48:1 Against Moab 4124 thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635, the God 430 of Israel 3478; Woe 1945 unto Nebo 5015! for it is spoiled 7703 8795: Kiriathaim 7156 is confounded 3001 8689 [and] taken 3920 8738: Misgab 4869 is confounded 3001 8689 and dismayed 2865 8804.(Misgab: or, the high place)

48:2 [There shall be] no more praise 8416 of Moab 4124: in Heshbon 2809 they have devised 2803 8804 evil 7451 against it; come 3212 8798, and let us cut it off 3772 8686 from [being] a nation 1471. Also thou shalt be cut down 1826 8735, O Madmen 4086; the sword 2719 shall pursue 3212 8799 thee 310.(be cut…: or, be brought to silence)(pursue…: Heb. go after thee)

48:3 A voice 6963 of crying 6818 [shall be] from Horonaim 2773, spoiling 7701 and great 1419 destruction 7667.

48:4 Moab 4124 is destroyed 7665 8738; her little ones 6810 have caused a cry 2201 to be heard 8085 8689.

48:5 For in the going up 4608 of Luhith 3872 continual 1065 weeping 1065 shall go up 5927 8799; for in the going down 4174 of Horonaim 2773 the enemies 6862 have heard 8085 8804 a cry 6818 of destruction 7667.(continual…: Heb. weeping with weeping)

48:6 Flee 5127 8798, save 4422 8761 your lives 5315, and be 1961 8799 like the heath 6176 in the wilderness 4057.(the heath: or, a naked tree)

48:7 For because thou hast trusted 982 8800 in thy works 4639 and in thy treasures 214, thou shalt also be taken 3920 8735: and Chemosh 3645 shall go forth 3318 8804 into captivity 1473 [with] his priests 3548 and his princes 8269 together 3162.

48:8 And the spoiler 7703 8802 shall come 935 8799 upon every city 5892, and no city 5892 shall escape 4422 8735: the valley 6010 also shall perish 6 8804, and the plain 4334 shall be destroyed 8045 8738, as the LORD 3068 hath spoken 559 8804.

48:9 Give 5414 8798 wings 6731 unto Moab 4124, that it may flee 5323 8800 and get away 3318 8799: for the cities 5892 thereof shall be desolate 8047, without any to dwell 3427 8802 therein 2004.

48:10 Cursed 779 8803 [be] he that doeth 6213 8802 the work 4399 of the LORD 3068 deceitfully 7423, and cursed 779 8803 [be] he that keepeth back 4513 8802 his sword 2719 from blood 1818.(deceitfully: or, negligently)

48:11 Moab 4124 hath been at ease 7599 8768 from his youth 5271, and he hath settled 8252 8802 on his lees 8105, and hath not been emptied 7324 8717 from vessel 3627 to vessel 3627, neither hath he gone 1980 8804 into captivity 1473: therefore his taste 2940 remained 5975 8804 in him, and his scent 7381 is not changed 4171 8738.(remained: Heb. stood)

48:12 Therefore, behold, the days 3117 come 935 8802, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, that I will send 7971 8765 unto him wanderers 6808 8802, that shall cause him to wander 6808 8765, and shall empty 7324 8686 his vessels 3627, and break 5310 8762 their bottles 5035.

48:13 And Moab 4124 shall be ashamed 954 8804 of Chemosh 3645, as the house 1004 of Israel 3478 was ashamed 954 8804 of Bethel 1008 their confidence 4009.

48:14 How say 559 8799 ye, We [are] mighty 1368 and strong 2428 men 582 for the war 4421?

48:15 Moab 4124 is spoiled 7703 8795, and gone up 5927 8804 [out of] her cities 5892, and his chosen 4005 young men 970 are gone down 3381 8804 to the slaughter 2874, saith 5002 8803 the King 4428, whose name 8034 [is] the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.(his…: Heb. the choice of)

48:16 The calamity 343 of Moab 4124 [is] near 7138 to come 935 8800, and his affliction 7451 hasteth 4116 8765 fast 3966.

48:17 All ye that are about 5439 him, bemoan 5110 8798 him; and all ye that know 3045 8802 his name 8034, say 559 8798, How is the strong 5797 staff 4294 broken 7665 8738, [and] the beautiful 8597 rod 4731!

48:18 Thou daughter 1323 that dost inhabit 3427 8802 Dibon 1769, come down 3381 8798 from [thy] glory 3519, and sit 3427 8798 in thirst 6772; for the spoiler 7703 8802 of Moab 4124 shall come 5927 8804 upon thee, [and] he shall destroy 7843 8765 thy strong holds 4013.

48:19 O inhabitant 3427 8802 of Aroer 6177, stand 5975 8798 by the way 1870, and espy 6822 8761; ask 7592 8798 him that fleeth 5127 8801, and her that escapeth 4422 8737, [and] say 559 8798, What is done 1961 8738?(inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress)

48:20 Moab 4124 is confounded 3001 8689; for it is broken down 2865 8804: howl 3213 8685 and cry 2199 8798; tell 5046 8685 ye it in Arnon 769, that Moab 4124 is spoiled 7703 8795,

48:21 And judgment 4941 is come 935 8804 upon the plain 4334 country 776; upon Holon 2473, and upon Jahazah 3096, and upon Mephaath 4158,

48:22 And upon Dibon 1769, and upon Nebo 5015, and upon Bethdiblathaim 1015,

48:23 And upon Kiriathaim 7156, and upon Bethgamul 1014, and upon Bethmeon 1010,

48:24 And upon Kerioth 7152, and upon Bozrah 1224, and upon all the cities 5892 of the land 776 of Moab 4124, far 7350 or near 7138.

48:25 The horn 7161 of Moab 4124 is cut off 1438 8738, and his arm 2220 is broken 7665 8738, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

48:26 Make ye him drunken 7937 8685: for he magnified 1431 8689 [himself] against the LORD 3068: Moab 4124 also shall wallow 5606 8804 in his vomit 6892, and he also shall be in derision 7814.

48:27 For was not Israel 3478 a derision 7814 unto thee? was he found 4672 8738 among thieves 1590? for since 1767 thou spakest 1697 of him, thou skippedst 5110 8709 for joy.(skippedst…: or, movedst thyself)

48:28 O ye that dwell 3427 8802 in Moab 4124, leave 5800 8798 the cities 5892, and dwell 7931 8798 in the rock 5553, and be like the dove 3123 [that] maketh her nest 7077 8762 in the sides 5676 of the hole's 6354 mouth 6310.

48:29 We have heard 8085 8804 the pride 1347 of Moab 4124, (he is exceeding 3966 proud 1343) his loftiness 1363, and his arrogancy 1346, and his pride 1347, and the haughtiness 7312 of his heart 3820.

48:30 I know 3045 8804 his wrath 5678, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068; but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies 907 shall not so effect 6213 8804 [it].(his lies…: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right)

48:31 Therefore will I howl 3213 8686 for Moab 4124, and I will cry out 2199 8799 for all Moab 4124; [mine heart] shall mourn 1897 8799 for the men 582 of Kirheres 7025.

48:32 O vine 1612 of Sibmah 7643, I will weep 1058 8799 for thee with the weeping 1065 of Jazer 3270: thy plants 5189 are gone over 5674 8804 the sea 3220, they reach 5060 8804 [even] to the sea 3220 of Jazer 3270: the spoiler 7703 8802 is fallen 5307 8804 upon thy summer fruits 7019 and upon thy vintage 1210.

48:33 And joy 8057 and gladness 1524 is taken 622 8738 from the plentiful field 3759, and from the land 776 of Moab 4124; and I have caused wine 3196 to fail 7673 8689 from the winepresses 3342: none shall tread 1869 8799 with shouting 1959; [their] shouting 1959 [shall be] no shouting 1959.

48:34 From the cry 2201 of Heshbon 2809 [even] unto Elealeh 500, [and even] unto Jahaz 3096, have they uttered 5414 8804 their voice 6963, from Zoar 6820 [even] unto Horonaim 2773, [as] an heifer 5697 of three years old 7992: for the waters 4325 also of Nimrim 5249 shall be desolate 4923.(desolate: Heb. desolations)

48:35 Moreover I will cause to cease 7673 8689 in Moab 4124, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068, him that offereth 5927 8688 in the high places 1116, and him that burneth incense 6999 8688 to his gods 430.

48:36 Therefore mine heart 3820 shall sound 1993 8799 for Moab 4124 like pipes 2485, and mine heart 3820 shall sound 1993 8799 like pipes 2485 for the men 582 of Kirheres 7025: because the riches 3502 [that] he hath gotten 6213 8804 are perished 6 8804.

48:37 For every head 7218 [shall be] bald 7144, and every beard 2206 clipped 1639 8803: upon all the hands 3027 [shall be] cuttings 1417, and upon the loins 4975 sackcloth 8242.(clipped: Heb. diminished)

48:38 [There shall be] lamentation 4553 generally upon all the housetops 1406 of Moab 4124, and in the streets 7339 thereof: for I have broken 7665 8804 Moab 4124 like a vessel 3627 wherein [is] no pleasure 2656, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

48:39 They shall howl 3213 8685, [saying], How is it broken down 2865 8804! how hath Moab 4124 turned 6437 8689 the back 6203 with shame 954 8804! so shall Moab 4124 be a derision 7814 and a dismaying 4288 to all them about 5439 him.(back: Heb. neck)

48:40 For thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Behold, he shall fly 1675 8799 as an eagle 5404, and shall spread 6566 8804 his wings 3671 over Moab 4124.

48:41 Kerioth 7152 is taken 3920 8738, and the strong holds 4679 are surprised 8610 8738, and the mighty men's 1368 hearts 3820 in Moab 4124 at that day 3117 shall be as the heart 3820 of a woman 802 in her pangs 6887 8688.(Kerioth: or, The cities)

48:42 And Moab 4124 shall be destroyed 8045 8738 from [being] a people 5971, because he hath magnified 1431 8689 [himself] against the LORD 3068.

48:43 Fear 6343, and the pit 6354, and the snare 6341, [shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant 3427 8802 of Moab 4124, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

48:44 He that fleeth 5127 8801 8675 5211 from 6440 the fear 6343 shall fall 5307 8799 into the pit 6354; and he that getteth up 5927 8802 out of the pit 6354 shall be taken 3920 8735 in the snare 6341: for I will bring 935 8686 upon it, [even] upon Moab 4124, the year 8141 of their visitation 6486, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068.

48:45 They that fled 5127 8801 stood 5975 8804 under the shadow 6738 of Heshbon 2809 because of the force 3581: but a fire 784 shall come forth 3318 8804 out of Heshbon 2809, and a flame 3852 from the midst 996 of Sihon 5511, and shall devour 398 8799 the corner 6285 of Moab 4124, and the crown of the head 6936 of the tumultuous 7588 ones 1121.(tumultuous…: Heb. children of noise)

48:46 Woe 188 be unto thee, O Moab 4124! the people 5971 of Chemosh 3645 perisheth 6 8804: for thy sons 1121 are taken 3947 8795 captives 7628, and thy daughters 1323 captives 7633.(captives, and: Heb. in captivity, etc)

48:47 Yet will I bring again 7725 8804 the captivity 7622 of Moab 4124 in the latter 319 days 3117, saith 5002 8803 the LORD 3068. Thus far 2008 [is] the judgment 4941 of Moab 4124.
