48:2

There shall be no more praise8416 of Moab:4124 in Heshbon2809 they have devised2803 evil7451 against it; come,3212 and let us cut it off3772 from being a nation.1471 Also thou shalt be cut down,1826 O Madmen;4086 the sword2719 shall pursue3212 thee.

48:6

Flee,5127 save4422 your lives,5315 and be1961 like the heath6176 in the wilderness.4057

48:8

And the spoiler7703 shall come935 upon every city,5892 and no city5892 shall escape:4422 the valley6010 also shall perish,6 and the plain4334 shall be destroyed,8045 as Yahweh3068 hath spoken.559

48:9

Give5414 wings6731 unto Moab,4124 that it may flee5323 and get away:3318 for the cities5892 thereof shall be desolate,8047 without any to dwell3427 therein.2004

48:10

Cursed779 be he that doeth6213 the work4399 of Yahweh3068 deceitfully,7423 and cursed779 be he that keepeth back4513 his sword2719 from blood.1818

Moab4124 hath been at ease7599 from his youth,5271 and he hath settled8252 on his lees,8105 and hath not been emptied7324 from vessel3627 to vessel,3627 neither hath he gone1980 into captivity:1473 therefore his taste2940 remained5975 in him, and his scent7381 is not changed.4171

48:12

Therefore, behold, the days3117 come,935 saith5002 Yahweh,3068 that I will send7971 unto him wanderers,6808 that shall cause him to wander,6808 and shall empty7324 his vessels,3627 and break5310 their bottles.5035

48:13

48:18

Thou daughter1323 that dost inhabit3427 Dibon,1769 come down3381 from thy glory,3519 and sit3427 in thirst;6772 for the spoiler7703 of Moab4124 shall come5927 upon thee, and he shall destroy7843 thy strong holds.4013

48:19

O inhabitant3427 of Aroer,6177 stand5975 by the way,1870 and espy;6822 ask7592 him that fleeth,5127 and her that escapeth,4422 and say,559 What is done?1961

48:20

The horn7161 of Moab4124 is cut off,1438 and his arm2220 is broken,7665 saith5002 Yahweh.3068

48:26

Make ye him drunken:7937 for he magnified1431 himself against Yahweh:3068 Moab4124 also shall wallow5606 in his vomit,6892 and he also shall be in derision.7814

48:27

For was not Israel3478 a derision7814 unto thee? was he found4672 among thieves?1590 for since1767 thou spakest1697 of him, thou skippedst5110 for joy.

O ye that dwell3427 in Moab,4124 leave5800 the cities,5892 and dwell7931 in the rock,5553 and be like the dove3123 that maketh her nest7077 in the sides5676 of the hole's6354 mouth.6310

48:29

We have heard8085 the pride1347 of Moab,4124 (he is exceeding3966 proud)1343 his loftiness,1363 and his arrogancy,1347 and his pride,1346 and the haughtiness7312 of his heart.3820

48:30

I know3045 his wrath,5678 saith5002 Yahweh;3068 but it shall not be so; his lies907 shall not so effect6213 it.

48:31

Therefore will I howl3213 for Moab,4124 and I will cry out2199 for all Moab;4124 mine heart shall mourn1897 for the men582 of Kirheres.7025

48:32

O vine1612 of Sibmah,7643 I will weep1058 for thee with the weeping1065 of Jazer:3270 thy plants5189 are gone over5674 the sea,3220 they reach5060 even to the sea3220 of Jazer:3270 the spoiler7703 is fallen5307 upon thy summer fruits7019 and upon thy vintage.1210

48:33

And joy8057 and gladness1524 is taken622 from the plentiful field,3759 and from the land776 of Moab;4124 and I have caused wine3196 to fail7673 from the winepresses:3342 none shall tread1869 with shouting;1959 their shouting1959 shall be no shouting.1959

48:34

From the cry2201 of Heshbon2809 even unto Elealeh,500 and even unto Jahaz,3096 have they uttered5414 their voice,6963 from Zoar6820 even unto Horonaim,2773 as an heifer5697 of three years old:7992 for the waters4325 also of Nimrim5249 shall be desolate.4923

48:35

Moreover I will cause to cease7673 in Moab,4124 saith5002 Yahweh,3068 him that offereth5927 in the high places,1116 and him that burneth incense6999 to his mighty ones.430

48:36

Therefore mine heart3820 shall sound1993 for Moab4124 like pipes,2485 and mine heart3820 shall sound1993 like pipes2485 for the men582 of Kirheres:7025 because the riches3502 that he hath gotten6213 are perished.6

48:37

For every head7218 shall be bald,7144 and every beard2206 clipped:1639 upon all the hands3027 shall be cuttings,1417 and upon the loins4975 sackcloth.8242

48:38

There shall be lamentation4553 generally upon all the housetops1406 of Moab,4124 and in the streets7339 thereof: for I have broken7665 Moab4124 like a vessel3627 wherein is no pleasure,2656 saith5002 Yahweh.3068

48:39

They shall howl,3213 saying, How is it broken down!2865 how hath Moab4124 turned6437 the back6203 with shame!954 so shall Moab4124 be a derision7814 and a dismaying4288 to all them about5439 him.

48:40

For thus saith559 Yahweh;3068 Behold, he shall fly1675 as an eagle,5404 and shall spread6566 his wings3671 over Moab.4124

Kerioth7152 is taken,3920 and the strong holds4679 are surprised,8610 and the mighty men's1368 hearts3820 in Moab4124 at that day3117 shall be as the heart3820 of a woman802 in her pangs.6887

48:42

And Moab4124 shall be destroyed8045 from being a people,5971 because he hath magnified1431 himself against Yahweh.3068

48:43

Fear,6343 and the pit,6354 and the snare,6341 shall be upon thee, O inhabitant3427 of Moab,4124 saith5002 Yahweh.3068

48:44

He that fleeth5127 from6440 the fear6343 shall fall5307 into the pit;6354 and he that getteth up5927 out of the pit6354 shall be taken3920 in the snare:6341 for I will bring935 upon it, even upon Moab,4124 the year8141 of their visitation,6486 saith5002 Yahweh.3068

48:45

They that fled5127 stood5975 under the shadow6738 of Heshbon2809 because of the force:3581 but a fire784 shall come forth3318 out of Heshbon,2809 and a flame3852 from the midst996 of Sihon,5511 and shall devour398 the corner6285 of Moab,4124 and the crown of the head6936 of the tumultuous7588 ones.1121

48:46

Woe188 be unto thee, O Moab!4124 the people5971 of Chemosh3645 perisheth:6 for thy sons1121 are taken3947 captives,7628 and thy daughters1323 captives.7633

48:47

Yet will I bring again7725 the captivity7622 of Moab4124 in the latter319 days,3117 saith5002 Yahweh.3068 Thus far2008 is the judgment4941 of Moab.4124
