Judgment on Moab
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 48
|
|
1. Against Moab.
|
|
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
|
|
"Woe to Nebo!
|
|
For it is plundered,
|
|
Kirjathaim is shamed and taken;
|
|
The high stronghold is shamed and dismayed--
|
|
|
|
2. No more praise of Moab.
|
|
In Heshbon they have devised evil against her:
|
|
'Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.'
|
|
You also shall be cut down, O Madmen!
|
|
The sword shall pursue you;
|
|
|
|
3. A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim:
|
|
'Plundering and great destruction!'
|
|
|
|
4. "Moab is destroyed;
|
|
Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard;
|
|
|
|
5. For in the Ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping;
|
|
For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
|
|
|
|
6. "Flee, save your lives!
|
|
And be like the juniper in the wilderness.
|
|
|
|
7. For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures,
|
|
You also shall be taken.
|
|
And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity,
|
|
His priests and his princes together.
|
|
|
|
8. And the plunderer shall come against every city;
|
|
No one shall escape.
|
|
The valley also shall perish,
|
|
And the plain shall be destroyed,
|
|
As the Lord has spoken.
|
|
|
|
9. "Give wings to Moab,
|
|
That she may flee and get away;
|
|
For her cities shall be desolate,
|
|
Without any to dwell in them.
|
|
|
|
10. Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully,
|
|
And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
|
|
|
|
11. "Moab has been at ease from his youth;
|
|
He has settled on his dregs,
|
|
And has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
|
|
Nor has he gone into captivity.
|
|
Therefore his taste remained in him,
|
|
And his scent has not changed.
|
|
|
|
12. "Therefore behold, the days are coming," says the Lord,
|
|
"That I shall send him wine-workers
|
|
Who will tip him over
|
|
And empty his vessels
|
|
And break the bottles.
|
|
|
|
13. Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh,
|
|
As the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
|
|
|
|
14. "How can you say, 'We are mighty
|
|
And strong men for the war'?
|
|
|
|
15. Moab is plundered and gone up from her cities;
|
|
Her chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter," says the King,
|
|
Whose name is the Lord of hosts.
|
|
|
|
16. "The calamity of Moab is near at hand,
|
|
And his affliction comes quickly.
|
|
|
|
17. Bemoan him, all you who are around him;
|
|
And all you who know his name,
|
|
Say, 'How the strong staff is broken,
|
|
The beautiful rod!'
|
|
|
|
18. "O daughter inhabiting Dibon,
|
|
Come down from your glory,
|
|
And sit in thirst;
|
|
For the plunderer of Moab has come against you,
|
|
He has destroyed your strongholds.
|
|
|
|
19. O inhabitant of Aroer,
|
|
Stand by the way and watch;
|
|
Ask him who flees
|
|
And her who escapes;
|
|
Say, 'What has happened?'
|
|
|
|
20. Moab is shamed, for he is broken down.
|
|
Wail and cry!
|
|
Tell it in Arnon, that Moab is plundered.
|
|
|
|
21. "And judgment has come on the plain country:
|
|
On Holon and Jahzah and Mephaath,
|
|
|
|
22. On Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim,
|
|
|
|
23. On Kirjathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,
|
|
|
|
24. On Kerioth and Bozrah,
|
|
On all the cities of the land of Moab,
|
|
Far or near.
|
|
|
|
25. The horn of Moab is cut off,
|
|
And his arm is broken," says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
26. "Make him drunk,
|
|
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.
|
|
Moab shall wallow in his vomit,
|
|
And he shall also be in derision.
|
|
|
|
27. For was not Israel a derision to you?
|
|
Was he found among thieves?
|
|
For whenever you speak of him,
|
|
You shake your head in scorn.
|
|
|
|
28. You who dwell in Moab,
|
|
Leave the cities and dwell in the rock,
|
|
And be like the dove which makes her nest
|
|
In the sides of the cave's mouth.
|
|
|
|
29. "We have heard the pride of Moab
|
|
(He is exceedingly proud),
|
|
Of his loftiness and arrogance and pride,
|
|
And of the haughtiness of his heart."
|
|
|
|
30. "I know his wrath," says the Lord,
|
|
"But it is not right;
|
|
His lies have made nothing right.
|
|
|
|
31. Therefore I will wail for Moab,
|
|
And I will cry out for all Moab;
|
|
I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
|
|
|
|
32. O vine of Sibmah! I will weep for you with the weeping of Jazer.
|
|
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. Joy and gladness are taken
|
|
From the plentiful field
|
|
And from the land of Moab;
|
|
I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses;
|
|
No one will tread with joyous shouting--
|
|
Not joyous shouting!
|
|
|
|
34. "From the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh and to Jahaz
|
|
They have uttered their voice,
|
|
From Zoar to Horonaim,
|
|
Like 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
|
|
The one who offers sacrifices in the high places
|
|
And burns incense to his gods.
|
|
|
|
36. Therefore My heart shall wail like flutes for Moab,
|
|
And like flutes My heart shall wail
|
|
For the men of Kir Heres.
|
|
Therefore the riches they have acquired have perished.
|
|
|
|
37. "For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped;
|
|
On all the hands shall be cuts, and on the loins sackcloth--
|
|
|
|
38. A general lamentation
|
|
On all the housetops of Moab,
|
|
And in its streets;
|
|
For I have broken 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, one shall fly like an eagle,
|
|
And spread his wings over Moab.
|
|
|
|
41. Kerioth is taken,
|
|
And the strongholds are surprised;
|
|
The 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 as a people,
|
|
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.
|
|
|
|
43. Fear 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 snare.
|
|
For upon Moab, upon it I will bring
|
|
The year of their punishment," says the Lord.
|
|
|
|
45. "Those who fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon
|
|
Because of exhaustion.
|
|
But a fire shall come out of Heshbon,
|
|
A flame from the midst of Sihon,
|
|
And shall devour the brow of Moab,
|
|
The crown of the head of the sons of tumult.
|
|
|
|
46. Woe 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
|
|
In the latter days," says the Lord.
|
|
Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
