“I will cause to cease in Moab
aThe one who offers sacrifices in the1 high places
And burns incense to his gods.
And like flutes My heart shall wail
For the men of Kir Heres.
Therefore bthe riches they have acquired have perished.
On all the hands shall be cuts, and bon the loins sackcloth—
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.
‘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.”
| << Jeremiah 48:36 | Jeremiah 48:38 >> |
