their visitation
<06486>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

48:45

They that fled
<05127> (8801)

stood
<05975> (8804)

under the shadow
<06738>

of Heshbon
<02809>

because of the force
<03581>_:

but a fire
<0784>

shall come forth
<03318> (8804)

out of Heshbon
<02809>_,

and a flame
<03852>

from the midst
<0996>

of Sihon
<05511>_,

and shall devour
<0398> (8799)

the corner
<06285>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and the crown of the head
<06936>

of the tumultuous
<07588>

ones
<01121>_.

{tumultuous...: Heb. children of noise}

48:46

Woe
<0188>

be unto thee, O Moab
<04124>_!

the people
<05971>

of Chemosh
<03645>

perisheth
<06> (8804)_:

for thy sons
<01121>

are taken
<03947> (8795)

captives
<07628>_,

and thy daughters
<01323>

captives
<07633>_.

{captives, and: Heb. in captivity, etc}

48:47

Yet will I bring again
<07725> (8804)

the captivity
<07622>

of Moab
<04124>

in the latter
<0319>

days
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

Thus far
<02008>

[is] the judgment
<04941>

of Moab
<04124>_.

Ezekiel 25:8-9

25:8

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

Because
<03282>

that Moab
<04124>

and Seir
<08165>

do say
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, the house
<01004>

of Judah
<03063>

[is] like unto all the heathen
<01471>_;

25:9

Therefore, behold, I will open
<06605> (8802)

the side
<03802>

of Moab
<04124>

from the cities
<05892>_,

from his cities
<05892>

[which are] on his frontiers
<07097>_,

the glory
<06643>

of the country
<0776>_,

Bethjeshimoth
<01020>_,

Baalmeon
<01186>_,

and Kiriathaim
<07156>_,

{side...: Heb. shoulder of Moab}

Zephaniah 2:8-9

2:8

I have heard
<08085> (8804)

the reproach
<02781>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and the revilings
<01421>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

whereby they have reproached
<02778> (8765)

my people
<05971>_,

and magnified
<01431> (8686)

[themselves] against their border
<01366>_.

2:9

Therefore [as] I live
<02416>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Surely Moab
<04124>

shall be as Sodom
<05467>_,

and the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

as Gomorrah
<06017>_,

[even] the breeding
<04476>

of nettles
<02738>_,

and saltpits
<04379> <04417>_,

and a perpetual
<05704> <05769>

desolation
<08077>_:

the residue
<07611>

of my people
<05971>

shall spoil
<0962> (8799)

them, and the remnant
<03499>

of my people
<01471>

shall possess
<05157> (8799)

them.
