Judgment Declared Against Moab
Jeremiah 48:1-10
1
Concerning Moab: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo, for it is spoiled, Put to shame, captured hath been Kiriathaim, Put to shame hath been the high tower, Yea, it hath been broken down.
2
There is no more praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised against it evil: Come, and we cut it off from being a nation, Also, O Madmen, thou art cut off, After thee goeth a sword.
3
A voice of a cry is from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
4
Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her little ones.
5
For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Go up doth weeping, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation have heard.
6
Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a wilderness.
7
For, because of thy trusting in thy works, And in thy treasures, even thou art captured, And gone out hath Chemosh in a removal, His priests and his heads together.
8
And come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been the plain, as Jehovah said.
9
Give wings to Moab, for she utterly goeth out, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
10
Cursed is he who is doing the work of Jehovah slothfully, And cursed is he Who is withholding his sword from blood.
