Jeremiah 48:28-38
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 48
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.
29
We have heard of the pride of Moab—he
is
very proud—
Of his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance, and his self-exaltation.
30
I know his fury,' declares the
Lord
,
'But it is futile;
His idle boasts have accomplished nothing.
31
Therefore I will wail for Moab,
For all of Moab I will cry out;
I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
32
More than the weeping for Jazer
I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah!
Your tendrils stretched across the sea,
They reached to the sea of Jazer;
Upon your summer fruits and your grape harvest
The destroyer has fallen.
33
So joy and rejoicing are removed
From the fruitful field, and from the land of Moab.
And I have eliminated the wine from the wine presses;
No one will tread
them
with shouting,
The shouting will not be shouts
of joy.
34
From the outcry at Heshbon to Elealeh, to Jahaz they have raised their voice, from Zoar to Horonaim,
and to
Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim will become desolate.
35
And I will put an end to Moab,' declares the
Lord
, 'the one who offers
sacrifice
on the high place and the one who burns incense to his gods.
36
Therefore My heart makes a sound like flutes for Moab; My heart also makes a sound like flutes for the men of Kir-heres. Therefore they have lost the abundance it produced.
37
For every head is
shaved
bald, and every beard cut short; there are gashes on all the hands, and sackcloth around the waists.
38
On all the housetops of Moab and in its public squares there is mourning everywhere; for I have broken Moab like an undesirable vessel,' declares the
Lord
.
King James Version
Chapter 48
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.
29
We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30
I know his wrath, saith the
Lord
; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.
31
Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
32
O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
33
And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.
34
From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
35
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the
Lord
, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36
Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished.
37
For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38
There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the
Lord
.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 48
28
Abandon the towns! Live in the cliffs,
residents of Moab!
Be like a dove
that nests inside the mouth of a cave.
29
We have heard of Moab’s pride,
great pride, indeed—
his insolence, arrogance, pride,
and haughty heart.
30
I know his outburst. This is the
Lord
’s declaration. It is empty.
His boast is empty.
31
Therefore, I will wail over Moab.
I will cry out for Moab, all of it;
he will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
32
I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah,
with more than the weeping for Jazer.
Your tendrils have extended to the sea;
they have reached to the sea and to Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruit and grape harvest.
33
Gladness and celebration are taken from the fertile field
and from the land of Moab.
I have stopped the flow of wine from the winepresses;
no one will tread with shouts of joy.
The shouting is not a shout of joy.
34
"There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they make their voices heard as far as Jahaz —from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah—because even the Waters of Nimrim have become desolate.
35
In Moab, I will stop"—this is the
Lord
’s declaration—"the one who offers sacrifices on the high place and burns incense to his gods.
36
Therefore, my heart moans like flutes for Moab, and my heart moans like flutes for the people of Kir-heres. And therefore, the wealth he has gained has perished.
37
Indeed, every head is bald and every beard is chopped short. On every hand is a gash and sackcloth around the waist.
38
On all the rooftops of Moab and in her public squares, everyone is mourning because I have shattered Moab like a jar no one wants." This is the
Lord
’s declaration.
New Living Translation
Chapter 48
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.
29
We have all heard of the pride of Moab,
for his pride is very great.
We know of his lofty pride,
his arrogance, and his haughty heart.
30
I know about his insolence,'
says the
Lord
,
'but his boasts are empty —
as empty as his deeds.
31
So now I wail for Moab;
yes, I will mourn for Moab.
My heart is broken for the men of Kir-hareseth.
32
'You people of Sibmah, rich in vineyards,
I will weep for you even more than I did for Jazer.
Your spreading vines once reached as far as the Dead Sea,
but the destroyer has stripped you bare!
He has harvested your grapes and summer fruits.
33
Joy and gladness are gone from fruitful Moab.
The presses yield no wine.
No one treads the grapes with shouts of joy.
There is shouting, yes, but not of joy.
34
Instead, their awful cries of terror can be heard from Heshbon clear across to Elealeh and Jahaz; from Zoar all the way to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. Even the waters of Nimrim are dried up now.
35
I will put an end to Moab,' says the
Lord
, 'for the people offer sacrifices at the pagan shrines and burn incense to their false gods.
36
My heart moans like a flute for Moab and Kir-hareseth, for all their wealth has disappeared.
37
The people shave their heads and beards in mourning. They slash their hands and put on clothes made of burlap.
38
There is crying and sorrow in every Moabite home and on every street. For I have smashed Moab like an old, unwanted jar.
English Standard Version
Chapter 48
28
"Leave the cities, and dwell in the rock,
O inhabitants of Moab!
Be like the dove that nests
in the sides of the mouth of a gorge.
29
We have heard of the pride of Moab —
he is very proud —
of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance,
and the haughtiness of his heart.
30
I know his insolence, declares the
Lord
;
his boasts are false,
his deeds are false.
31
Therefore I wail for Moab;
I cry out for all Moab;
for the men of Kir-hareseth I mourn.
32
More than for Jazer I weep for you,
O vine of Sibmah!
Your branches passed over the sea,
reached to the Sea of Jazer;
on your summer fruits and your grapes
the destroyer has fallen.
33
Gladness and joy have been taken away
from the fruitful land of Moab;
I have made the wine cease from the winepresses;
no one treads them with shouts of joy;
the shouting is not the shout of joy.
34
"From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, as far as Jahaz they utter their voice, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also have become desolate.
35
And I will bring to an end in Moab, declares the
Lord
, him who offers sacrifice in the high place and makes offerings to his god.
36
Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the men of Kir-hareseth. Therefore the riches they gained have perished.
37
"For every head is shaved and every beard cut off. On all the hands are gashes, and around the waist is sackcloth.
38
On all the housetops of Moab and in the squares there is nothing but lamentation, for I have broken Moab like a vessel for which no one cares, declares the
Lord
.
New International Version
Chapter 48
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.
29
"We have heard of Moab’s pride—
how great is her arrogance!—
of her insolence, her pride, her conceit
and the haughtiness of her heart.
30
I know her insolence but it is futile,"
declares the
Lord
,
"and her boasts accomplish nothing.
31
Therefore I wail over Moab,
for all Moab I cry out,
I moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.
32
I weep for you, as Jazer weeps,
you vines of Sibmah.
Your branches spread as far as the sea ;
they reached as far as Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen
on your ripened fruit and grapes.
33
Joy and gladness are gone
from the orchards and fields of Moab.
I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses;
no one treads them with shouts of joy.
Although there are shouts,
they are not shouts of joy.
34
"The sound of their cry rises
from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz,
from Zoar as far as Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah,
for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.
35
In Moab I will put an end
to those who make offerings on the high places
and burn incense to their gods,"
declares the
Lord
.
36
"So my heart laments for Moab like the music of a pipe;
it laments like a pipe for the people of Kir Hareseth.
The wealth they acquired is gone.
37
Every head is shaved
and every beard cut off;
every hand is slashed
and every waist is covered with sackcloth.
38
On all the roofs in Moab
and in the public squares
there is nothing but mourning,
for I have broken Moab
like a jar that no one wants,"
declares the
Lord
.
New King James Version
Chapter 48
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
.
