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.
