Jeremiah 48:1-39

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}
