Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel woe! to Nebo for it will be devastated it will be put to shame it will be captured Kiriathaim it will be put to shame the stronghold and it will be shattered.
Against Moab thus says 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.
2 There not again [will be] [the] praise of Moab in Heshbon people have planned on it calamity come and let us cut off it from a nation also O Madmen you will be silent after you it will go [the] sword.
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 you shall be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue you.
3 [the] sound of A cry of distress from Horonaim devastation and destruction great.
A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.
4 It will be broken Moab they will make heard a cry of distress (servants its. *QK)
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 For [the] ascent of (Luhith *QK) with weeping someone will ascend weeping for on [the] descent of Horonaim [the] distresses of [the] crys of destruction people will hear.
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.
6 Flee save life your so they may be like a juniper bush in the wilderness.
Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
7 For because trusting you in deeds your and in treasures your also you you will be captured and he will go out (Chemosh *Qk) in exile priests his and officials his (together. *Qk)
For because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you shall also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.
8 So he may come a destroyer to every city and a city not it will escape and it will be destroyed the valley and it will be destroyed the plain which he has spoken Yahweh.
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 has spoken.
9 Give salt to Moab for [surely] flying it will go out and cities its a waste they will become from not inhabitant in them.
Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10 [is] cursed [one who] does [the] work of Yahweh slackness and [is] cursed [one who] withholds sword his from blood.
Cursed be he that does the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keeps back his sword from blood.
11 It has been at ease Moab since youth its and [has been] undisturbed it to lees its and not it has been poured from vessel to vessel and in exile not it has gone there-fore it has remained taste its in it and aroma its not it has been changed.
Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his sediments of wine, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will send to it [those who] tip and they will tip it and vessels its they will empty out and jars their they will smash.
Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
13 And it will be ashamed Moab from Chemosh just as they were ashamed [the] house of Israel from Beth-el trust their.
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14 How? will you say [are] warriors we and men of strength for battle.
How say all of you, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
15 It will be devastated Moab and cities its he will go up and [the] choicest of young men its they will go down to the slaughter [the] utterance of the king [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
16 [is] near [the] disaster of Moab to coming and calamity its it will hasten exceedingly.
The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hastes fast.
17 Show sympathy to it O all around it and O all [those who] know name its say how! it is broken a staff of strength a staff of splendor.
All you that are about him, lament for him; and all you that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!
18 Come down from honor (and sit *QK) in thirst O inhabitant[s] of [the] daughter of Dibon for [the] destroyer of Moab he will come up on you he will ruin strongholds your.
You daughter that do inhabit Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon you, and he shall destroy your strong holds.
19 To [the] road stand and watch O inhabitant[s] of Aroer ask [a man who] flees and [a woman who] escapes say what? has it happened.
O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and monitor; ask him that flees, and her that escapes, and say, What is done?
20 It has been put to shame Moab for it has been shattered (wail and cry out *Qk) declare at [the] Arnon that it has been devastated Moab.
Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell all of you it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
21 And judgment it will come to [the] land of the plain to Holon and to Jahaz and on (Mephaath. *QK)
And judgment has come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
22 And on Dibon and on Nebo and on Beth Diblathaim.
And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,
23 And on Kiriathaim and on Beth Gamul and on Beth Meon.
And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,
24 And on Kerioth and on Bozrah and on all [the] cities of [the] land of Moab far and near.
And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 It will be cut off [the] horn of Moab and arm its it will be broken [the] utterance of Yahweh.
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the LORD.
26 Make drunk it for on Yahweh it has magnified itself and it will splash Moab in vomit its and it will become a laughing stock also it.
Make all of you him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 And? - not the laughing stock was it to you Israel or? among thieves (was it found *Qk) for as often as words your in it you shook yourself.
For was not Israel a derision unto you? was he found among thieves? for since you spoke of him, you skipped for joy.
28 Abandon cities and dwell among the rock[s] O inhabitants of Moab and be like a dove [which] it makes a nest on [the] sides of [the] mouth of a ravine.
O all of you that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that makes her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.
29 We have heard [the] pride of Moab proud very haughtiness its and pride its and boastfulness its and [the] loftiness of heart its.
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.
30 I I know [the] utterance of Yahweh arrogance its and [it is] not right empty boasts its not right they have accomplished.
I know his wrath, says the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
31 There-fore on Moab I will wail and for Moab all of it I will cry out concerning [the] people of Kir Heres he will groan.
Therefore will I wail for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
32 More than [the] weeping of Jazer I will weep for you O vine of Sibmah tendrils your they passed over [the] sea to [the] sea of Jazer they reached on summer fruit your and on grape harvest your a destroyer he has fallen.
O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for you with the weeping of Jazer: your plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon your summer fruits and upon your vintage.
33 And it has been removed joy and rejoicing from [the] garden-land and from [the] land of Moab and wine from wine-presses I have made to cease not anyone will tread shouting shouting not shouting.
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.
34 From [the] cry of distress of Heshbon to Elealeh to Jahaz people will give voice their from Zoar to Horonaim Eglath Shelishiyah for also [the] waters of Nimrim wastes they will become.
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.
35 And I will put an end to of Moab [the] utterance of Yahweh [one who] offers up a high place and [one who] makes smoke to gods his.
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says the LORD, him that offers in the high places, and him that burns incense to his gods.
36 There-fore heart my for Moab like flutes it will groan and heart my concerning [the] people of Kir Heres like flutes it will groan there-fore [the] wealth [which] he acquired they will be lost.
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 has got are perished.
37 For every head [will be] baldness and every beard [will be] clipped [will be] on all hands cuts and [will be] on loins sackcloth.
For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 [will be] on All [the] roofs of Moab and in open places its all of it wailing for I will break Moab like a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it [the] utterance of Yahweh.
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, says the LORD.
39 How! it has been shattered they will wail how! it has turned a neck Moab it will be ashamed and it will become Moab a laughing stock and an object of terror to all around it.
They shall wail, saying, How is it broken down! how has Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
40 For thus he says Yahweh there! like eagle someone will swoop down and he will spread out wings his against Moab.
For thus says the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
41 It will be captured Kerioth and the strongholds it will be seized and it will be [the] heart of [the] warriors of Moab on the day that like [the] heart of a woman in labor.
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.
42 And it will be destroyed Moab from a people for on Yahweh it has magnified itself.
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.
43 Terror and pit and snare [will be] on you O inhabitant of Moab [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.
44 (The [one who] flees *QK) from before the terror he will fall into the pit and the [one who] climbs up from the pit he will be caught in snare for I will bring to it to Moab [the] year of punishment their [the] utterance of Yahweh.
He that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that gets 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, says the LORD.
45 In [the] shadow of Heshbon they will stand from strength [those who] flee for a fire it will go forth from Heshbon and a flame from between Sihon and it consumed [the] forehead of Moab and [the] scalp of [the] sons of uproar.
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.
46 Woe! to you O Moab it will perish [the] people of Chemosh for they will be taken sons your in captivity and daughters your in captivity.
Woe be unto you, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perishes: for your sons are taken captives, and your daughters captives.
47 And I will turn back [the] captivity of Moab at [the] end of the days [the] utterance of Yahweh [is] to here [the] judgment of Moab.
Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
