Jeremiah, Chapter 48

1 Concerning Moab. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,
“Woe to Nebo, for it has been destroyed;
Kiriathaim has been put to shame, it has been captured;
The lofty stronghold has been put to shame anda Or dismayedshattered.
 2 “There is praise for Moab no longer;
In Heshbon they have devised calamity against her:
‘Come and let us cut her off from being a nation!’
You too,b I.e. a city of MoabMadmen, will be silenced;
The sword will follow after you.
 3 “The sound of an outcry from Horonaim,
‘Devastation and great destruction!’
 4 “Moab is broken,
Her little ones have sounded out a cry of distress.
 5 “For by the ascent of Luhith
They will ascend with continual weeping;
For at the descent of Horonaim
They have heard thec Lit distresses of outcryanguished cry of destruction.
 6 “Flee, save your lives,
That you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.
 7 “For because of your trust in your own achievements and treasures,
Even you yourself will be captured;
And Chemosh will go off into exile
Together with his priests and his princes.
 8 “A destroyer will come to every city,
So that no city will escape;
The valley also will be ruined
And the plateau will be destroyed,
As the LORD has said.
 9 “Gived Or saltwings to Moab,
For she wille Or fall in ruinsflee away;
And her cities will become a desolation,
Without inhabitants in them.
 10 “Cursed be the one who does the LORD’S work negligently,
And cursed be the one who restrains his sword from blood.
 11 “Moab has been at ease since his youth;
He has also been undisturbed, like wine onf Lit hisits dregs,
And he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
Nor has he gone into exile.
Thereforeg Lit his flavor has stayed in himhe retains his flavor,
And his aroma has not changed.
12 Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will send to him those who tip vessels, and they will tip him over, and they will empty his vessels and shatterh Lit theirhis jars. 13 And Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
 14 “How can you say, ‘We are mighty warriors,
And men valiant for battle’?
 15 “Moab has been destroyed andi Lit one hasmen have gone up toj Lit herhis cities;
His choicestk I.e. warriorsyoung men have also gone down to the slaughter,”
Declares the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
 16 “The disaster of Moab will soon come,
And his calamity has swiftly hastened.
 17 “Mourn for him, all you who live around him,
Even all of you who know his name;
Say, ‘How has the mightyl Or rodscepter been broken,
A staff of splendor!’
 18 “Come down from your glory
And sitm Lit in thirston the parched ground,
O daughter dwelling in Dibon,
For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you,
He has ruined your strongholds.
 19 “Stand by the road and keep watch,
O inhabitant of Aroer;
Ask him who flees and her who escapes
And say, ‘What has happened?’
 20 “Moab has been put to shame, for it has beenn Or dismayedshattered.
Wail and cry out;
Declare by the Arnon
That Moab has been destroyed.
21 “Judgment has also come upon the plain, upon Holon, Jahzah and against Mephaath, 22 against Dibon, Nebo and Beth-diblathaim, 23 against Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul and Beth-meon, 24 against Kerioth, Bozrah and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. 25 The horn of Moab has been cut off and his arm broken,” declares the LORD. 26 “Make him drunk, for he haso Or magnified himself againstbecome arrogant toward the LORD; so Moab willp Or splash intowallow in his vomit, and he also will become a laughingstock. 27 Now was not Israel a laughingstock to you? Or was heq Or foundcaught among thieves? For each time you speak about him you shake your head in scorn.
 28 “Leave the cities and dwell among the crags,
O inhabitants of Moab,
And be like a dove that nests
Beyond the mouth of the chasm.
 29 “We have heard of the pride of Moab—he is very proud—
Of his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance andr Lit elevation of his hearthis self-exaltation.
 30 “I know his fury,” declares the LORD,
“But it is futile;
His idle boasts have accomplished nothing.
 31 “Therefore I will wail for Moab,
Even for all Moab will I cry out;
s Another reading is HeI will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
 32 “More than the weeping for Jazer
I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah!
Your tendrils stretched across the sea,
They reached to the sea of Jazer;
Upon your summer fruits and your grape harvest
The destroyer has fallen.
 33 “So gladness and joy are taken away
From the fruitful field, even from the land of Moab.
And I have made the wine to cease from the wine presses;
No one will tread them with shouting,
The shouting will not be shouts of joy.
34 From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they havet Lit given forthraised their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim will become desolate. 35 I will make an end of Moab,” declares the LORD, “the one who offers sacrifice on the high place and the one whou Or offers up in smokeburns incense to his gods.
36 “Therefore My heartv Lit soundswails for Moab like flutes; My heart alsow Lit soundswails like flutes for the men of Kir-heres. Therefore they have lost the abundance it produced. 37 For every head is bald and every beard cut short; there are gashes on all the hands and sackcloth on the loins. 38 On all the housetops of Moab and in its streetsx Lit all of it is lamentationthere is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like an undesirable vessel,” declares the LORD. 39 “Howy Or dismayedshattered it is! How they have wailed! How Moab has turned his back—he is ashamed! So Moab will become a laughingstock and an object of terror to all around him.”
40 For thus says the LORD:
“Behold, one will fly swiftly like an eagle
And spread out his wings against Moab.
 41 “Kerioth has been captured
And the strongholds have been seized,
So the hearts of the mighty men of Moab in that day
Will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
 42 “Moab will be destroyed from being a people
Because he hasz Or magnified himself againstbecome arrogant toward the LORD.
 43 “Terror, pit and snare are coming upon you,
O inhabitant of Moab,” declares the LORD.
 44 “The one who flees from the terror
Will fall into the pit,
And the one who climbs up out of the pit
Will be caught in the snare;
For I shall bring upon her, even upon Moab,
The year of their punishment,” declares the LORD.
 45 “In the shadow of Heshbon
The fugitives stand without strength;
For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon
And a flame from the midst of Sihon,
And it has devoured the forehead of Moab
And the scalps of theaa Lit sons of tumultriotous revelers.
 46 “Woe to you, Moab!
The people of Chemosh have perished;
For your sons have been taken away captive
And your daughters into captivity.
 47 “Yet I will restore theab Or captivityfortunes of Moab
In theac Lit end of the dayslatter days,” declares the LORD.
Thus far the judgment on Moab.
