As the house of Israel bwas ashamed of cBethel, their confidence.
Her chosen young men have agone down to the slaughter,” says bthe King,
Whose name is the Lord of hosts.
And all you who know his name,
Say, a‘How the strong staff is broken,
The beautiful rod!’
Come down from your glory,
And sit in thirst;
For the plunderer of Moab has come against you,
He has destroyed your strongholds.
bStand by the way and watch;
Ask him who flees
And her who escapes;
Say, ‘What has happened?’
| << Jeremiah 48:14 | Jeremiah 48:16 >> |
