Jeremiah 48 ©
1 The judgment of Moab, 7 for presuming upon her wealth, 11 her uninterrupted prosperity, 14 and her strength for war, 26 and for her contempt of God, and insult toward his people. 47 The restoration of Moab.
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
For in the going up of Luhith 4continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
Flee, save your lives, and be like 5the heath in the wilderness.
mCursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD 6deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
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.
The calamity of Moab is unear to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
vTherefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of wKir-heres.
From the cry of Heshbon even unto cElealeh, 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 11desolate.
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, dhim that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
14Kerioth 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.
