Jeremiah 48:16-30
-
16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
-
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!
-
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.
-
19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?
-
20 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
-
21 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
-
22 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,
-
23 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,
-
24 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
-
25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.
-
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.
-
27 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
-
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.
-
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.
-
30 I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
