Jeremías — Capítulo 48

KJVAgainst 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. {Misgab: or, the high place}

KJV{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. {be cut...: or, be brought to silence} {pursue...: Heb. go after thee}

KJVA voice of crying {shall be} from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.

KJVMoab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

KJVFor 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. {continual...: Heb. weeping with weeping}

KJVFlee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. {the heath: or, a naked tree}

KJVFor 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.

KJVAnd 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.

KJVGive wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.

KJVCursed {be} he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed {be} he that keepeth back his sword from blood. {deceitfully: or, negligently}

KJVMoab 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. {remained: Heb. stood}

KJVTherefore, 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.

KJVAnd Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

KJVHow say ye, We {are} mighty and strong men for the war?

KJVMoab 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. {his...: Heb. the choice of}

KJVThe calamity of Moab {is} near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.

KJVAll 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!

KJVThou 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.

KJVO inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, {and} say, What is done? {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}

KJVMoab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,

KJVAnd judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,

KJVAnd upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,

KJVAnd upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,

KJVAnd upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

KJVThe horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.

KJVMake ye him drunken: for he magnified {himself} against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

KJVFor was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy. {skippedst...: or, movedst thyself}

KJVO 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.

KJVWe have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

KJVI know his wrath, saith the LORD; but {it shall} not {be} so; his lies shall not so effect {it}. {his lies...: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}

KJVTherefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; {mine heart} shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.

KJVO 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.

KJVAnd 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.

KJVFrom 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. {desolate: Heb. desolations}

KJVMoreover 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.

KJVTherefore 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.

KJVFor every head {shall be} bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands {shall be} cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. {clipped: Heb. diminished}

KJV{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.

KJVThey 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. {back: Heb. neck}

KJVFor thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

KJVKerioth 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. {Kerioth: or, The cities}

KJVAnd Moab shall be destroyed from {being} a people, because he hath magnified {himself} against the LORD.

KJVFear, and the pit, and the snare, {shall be} upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

KJVHe 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.

KJVThey 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. {tumultuous...: Heb. children of noise}

KJVWoe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives. {captives, and: Heb. in captivity, etc}

KJVYet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far {is} the judgment of Moab.
