jps@Jeremiah:46:4 @ Harness the horses, and mount, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail.

jps@Jeremiah:46:5 @ Wherefore do I see them dismayed and turned backward? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and they are fled apace, and look not back; terror is on every side, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:46:6 @ The swift cannot flee away, nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have they stumbled and fallen.

jps@Jeremiah:46:7 @ Who is this like the Nile that riseth up, like the rivers whose waters toss themselves?

jps@Jeremiah:46:8 @ Egypt is like the Nile that riseth up, and like the rivers whose waters toss themselves; and he saith: 'I will rise up, I will cover the earth, I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.'

jps@Jeremiah:46:9 @ Prance, ye horses, and rush madly, ye chariots; and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, that handle the shield, and the Ludim, that handle and bend the bow.

jps@Jeremiah:46:10 @ For the Lord GOD of hosts shall have on that day a day of vengeance, that He may avenge Him of His adversaries; and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and shall be made drunk with their blood; for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.

jps@Jeremiah:46:15 @ Why is thy strong one overthrown? He stood not, because the LORD did thrust him down.

jps@Jeremiah:46:16 @ He made many to stumble; yea, they fell one upon another, and said: 'Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.'

jps@Jeremiah:46:17 @ They cried there: 'Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he hath let the appointed time pass by.'

jps@Jeremiah:46:18 @ As I live, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.

jps@Jeremiah:46:19 @ O thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity; for Noph shall become a desolation, and shall be laid waste, without inhabitant.

jps@Jeremiah:46:20 @ Egypt is a very fair heifer; but the gadfly out of the north is come, it is come.

jps@Jeremiah:46:21 @ Also her mercenaries in the midst of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back, they are fled away together, they did not stand; for the day of their calamity is come upon them, the time of their visitation.

jps@Jeremiah:46:22 @ The sound thereof shall go like the serpent's; for they march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

jps@Jeremiah:46:23 @ They cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.

jps@Jeremiah:46:24 @ The daughter of Egypt is put to shame; she is delivered into the hand of the people of the north.

jps@Jeremiah:46:25 @ The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saith: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and them that trust in him;

jps@Jeremiah:46:26 @ and I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:46:27 @ But fear not thou, O Jacob My servant, neither be dismayed, O Israel; for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall again be quiet and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.

jps@Jeremiah:46:28 @ Fear not thou, O Jacob My servant, saith the LORD, for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee, but I will not make a full end of thee; and I will correct thee in measure, but will not utterly destroy thee.

jps@Jeremiah:47:3 @ At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers look not back to their children for feebleness of hands;

jps@Jeremiah:47:4 @ Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth; for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.

jps@Jeremiah:47:5 @ Baldness is come upon Gaza, Ashkelon is brought to nought, the remnant of their valley; how long wilt thou cut thyself?

jps@Jeremiah:47:6 @ O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? Put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

jps@Jeremiah:47:7 @ How canst thou be quiet? for the LORD hath given it a charge; against Ashkelon, and against the sea-shore, there hath He appointed it.

jps@Jeremiah:48:1 @ Of Moab. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled; Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and dismayed.

jps@Jeremiah:48:2 @ The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: 'Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation.' Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue thee.

jps@Jeremiah:48:3 @ Hark! a cry from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction!

jps@Jeremiah:48:4 @ Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

jps@Jeremiah:48:5 @ For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for in the going down of Horonaim they have heard the distressing cry of destruction.

jps@Jeremiah:48:6 @ Flee, save your lives, and be like a tamarisk in the wilderness.

jps@Jeremiah:48:7 @ For, because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken; and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.

jps@Jeremiah:48:8 @ And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the LORD hath spoken.

jps@Jeremiah:48:9 @ Give wings unto Moab, for she must fly and get away; and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein.

jps@Jeremiah:48:10 @ Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD with a slack hand, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

jps@Jeremiah:48:11 @ Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remaineth in him, and his scent is not changed.

jps@Jeremiah:48:12 @ Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him them that tilt up, and they shall tilt him up; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.

jps@Jeremiah:48:13 @ And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.

jps@Jeremiah:48:14 @ How say ye: 'We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war'?

jps@Jeremiah:48:15 @ Moab is spoiled, and they are gone up into her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

jps@Jeremiah:48:16 @ The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.

jps@Jeremiah:48:17 @ Bemoan him, all ye that are round about him, and all ye that know his name; say: 'How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!'

jps@Jeremiah:48:18 @ O thou daughter that dwellest in Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, he hath destroyed thy strongholds.

jps@Jeremiah:48:19 @ O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say: 'What hath been done?'

jps@Jeremiah:48:20 @ Moab is put to shame, for it is dismayed; wail and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled.

jps@Jeremiah:48:21 @ And judgment is come upon the country of the Plain; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath;

jps@Jeremiah:48:22 @ and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim;

jps@Jeremiah:48:23 @ and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon;

jps@Jeremiah:48:24 @ and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

jps@Jeremiah:48:25 @ The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:48:26 @ Make ye him drunken, for he magnified himself against the LORD; and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

jps@Jeremiah:48:27 @ For was not Israel a derision unto thee? Was he found among thieves? For as often as thou speakest of him, thou waggest the head.

jps@Jeremiah: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 pit's mouth.

jps@Jeremiah:48:29 @ We have heard of the pride of Moab; he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his haughtiness, and the assumption of his heart.

jps@Jeremiah:48:30 @ I know his arrogancy, saith the LORD, that it is ill-founded; his boastings have wrought nothing well-founded.

jps@Jeremiah:48:31 @ Therefore will I wail for Moab; yea, I will cry out for all Moab; for the men of Kir-heres shall my heart moan.

jps@Jeremiah:48:32 @ With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah; thy branches passed over the sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer; upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage the spoiler is fallen.

jps@Jeremiah:48:33 @ And gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses; none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.

jps@Jeremiah:48:34 @ From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, even unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, a heifer of three years old; for the Waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.

jps@Jeremiah:48:35 @ Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high place, and him that offereth to his gods.

jps@Jeremiah:48:36 @ Therefore my heart moaneth for Moab like pipes, and my heart moaneth like pipes for the men of Kir-heres; therefore the abundance that he hath gotten is perished.

jps@Jeremiah:48:37 @ For every head is bald, and every beard clipped; upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

jps@Jeremiah:48:38 @ On all the housetops of Moab and in the broad places thereof there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:48:39 @ 'How is it broken down!' wail ye! 'How hath Moab turned the back with shame!' So shall Moab become a derision and a dismay to all that are round about him.

jps@Jeremiah:48:40 @ For thus saith the LORD: Behold, he shall swoop as a vulture, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.

jps@Jeremiah:48:41 @ The cities are taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

jps@Jeremiah:48:42 @ And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:48:43 @ Terror, and the pit, and the trap, are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:48:44 @ He that fleeth from the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for I will bring upon her, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:48:45 @ In the shadow of Heshbon the fugitives stand without strength; for a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and it devoureth the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

jps@Jeremiah:48:46 @ Woe unto thee, O Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away captive, and thy daughters into captivity.

jps@Jeremiah:48:47 @ Yet will I turn the captivity of Moab in the end of days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

jps@Jeremiah:49:1 @ Of the children of Ammon. Thus saith the LORD: Hath Israel no sons? Hath he no heir? Why then doth Malcam take possession of Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?
