Jeremiah 48:13-26
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 48

13And Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
14How can you say, ‘We are warriors, And men competent for battle’? 15Moab 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. 17Mourn 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!’ 18Come 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. 19Stand by the road and keep watch, You inhabitant of Aroer; Ask him who flees and her who escapes And say, ‘What has happened?’
20Moab has been put to shame, for it has been shattered. Wail and cry out; Declare by the Arnon That Moab has been destroyed.
21Judgment has also come upon the plain, upon Holon, Jahzah, and against Mephaath, 22against Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim, 23against Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon, 24against Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. 25The horn of Moab has been cut off, and his arm broken,' declares the Lord. 26Make him drunk, for he has become arrogant toward the Lord; so Moab will vomit, and he also will become a laughingstock.
King James Version

Chapter 48

13And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war? 15Moab 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. 16The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast. 17All 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! 18Thou 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. 19O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done? 20Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled, 21And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath, 22And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim, 23And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon, 24And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. 25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD. 26Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 48

13Moab will be put to shame because of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was put to shame because of Bethel that they trusted in. 14How can you say, "We are warriors -- valiant men for battle"?
15The 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. 16Moab's calamity is near at hand; his disaster is rushing swiftly. 17Mourn for him, all you surrounding nations, everyone who knows his name. Say, "How the mighty scepter is shattered, the glorious staff! " 18Come 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. 19Stand by the highway and watch, resident of Aroer! Ask him who is fleeing or her who is escaping, "What happened? " 20Moab 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, 22Dibon, Nebo, Beth-diblathaim, 23Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, Beth-meon, 24Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of the land of Moab, those far and near.
25Moab'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.
New Living Translation

Chapter 48

13At last Moab will be ashamed of his idol Chemosh, as the people of Israel were ashamed of their gold calf at Bethel.
14'You used to boast, ‘We are heroes, mighty men of war.’ 15But 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. 17You 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. 19You 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!’ 21Judgment has been poured out on the towns of the plateau — on Holon and Jahaz and Mephaath, 22on Dibon and Nebo and Beth-diblathaim, 23on Kiriathaim and Beth-gamul and Beth-meon, 24on 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.
English Standard Version

Chapter 48

13Then Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
14“How do you say, ‘We are heroes and mighty men of war’? 15The destroyer of Moab and his cities has come up, and the choicest of his young men have gone down to slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. 16The calamity of Moab is near at hand, and his affliction hastens swiftly. 17Grieve for him, all you who are around him, and all who know his name; say, ‘How the mighty scepter is broken, the glorious staff.’ 18“Come down from your glory, and sit on the parched ground, O inhabitant of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you; he has destroyed your strongholds. 19Stand by the way and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer! Ask him who flees and her who escapes; say, ‘What has happened?’ 20Moab is put to shame, for it is broken; wail and cry! Tell it beside the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste. 21“Judgment has come upon the tableland, upon Holon, and Jahzah, and Mephaath, 22and Dibon, and Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim, 23and Kiriathaim, and Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon, 24and Kerioth, and Bozrah, and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. 25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, declares the LORD.
26“Make him drunk, because he magnified himself against the LORD, so that Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he too shall be held in derision.
New International Version

Chapter 48

13Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel. 14How can you say, 'We are warriors, men valiant in battle'? 15Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded; her finest young men will go down in the slaughter,' declares the King, whose name is the LORD Almighty. 16The fall of Moab is at hand; her calamity will come quickly.
17Mourn for her, all who live around her, all who know her fame; say, 'How broken is the mighty scepter, how broken the glorious staff!' 18Come down from your glory and sit on the parched ground, you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon, for the one who destroys Moab will come up against you and ruin your fortified cities. 19Stand by the road and watch, you who live in Aroer. Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping, ask them, 'What has happened?' 20Moab is disgraced, for she is shattered. Wail and cry out! Announce by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed. 21Judgment has come to the plateau-- to Holon, Jahzah and Mephaath, 22to Dibon, Nebo and Beth Diblathaim, 23to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul and Beth Meon, 24to Kerioth and Bozrah-- to all the towns of Moab, far and near.
25Moab's horn is cut off; her arm is broken,' declares the LORD. 26Make her drunk, for she has defied the LORD. Let Moab wallow in her vomit; let her be an object of ridicule.
New King James Version

Chapter 48

13Moab 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’? 15Moab 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. 17Bemoan 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. 19O inhabitant of Aroer, Stand by the way and watch; Ask him who flees And her who escapes; Say, ‘What has happened?’ 20Moab 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, 22On Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim, 23On Kirjathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon, 24On 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.
