Jeremiah 48
1Of 1 “ Woe to Nebo! 2 For it is laid waste. 1 Kiriathaim is disappointed. 2 It is taken. 1 Misgab + 48:1 or, The stronghold is put to shame 2 and broken down. 1
2The 2 In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: 2 ‘ Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ 1 You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. 2 The sword will pursue you. 1
3The 2 desolation and great destruction! 1
4Moab 2 Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard. 1
5For 2 For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction. 1
6Flee 2 Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness. 1
7For 2 you also will be taken. 1 Chemosh will go out into captivity, 2 his priests and his princes together. 1
8The 2 and no city will escape; 1 the valley also will perish, 2 and the plain will be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken. 1
9Give 2 that she may fly and get herself away: 1 and her cities will become a desolation, 2 without anyone to dwell in them. 1
10“Cursed is 2 and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood. 1
11“ Moab 2 and he has settled on his dregs, 1 and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, 2 neither has he gone into captivity; 1 therefore his taste remains in him, 2 and his scent is not changed. 1
12Therefore 2 “ that I will send to him those who pour off, 1 and they will pour him off; 2 and they will empty his vessels, 2 and break their containers in pieces. 1
13Moab 2 as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence. 1
14“How do you say, ‘We are 2 and valiant men for the war’? 1
15Moab 2 and they have gone up into his cities, 2 and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” 2 says the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts. 1
16“ The 2 and his affliction hurries fast. 1
17All 2 and all you who know his name, say, 1 ‘ How the strong staff is broken, 2 the beautiful rod!’ 1
18“ You 2 come down from your glory, 2 and sit in thirst; 1 for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. 2 He has destroyed your strongholds. 1
19Inhabitant 2 Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; 2 say, ‘ What has been done?’ 1
20Moab 2 for it is broken down. 1 Wail and cry! 2 Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste. 1
21Judgement has 2 on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath, 2
22on 2
23on 2
24on 2 and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. 1
25The 2 and his arm is broken,” says the LORD. 1
26“ Make 2 for he magnified himself against the LORD. 1 Moab will wallow in his vomit, 2 and he also will be in derision. 1
27For 2 Was he found amongst thieves? 1 For as often as you speak of him, 2 you shake your head. 1
28You 2 Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss. 1
29“ We 2 He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride, 2 his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart. 1
30I 2 his boastings have done nothing. 1
31Therefore 2 Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. 2 They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres. 1
32With 2 I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. 1 Your branches passed over the sea. 2 They reached even to the sea of Jazer. 1 The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits 2 and on your vintage. 1
33Gladness 2 and from the land of Moab. 1 I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. 2 No one will tread with shouting. 2 The shouting will be no shouting. 1
34From 2 even to Jahaz they have uttered their voice, 2 from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah; 2 for the waters of Nimrim will also become desolate. 1
35Moreover I 2 “ him who offers in the high place, 2 and him who burns incense to his gods. 1
36Therefore 2 and my heart sounds like flutes for the men of Kir Heres. 2 Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished. 1
37For 2 and every beard clipped. 1 There are cuttings on all the hands, 2 and sackcloth on the waist. 1
38On 2 and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; 2 for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says the LORD. 1
39“How it 2 How they wail! 1 How Moab has turned the back with shame! 2 So will Moab become a derision 2 and a terror to all who are around him.” 1
40For 2 and will spread out his wings against Moab. 1
41Kerioth 2 and the strongholds are seized. 1 The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day 2 will be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 1
42Moab 2 because he has magnified himself against the LORD. 1
43Terror 2 inhabitant of Moab,” says the LORD. 1
44“ He 2 and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken in the snare, 1 for I will bring on him, even on Moab, 2 the year of their visitation,” says the LORD. 1
45“ Those 2 for a fire has gone out of Heshbon, 2 and a flame from the middle of Sihon, 1 and has devoured the corner of Moab, 2 and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. 1
46Woe to 2 The people of Chemosh are undone; 1 for your sons are taken away captive, 2 and your daughters into captivity. 1
47“ Yet 2 says the LORD. Thus far is the judgement of Moab.
