Judgment on Moab

48Against Moab. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Woe to Nebo! For it is plundered, Kirjathaim is shamed and taken; The high stronghold is shamed and dismayed—H4124H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1945H5015H7703H7156H3001H3920H4869H3001H2865 2No more praise of Moab. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: 'Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.' You also shall be cut down, O Madmen! The sword shall pursue you;H8416H4124H2809H2803H7451H3212H3772H1471H1826H4086H2719H3212H310 3A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim: 'Plundering and great destruction!'H6963H6818H2773H7701H1419H7667 4"Moab is destroyed; Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard;H4124H7665H6810H2201H8085 5For in the Ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping; For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.H4608H3872H1065H1065H5927H4174H2773H6862H8085H6818H7667 6"Flee, save your lives! And be like the juniper in the wilderness.H5127H4422H5315H1961H6176H4057 7For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures, You also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, His priests and his princes together.H982H4639H214H3920H3645H3318H1473H3548H8269H3162 8And the plunderer shall come against every city; No one shall escape. The valley also shall perish, And the plain shall be destroyed, As the LORD has spoken.H7703H935H5892H5892H4422H6010H6H4334H8045H3068H559 9"Give wings to Moab, That she may flee and get away; For her cities shall be desolate, Without any to dwell in them.H5414H6731H4124H5323H3318H5892H8047H3427H2004 10Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD deceitfully, And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.H779H6213H4399H3068H7423H779H4513H2719H1818 11"Moab has been at ease from his youth; He has settled on his dregs, And has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, Nor has he gone into captivity. Therefore his taste remained in him, And his scent has not changed.H4124H7599H5271H8252H8105H7324H3627H3627H1980H1473H2940H5975H7381H4171 12"Therefore behold, the days are coming," says the LORD, "That I shall send him wine-workers Who will tip him over And empty his vessels And break the bottles.H3117H935H5002H3068H7971H6808H6808H7324H3627H5310H5035 13Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, As the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.H4124H954H3645H1004H3478H954H1008H4009 14"How can you say, 'We are mighty And strong men for the war'?H559H1368H2428H582H4421 15Moab is plundered and gone up from her cities; Her chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter," says the King, Whose name is the LORD of hosts.H4124H7703H5927H5892H4005H970H3381H2874H5002H4428H8034H3068H6635 16"The calamity of Moab is near at hand, And his affliction comes quickly.H343H4124H7138H935H7451H4116H3966 17Bemoan him, all you who are around him; And all you who know his name, Say, 'How the strong staff is broken, The beautiful rod!'H5439H5110H3045H8034H559H5797H4294H7665H8597H4731 18"O daughter inhabiting Dibon, Come down from your glory, And sit in thirst; For the plunderer of Moab has come against you, He has destroyed your strongholds.H1323H3427H1769H3381H3519H3427H6772H7703H4124H5927H7843H4013 19O inhabitant of Aroer, Stand by the way and watch; Ask him who flees And her who escapes; Say, 'What has happened?'H3427H6177H5975H1870H6822H7592H5127H4422H559H1961 20Moab is shamed, for he is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it in Arnon, that Moab is plundered.H4124H3001H2865H3213H2199H5046H769H4124H7703 21"And judgment has come on the plain country: On Holon and Jahzah and Mephaath,H4941H935H4334H776H2473H3096H4158 22On Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim,H1769H5015H1015 23On Kirjathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,H7156H1014H1010 24On Kerioth and Bozrah, On all the cities of the land of Moab, Far or near.H7152H1224H5892H776H4124H7350H7138 25The horn of Moab is cut off, And his arm is broken," says the LORD.H7161H4124H1438H2220H7665H5002H3068 26"Make him drunk, Because he exalted himself against the LORD. Moab shall wallow in his vomit, And he shall also be in derision.H7937H1431H3068H4124H5606H6892H7814 27For was not Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him, You shake your head in scorn.H3478H7814H4672H1590H1767H1697H5110 28You who dwell in Moab, Leave the cities and dwell in the rock, And be like the dove which makes her nest In the sides of the cave's mouth.H3427H4124H5800H5892H7931H5553H3123H7077H5676H6354H6310 29"We have heard the pride of Moab (He is exceedingly proud), Of his loftiness and arrogance and pride, And of the haughtiness of his heart."H8085H1347H4124H3966H1343H1363H1346H1347H7312H3820 30"I know his wrath," says the LORD, "But it is not right; His lies have made nothing right.H3045H5678H5002H3068H907H6213 31Therefore I will wail for Moab, And I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.H3213H4124H2199H4124H1897H582H7025 32O vine of Sibmah! I will weep for you with the weeping of Jazer. Your plants have gone over the sea, They reach to the sea of Jazer. The plunderer has fallen on your summer fruit and your vintage.H1612H7643H1058H1065H3270H5189H5674H3220H5060H3220H3270H7703H5307H7019H1210 33Joy and gladness are taken From the plentiful field And from the land of Moab; I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses; No one will tread with joyous shouting—Not joyous shouting!H8057H1524H622H3759H776H4124H3196H7673H3342H1869H1959H1959H1959 34"From the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh and to Jahaz They have uttered their voice, From Zoar to Horonaim, Like a three-year-old heifer; For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.H2201H2809H500H3096H5414H6963H6820H2773H5697H7992H4325H5249H4923 35"Moreover," says the LORD, "I will cause to cease in Moab The one who offers sacrifices in the high places And burns incense to his gods.H7673H4124H5002H3068H5927H1116H6999H430 36Therefore My heart shall wail like flutes for Moab, And like flutes My heart shall wail For the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the riches they have acquired have perished.H3820H1993H4124H2485H3820H1993H2485H582H7025H3502H6213H6 37"For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped; On all the hands shall be cuts, and on the loins sackcloth—H7218H7144H2206H1639H3027H1417H4975H8242 38A general lamentation On all the housetops of Moab, And in its streets; For I have broken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure," says the LORD.H4553H1406H4124H7339H7665H4124H3627H2656H5002H3068 39"They shall wail: 'How she is broken down! How Moab has turned her back with shame!' So Moab shall be a derision And a dismay to all those about her."H3213H2865H4124H6437H6203H954H4124H7814H4288H5439 40For thus says the LORD: "Behold, one shall fly like an eagle, And spread his wings over Moab.H559H3068H1675H5404H6566H3671H4124 41Kerioth is taken, And the strongholds are surprised; The mighty men's hearts in Moab on that day shall be Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.H7152H3920H4679H8610H1368H3820H4124H3117H3820H802H6887 42And Moab shall be destroyed as a people, Because he exalted himself against the LORD.H4124H8045H5971H1431H3068 43Fear and the pit and the snare shall be upon you, O inhabitant of Moab," says the LORD.H6343H6354H6341H3427H4124H5002H3068 44"He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit, And he who gets out of the pit shall be caught in the snare. For upon Moab, upon it I will bring The year of their punishment," says the LORD.H5127H5211H6440H6343H5307H6354H5927H6354H3920H6341H935H4124H8141H6486H5002H3068 45"Those who fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon Because of exhaustion. But a fire shall come out of Heshbon, A flame from the midst of Sihon, And shall devour the brow of Moab, The crown of the head of the sons of tumult.H5127H5975H6738H2809H3581H784H3318H2809H3852H996H5511H398H6285H4124H6936H7588H1121 46Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh perish; For your sons have been taken captive, And your daughters captive.H188H4124H5971H3645H6H1121H3947H7628H1323H7633 47"Yet I will bring back the captives of Moab In the latter days," says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.H7725H7622H4124H319H3117H5002H3068H2008H4941H4124
