Jeremiah 48:1-17

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>_!
