‘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.”
And the strongholds are surprised;
aThe mighty men’s hearts in Moab on that day shall be
Like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.
And he who gets out of the pit shall be caught in the asnare.
For upon Moab, upon it bI will bring
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord.
Because of exhaustion.
But aa fire shall come out of Heshbon,
A flame from the midst of bSihon,
And cshall devour the brow of Moab,
The crown of the head of the sons of tumult.
The people of Chemosh perish;
For your sons have been taken captive,
And your daughters captive.
| << Jeremiah 48:40 | Jeremiah 48:42 >> |
