Jeremiah 48:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 The LORD God of Israel who rules over all spoke about Moab. "Sure to be judged is Nebo! Indeed, it will be destroyed! Kiriathaim will suffer disgrace. It will be captured! Its fortress will suffer disgrace. It will be torn down!
2 People will not praise Moab any more. The enemy will capture Heshbon and plot how to destroy Moab, saying, 'Come, let's put an end to that nation!' City of Madmen, you will also be destroyed. A destructive army will march against you.
3 Cries of anguish will arise in Horonaim, 'Oh, the ruin and great destruction!'
4 "Moab will be crushed. Her children will cry out in distress.
5 Indeed they will climb the slopes of Luhith, weeping continually as they go. For on the road down to Horonaim they will hear the cries of distress over the destruction.
6 They will hear, 'Run! Save yourselves! Even if you must be like a lonely shrub in the desert!'
7 "Moab, you trust in the things you do and in your riches. So you too will be conquered. Your god Chemosh will go into exile along with his priests and his officials.
8 The destroyer will come against every town. Not one town will escape. The towns in the valley will be destroyed. The cities on the high plain will be laid waste. I, the LORD, have spoken!
9 Set up a gravestone for Moab, for it will certainly be laid in ruins! Its cities will be laid waste and become uninhabited."
10 A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the LORD's work! A curse on anyone who keeps from carrying out his destruction!
11 "From its earliest days Moab has lived undisturbed. It has never been taken into exile. Its people are like wine allowed to settle undisturbed on its dregs, never poured out from one jar to another. They are like wine which tastes like it always did, whose aroma has remained unchanged.
12 But the time is coming when I will send men against Moab who will empty it out. They will empty the towns of their people, then will lay those towns in ruins. I, the LORD, affirm it!
13 The people of Moab will be disappointed by their god Chemosh. They will be as disappointed as the people of Israel were when they put their trust in the calf god at Bethel.
14 How can you men of Moab say, 'We are heroes, men who are mighty in battle?'
15 Moab will be destroyed. Its towns will be invaded. Its finest young men will be slaughtered. I, the King, the LORD who rules over all, affirm it!
16 Moab's destruction is at hand. Disaster will come on it quickly.
17 Mourn for that nation, all you nations living around it, all of you nations that know of its fame. Mourn and say, 'Alas, its powerful influence has been broken! Its glory and power have been done away!'
18 Come down from your place of honor; sit on the dry ground, you who live in Dibon. For the one who will destroy Moab will attack you; he will destroy your fortifications.
19 You who live in Aroer, stand by the road and watch. Question the man who is fleeing and the woman who is escaping. Ask them, 'What has happened?'
20 They will answer, 'Moab is disgraced, for it has fallen! Wail and cry out in mourning! Announce along the Arnon River that Moab has been destroyed.'
21 "Judgment will come on the cities on the high plain: on Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
22 on Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim,
23 on Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon,
24 on Kerioth and Bozrah. It will come on all the towns of Moab, both far and near.
25 Moab's might will be crushed. Its power will be broken. I, the LORD, affirm it!
26 "Moab has vaunted itself against me. So make him drunk with the wine of my wrath until he splashes around in his own vomit, until others treat him as a laughingstock.
27 For did not you people of Moab laugh at the people of Israel? Did you think that they were nothing but thieves, that you shook your head in contempt every time you talked about them?
28 Leave your towns, you inhabitants of Moab. Go and live in the cliffs. Be like a dove that makes its nest high on the sides of a ravine.
29 I have heard how proud the people of Moab are, I know how haughty they are. I have heard how arrogant, proud, and haughty they are, what a high opinion they have of themselves.
30 I, the LORD, affirm that I know how arrogant they are. But their pride is ill-founded. Their boastings will prove to be false.
31 So I will weep with sorrow for Moab. I will cry out in sadness for all of Moab. I will moan for the people of Kir Heres.
32 I will weep for the grapevines of Sibmah just like the town of Jazer weeps over them. Their branches once spread as far as the Dead Sea. They reached as far as the town of Jazer. The destroyer will ravage her fig, date, and grape crops.
33 Joy and gladness will disappear from the fruitful land of Moab. I will stop the flow of wine from the winepresses. No one will stomp on the grapes there and shout for joy. The shouts there will be shouts of soldiers, not the shouts of those making wine.
34 Cries of anguish raised from Heshbon and Elealeh will be sounded as far as Jahaz. They will be sounded from Zoar as far as Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah. For even the waters of Nimrim will be dried up.
35 I will put an end in Moab to those who make offerings at her places of worship. I will put an end to those who sacrifice to other gods. I, the LORD, affirm it!
36 So my heart moans for Moab like a flute playing a funeral song. Yes, like a flute playing a funeral song, my heart moans for the people of Kir Heres. For the wealth they have gained will perish.
37 For all of them will shave their heads in mourning. They will all cut off their beards to show their sorrow. They will all make gashes in their hands. They will all put on sackcloth.
38 On all the housetops in Moab and in all its public squares there will be nothing but mourning. For I will break Moab like an unwanted jar. I, the LORD, affirm it!
39 Oh, how shattered Moab will be! Oh, how her people will wail! Oh, how she will turn away in shame! Moab will become an object of ridicule, a terrifying sight to all the nations that surround her."
40 For the LORD says, "Look! Like an eagle with outspread wings a nation will swoop down on Moab.
41 Her towns will be captured. Her fortresses will be taken. At that time the soldiers of Moab will be frightened like a woman in labor.
42 Moab will be destroyed and no longer be a nation, because she has vaunted herself against the LORD.
43 Terror, pits, and traps are in store for the people who live in Moab. I, the LORD, affirm it!
44 Anyone who flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit. Anyone who climbs out of the pit will be caught in a trap. For the time is coming when I will punish the people of Moab. I, the LORD, affirm it!
45 In the shadows of the walls of Heshbon those trying to escape will stand helpless. For a fire will burst forth from Heshbon. Flames will shoot out from the former territory of Sihon. They will burn the foreheads of the people of Moab, the skulls of those war-loving people.
46 Moab, you are doomed! You people who worship Chemosh will be destroyed. Your sons will be taken away captive. Your daughters will be carried away into exile.
47 Yet in days to come I will reverse Moab's ill fortune." says the LORD. The judgment against Moab ends here.
1 Against Moab H4124 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 the God H430 of Israel; H3478 Woe H1945 unto H413 Nebo H5015 ! for H3588 it is spoiled: H7703 Kiriathaim H7156 is confounded H3001 and taken: H3920 Misgab H4869 is confounded H3001 and dismayed. H2865
2 There shall be no H369 more H5750 praise H8416 of Moab: H4124 in Heshbon H2809 they have devised H2803 evil H7451 against H5921 it; come, H1980 and let us cut it off H3772 from being a nation H4480 H1471 . Also H1571 thou shalt be cut down, H1826 O Madmen; H4086 the sword H2719 shall pursue H1980 H310 thee.
3 A voice H6963 of crying H6818 shall be from Horonaim H4480 H2773 , spoiling H7701 and great H1419 destruction. H7667
4 Moab H4124 is destroyed; H7665 her little ones H6810 have caused a cry H2201 to be heard. H8085
5 For H3588 in the going up H4608 of Luhith H3872 continual weeping H1065 H1065 shall go up; H5927 for H3588 in the going down H4174 of Horonaim H2773 the enemies H6862 have heard H8085 a cry H6818 of destruction. H7667
6 Flee H5127 , save H4422 your lives, H5315 and be H1961 like the heath H6176 in the wilderness. H4057
7 For H3588 because H3282 thou hast trusted H982 in thy works H4639 and in thy treasures, H214 thou H859 shalt also H1571 be taken: H3920 and Chemosh H3645 shall go forth H3318 into captivity H1473 with his priests H3548 and his princes H8269 together. H3162
8 And the spoiler H7703 shall come H935 upon H413 every H3605 city, H5892 and no H3808 city H5892 shall escape: H4422 the valley H6010 also shall perish, H6 and the plain H4334 shall be destroyed, H8045 as H834 the LORD H3068 hath spoken. H559
9 Give H5414 wings H6731 unto Moab, H4124 that H3588 it may flee H5323 and get away: H3318 for the cities H5892 thereof shall be H1961 desolate, H8047 without any H4480 H369 to dwell H3427 therein. H2004
10 Cursed H779 be he that doeth H6213 the work H4399 of the LORD H3068 deceitfully, H7423 and cursed H779 be he that keepeth back H4513 his sword H2719 from blood H4480 H1818 .
11 Moab H4124 hath been at ease H7599 from his youth H4480 H5271 , and he H1931 hath settled H8252 on H413 his lees, H8105 and hath not H3808 been emptied H7324 from vessel H4480 H3627 to H413 vessel, H3627 neither H3808 hath he gone H1980 into captivity: H1473 therefore H5921 H3651 his taste H2940 remained H5975 in him , and his scent H7381 is not H3808 changed. H4171
12 Therefore H3651 , behold, H2009 the days H3117 come, H935 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 that I will send H7971 unto him wanderers, H6808 that shall cause him to wander, H6808 and shall empty H7324 his vessels, H3627 and break H5310 their bottles. H5035
13 And Moab H4124 shall be ashamed H954 of Chemosh H4480 H3645 , as H834 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 was ashamed H954 of Bethel H4480 H1008 their confidence. H4009
14 How H349 say H559 ye, We H587 are mighty H1368 and strong H2428 men H376 for the war H4421 ?
15 Moab H4124 is spoiled, H7703 and gone up H5927 out of her cities, H5892 and his chosen H4005 young men H970 are gone down H3381 to the slaughter, H2874 saith H5002 the King, H4428 whose name H8034 is the LORD H3068 of hosts. H6635
16 The calamity H343 of Moab H4124 is near H7138 to come, H935 and his affliction H7451 hasteth H4116 fast. H3966
17 All H3605 ye that are about H5439 him, bemoan H5110 him ; and all H3605 ye that know H3045 his name, H8034 say, H559 How H349 is the strong H5797 staff H4294 broken, H7665 and the beautiful H8597 rod H4731 !
18 Thou daughter H1323 that dost inhabit H3427 Dibon, H1769 come down H3381 from thy glory H4480 H3519 , and sit H3427 in thirst; H6772 for H3588 the spoiler H7703 of Moab H4124 shall come H5927 upon thee, and he shall destroy H7843 thy strongholds. H4013
19 O inhabitant H3427 of Aroer, H6177 stand H5975 by H413 the way, H1870 and espy; H6822 ask H7592 him that fleeth, H5127 and her that escapeth, H4422 and say, H559 What H4100 is H1961 done?
20 Moab H4124 is confounded; H3001 for H3588 it is broken down: H2865 howl H3213 and cry; H2199 tell H5046 ye it in Arnon, H769 that H3588 Moab H4124 is spoiled, H7703
21 And judgment H4941 is come H935 upon H413 the plain H4334 country; H776 upon H413 Holon, H2473 and upon H413 Jahazah, H3096 and upon H5921 Mephaath, H4158
22 And upon H5921 Dibon, H1769 and upon H5921 Nebo, H5015 and upon H5921 Beth- H1015 diblathaim,
23 And upon H5921 Kiriathaim, H7156 and upon H5921 Beth- H1014 gamul , and upon H5921 Bethmeon, H1010
24 And upon H5921 Kerioth, H7152 and upon H5921 Bozrah, H1224 and upon H5921 all H3605 the cities H5892 of the land H776 of Moab, H4124 far H7350 or near. H7138
25 The horn H7161 of Moab H4124 is cut off, H1438 and his arm H2220 is broken, H7665 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
26 Make ye him drunken: H7937 for H3588 he magnified H1431 himself against H5921 the LORD: H3068 Moab H4124 also shall wallow H5606 in his vomit, H6892 and he H1931 also H1571 shall be H1961 in derision. H7814
27 For H518 was H1961 not H3808 Israel H3478 a derision H7814 unto thee? was he found H4672 among thieves H1590 ? for H3588 since H4480 H1767 thou spakest H1697 of him , thou skippedst for joy. H5110
28 O ye that dwell H3427 in Moab, H4124 leave H5800 the cities, H5892 and dwell H7931 in the rock, H5553 and be H1961 like the dove H3123 that maketh her nest H7077 in the sides H5676 of the hole's H6354 mouth. H6310
29 We have heard H8085 the pride H1347 of Moab, H4124 (he is exceeding H3966 proud H1343 ) his loftiness, H1363 and his arrogance, H1347 and his pride, H1346 and the haughtiness H7312 of his heart. H3820
30 I H589 know H3045 his wrath, H5678 saith H5002 the LORD; H3068 but it shall not H3808 be so; H3651 his lies H907 shall not H3808 so H3651 effect H6213 it .
31 Therefore H5921 H3651 will I howl H3213 for H5921 Moab, H4124 and I will cry out H2199 for all H3605 Moab; H4124 mine heart shall mourn H1897 for H413 the men H376 of Kir- H7025 heres.
32 O vine H1612 of Sibmah, H7643 I will weep H1058 for thee with the weeping H4480 H1065 of Jazer: H3270 thy plants H5189 are gone over H5674 the sea, H3220 they reach H5060 even to H5704 the sea H3220 of Jazer: H3270 the spoiler H7703 is fallen H5307 upon H5921 thy summer fruits H7019 and upon H5921 thy vintage. H1210
33 And joy H8057 and gladness H1524 is taken H622 from the plentiful field H4480 H3759 , and from the land H4480 H776 of Moab; H4124 and I have caused wine H3196 to fail H7673 from the winepresses H4480 H3342 : none H3808 shall tread H1869 with shouting; H1959 their shouting H1959 shall be no H3808 shouting. H1959
34 From the cry H4480 H2201 of Heshbon H2809 even unto H5704 Elealeh, H500 and even unto H5704 Jahaz, H3096 have they uttered H5414 their voice, H6963 from Zoar H4480 H6820 even unto H5704 Horonaim, H2773 as a heifer H5697 of three years old: H7992 for H3588 the waters H4325 also H1571 of Nimrim H5249 shall be H1961 desolate. H4923
35 Moreover I will cause to cease H7673 in Moab, H4124 saith H5002 the LORD, H3068 him that offereth H5927 in the high places, H1116 and him that burneth incense H6999 to his gods. H430
36 Therefore H5921 H3651 mine heart H3820 shall sound H1993 for Moab H4124 like pipes, H2485 and mine heart H3820 shall sound H1993 like pipes H2485 for H413 the men H376 of Kir- H7025 heres: because H5921 H3651 the riches H3502 that he hath gotten H6213 are perished. H6
37 For H3588 every H3605 head H7218 shall be bald, H7144 and every H3605 beard H2206 clipped: H1639 upon H5921 all H3605 the hands H3027 shall be cuttings, H1418 and upon H5921 the loins H4975 sackcloth. H8242
38 There shall be lamentation H4553 generally H3605 upon H5921 all H3605 the housetops H1406 of Moab, H4124 and in the streets H7339 thereof: for H3588 I have broken H7665 H853 Moab H4124 like a vessel H3627 wherein is no H369 pleasure, H2656 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
39 They shall howl, H3213 saying , How H349 is it broken down H2865 ! how H349 hath Moab H4124 turned H6437 the back H6203 with shame H954 ! so shall Moab H4124 be H1961 a derision H7814 and a dismaying H4288 to all H3605 them about H5439 him.
40 For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Behold, H2009 he shall fly H1675 as an eagle, H5404 and shall spread H6566 his wings H3671 over H413 Moab. H4124
41 Kerioth H7152 is taken, H3920 and the strongholds H4679 are surprised, H8610 and the mighty men's H1368 hearts H3820 in Moab H4124 at that H1931 day H3117 shall be H1961 as the heart H3820 of a woman H802 in her pangs. H6887
42 And Moab H4124 shall be destroyed H8045 from being a people H4480 H5971 , because H3588 he hath magnified H1431 himself against H5921 the LORD. H3068
43 Fear H6343 , and the pit, H6354 and the snare, H6341 shall be upon H5921 thee , O inhabitant H3427 of Moab, H4124 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
44 He that fleeth H5211 from H4480 H6440 the fear H6343 shall fall H5307 into H413 the pit; H6354 and he that getteth up H5927 out of H4480 the pit H6354 shall be taken H3920 in the snare: H6341 for H3588 I will bring H935 upon H413 it, even upon H413 Moab, H4124 the year H8141 of their visitation, H6486 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068
45 They that fled H5127 stood H5975 under the shadow H6738 of Heshbon H2809 because of the force H4480 H3581 : but H3588 a fire H784 shall come forth H3318 out of Heshbon H4480 H2809 , and a flame H3852 from the midst H4480 H996 of Sihon, H5511 and shall devour H398 the corner H6285 of Moab, H4124 and the crown of the head H6936 of the tumultuous H7588 ones. H1121
46 Woe H188 be unto thee , O Moab H4124 ! the people H5971 of Chemosh H3645 perisheth: H6 for H3588 thy sons H1121 are taken H3947 captives, H7628 and thy daughters H1323 captives. H7633
47 Yet will I bring again H7725 the captivity H7622 of Moab H4124 in the latter H319 days, H3117 saith H5002 the LORD. H3068 Thus H2008 far H5704 is the judgment H4941 of Moab. H4124
