Jeremiah 48:31
Compare all
29 “We have heard the apride of Moab
(He is exceedingly proud),
Of his loftiness and arrogance and bpride,
And of the haughtiness of his heart.” 
30 “I know his1 wrath,” says the Lord,
“But it is not right;
aHis lies have made nothing right. 
31 Therefore aI will wail for Moab,
And I will cry out for all Moab;
1I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres. 
32 aO vine of Sibmah! I will weep for you with the weeping of bJazer.
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. 
33 aJoy and gladness are taken
From the plentiful field
And from the land of Moab;
I have caused wine to1 fail from the winepresses;
No one will tread with joyous shouting—
Not joyous shouting! 
34 “Froma the cry of Heshbon to bElealeh and to Jahaz
They have uttered their voice,
cFrom Zoar to Horonaim,
Like1 a three-year-old heifer;
For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate. 
35 “Moreover,” says the Lord,
“I will cause to cease in Moab
aThe one who offers sacrifices in the1 high places
And burns incense to his gods. 
36 Therefore aMy heart shall wail like flutes for Moab,
And like flutes My heart shall wail
For the men of Kir Heres.
Therefore bthe riches they have acquired have perished. 
37 “For aevery head shall be bald, and every beard clipped;
On all the hands shall be cuts, and bon the loins sackcloth— 
38 A general lamentation
On all the ahousetops of Moab,
And in its streets;
For I have bbroken Moab like a vessel in which is no pleasure,” says the Lord. 
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.”
40 For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, aone shall fly like an eagle,
And bspread his wings over Moab. 
41 Kerioth is taken,
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. 
42 And Moab shall be destroyed aas a people,
Because he exalted himself against the Lord. 
43 aFear and the pit and the snare shall be upon you,
O inhabitant of Moab,” says the Lord. 
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 asnare.
For upon Moab, upon it bI will bring
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord. 
45 “Those who fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon
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. 
46 aWoe to you, O Moab!
The people of Chemosh perish;
For your sons have been taken captive,
And your daughters captive. 
47 “Yet I will bring back the captives of Moab
aIn the latter days,” says the Lord. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
