Jeremiah 48:14-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 48
14
How can you say, ‘We are warriors,
And men competent for battle’?
15
Moab has been destroyed and men have gone up to his cities;
His choicest young men have also gone down to the slaughter,'
Declares the King, whose name is the
Lord
of armies.
16
'The disaster of Moab will soon come,
And his catastrophe has hurried quickly.
17
Mourn for him, all you who
live
around him,
And all of you who know his name;
Say, ‘How the mighty scepter has been broken,
A staff of splendor!’
18
Come down from your glory
And sit on the parched ground,
O daughter living in Dibon,
For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you,
He has ruined your strongholds.
19
Stand by the road and keep watch,
You inhabitant of Aroer;
Ask him who flees and her who escapes
And
say, ‘What has happened?’
20
Moab has been put to shame, for it has been shattered.
Wail and cry out;
Declare by the Arnon
That Moab has been destroyed.
21
Judgment has also come upon the plain, upon Holon, Jahzah, and against Mephaath,
22
against Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
23
against Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
24
against Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.
25
The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm broken,' declares the
Lord
.
26
Make him drunk, for he has become arrogant toward the
Lord
; so Moab will vomit, and he also will become a laughingstock.
27
Now was Israel not a laughingstock to you? Or was he caught among thieves? For whenever you speak about him you shake
your head in scorn.
28
Leave the cities and live among the rocky cliffs,
You inhabitants of Moab,
And be like a dove that nests
Beyond the mouth of the chasm.
King James Version
Chapter 48
14
How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
15
Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the
Lord
of hosts.
16
The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
17
All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!
18
Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.
19
O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?
20
Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
21
And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
22
And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,
23
And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,
24
And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the
Lord
.
26
Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the
Lord
: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27
For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.
28
O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 48
14
How can you say, "We are warriors—
valiant men for battle"?
15
The destroyer of Moab and its towns
has come up,
and the best of its young men
have gone down to slaughter. This is the King’s declaration; the
Lord
of Armies is his name.
16
Moab’s calamity is near at hand;
his disaster is rushing swiftly.
17
Mourn for him, all you surrounding nations,
everyone who knows his name.
Say, "How the mighty scepter is shattered,
the glorious staff!"
18
Come down from glory; sit on parched ground,
resident of the daughter of Dibon,
for the destroyer of Moab has come against you;
he has destroyed your fortresses.
19
Stand by the highway and watch,
resident of Aroer!
Ask him who is fleeing or her who is escaping,
"What happened?"
20
Moab is put to shame, indeed dismayed.
Wail and cry out!
Declare by the Arnon
that Moab is destroyed.
21
"Judgment has come to the land of the plateau —to Holon, Jahzah, Mephaath,
22
Dibon, Nebo, Beth-diblathaim,
23
Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, Beth-meon,
24
Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of the land of Moab, those far and near.
25
Moab’s horn is chopped off; his arm is shattered." This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
26
"Make him drunk, because he has exalted himself against the
Lord
. Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.
27
Wasn’t Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head."
28
Abandon the towns! Live in the cliffs,
residents of Moab!
Be like a dove
that nests inside the mouth of a cave.
New Living Translation
Chapter 48
14
'You used to boast, ‘We are heroes,
mighty men of war.’
15
But now Moab and his towns will be destroyed.
His most promising youth are doomed to slaughter,'
says the King, whose name is the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies.
16
'Destruction is coming fast for Moab;
calamity threatens ominously.
17
You friends of Moab,
weep for him and cry!
See how the strong scepter is broken,
how the beautiful staff is shattered!
18
'Come down from your glory
and sit in the dust, you people of Dibon,
for those who destroy Moab will shatter Dibon, too.
They will tear down all your towers.
19
You people of Aroer,
stand beside the road and watch.
Shout to those who flee from Moab,
‘What has happened there?’
20
'And the reply comes back,
‘Moab lies in ruins, disgraced;
weep and wail!
Tell it by the banks of the Arnon River:
Moab has been destroyed!’
21
Judgment has been poured out on the towns of the plateau —
on Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath,
22
on Dibon and Nebo and Beth-diblathaim,
23
on Kiriathaim and Beth-gamul and Beth-meon,
24
on Kerioth and Bozrah —
all the towns of Moab, far and near.
25
'The strength of Moab has ended.
His arm has been broken,' says the
Lord
.
26
'Let him stagger and fall like a drunkard,
for he has rebelled against the
Lord
.
Moab will wallow in his own vomit,
ridiculed by all.
27
Did you not ridicule the people of Israel?
Were they caught in the company of thieves
that you should despise them as you do?
28
'You people of Moab,
flee from your towns and live in the caves.
Hide like doves that nest
in the clefts of the rocks.

O inhabitants of Moab!
Be like the dove that nests
in the sides of the mouth of a gorge.

Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded;
her finest young men will go down in the slaughter,"

Lord
Almighty.

and sit on the parched ground,
you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon,

Wail and cry out!
Announce by the Arnon
that Moab is destroyed.
21

25
Moab’s horn is cut off;
her arm is broken,"
declares the
Lord
.
26
"Make her drunk,
for she has defied the
Lord
.
Let Moab wallow in her vomit;
let her be an object of ridicule.
27
Was not Israel the object of your ridicule?
Was she caught among thieves,
that you shake your head in scorn
whenever you speak of her?
28
Abandon your towns and dwell among the rocks,
you who live in Moab.
Be like a dove that makes its nest
at the mouth of a cave.
New King James Version
Chapter 48
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.
