Judgment Declared Against Moab
Jeremiah 48:1-10
1
Concerning Moab, thus saith ye Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Woe vnto Nebo: for it is wasted: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and afraide.
2
Moab shall boast no more of Heshbon: for they haue deuised euill against it. Come, and let vs destroy it, that it be no more a nation: also thou shalt be destroyed, O Madmen, and the sworde shall pursue thee.
3
A voyce of crying shall be from Horonaim with desolation and great destruction.
4
Moab is destroyed: her litle ones haue caused their crie to be heard.
5
For at the going vp of Luhith, the mourner shall goe vp with weeping: for in the going downe of Horonaim, the enemies haue heard a cry of destruction,
6
Flee and saue your liues, and be like vnto the heath in the wildernesse.
7
For because thou hast trusted in thy workes and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken, and Chemosh shall goe forth into captiuitie with his Priestes and his princes together.
8
And the destroyer shall come vpon all cities, and no citie shall escape: the valley also shall perish and the plaine shalbe destroyed as the Lord hath spoken.
9
Giue wings vnto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shalbe desolate, without any to dwell therein.
10
Cursed be he that doeth the worke of the Lord negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth backe his sword from blood.
