(Jer 48:1) Against Moab thus saith 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.
(Jer 48:2) {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 thou shalt be cut down, O madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
(Jer 48:3) A voice of crying {shall be} from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.
(Jer 48:4) Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
(Jer 48:5) 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.
(Jer 48:6) Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.
(Jer 48:7) For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity {with} his priests and his princes together.
(Jer 48:8) 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 hath spoken.
(Jer 48:9) Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
(Jer 48:10) Cursed {be} he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed {be} he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
(Jer 48:11) Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
(Jer 48:12) Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
(Jer 48:13) And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
(Jer 48:14) How say ye, We {are} mighty and strong men for the war?
(Jer 48:15) Moab is spoiled, and gone up {out of} her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name {is} the Lord of hosts.
(Jer 48:16) The calamity of Moab {is} near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
(Jer 48:17) All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, {and} the beautiful rod!
(Jer 48:18) Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from {thy} glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, {and} he shall destroy thy strong holds.
(Jer 48:19) O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, {and} say, What is done?
(Jer 48:20) Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
(Jer 48:21) And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
(Jer 48:22) And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,
(Jer 48:23) And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,
(Jer 48:24) And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
(Jer 48:25) The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord.
(Jer 48:26) Make ye him drunken: for he magnified {himself} against the Lord: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
(Jer 48:27) For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
(Jer 48:28) O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove {that} maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.
(Jer 48:29) 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.
(Jer 48:30) I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but {it shall} not {be} so; his lies shall not so effect {it}.
(Jer 48:31) Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; {mine heart} shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
(Jer 48:32) O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach {even} to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
(Jer 48:33) 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.
(Jer 48:34) 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.
(Jer 48:35) Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
(Jer 48:36) 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 hath gotten are perished.
(Jer 48:37) For every head {shall be} bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands {shall be} cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
(Jer 48:38) {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, saith the Lord.
(Jer 48:39) They shall howl, {saying}, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
(Jer 48:40) For thus saith the Lord; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.
(Jer 48:41) 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.
(Jer 48:42) And Moab shall be destroyed from {being} a people, because he hath magnified {himself} against the Lord.
(Jer 48:43) Fear, and the pit, and the snare, {shall be} upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
(Jer 48:44) He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth 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, saith the Lord.
(Jer 48:45) 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.
(Jer 48:46) Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
(Jer 48:47) Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the Lord. Thus far {is} the judgment of Moab.
