Jeremiah:47-48
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines ,
before that Pharaoh smote Gaza .
*
Thus saith the LORD ;
Behold ,
waters rise up out of the north ,
and shall be an overflowing flood ,
and shall overflow the land ,
and all that is therein ;
the city ,
and them that dwell therein :
then the men shall cry ,
and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl .
*
At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses ,
at the rushing of his chariots ,
and at the rumbling of his wheels ,
the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands ;
*
Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines ,
and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth :
for the LORD will spoil the Philistines ,
the remnant of the country of Caphtor .
*
Baldness is come upon Gaza ;
Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley :
how long wilt thou cut thyself ?
*
O thou sword of the LORD ,
how long will it be ere thou be quiet ?
put up thyself into thy scabbard ta #
ar #,
rest ,
and be still .
*
How can it be quiet ,
seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon #
Ashq @
lown #,
and against the sea shore ?
there hath he appointed it .
*
Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
Woe unto Nebo !
for it is spoiled :
Kiriathaim is confounded and taken :
Misgab is confounded and dismayed .
*
There shall be no more praise of Moab Mow #
ab #:
in Heshbon they have devised evil against it ;
come ,
and let us cut it off from being a nation .
Also thou shalt be cut down ,
O Madmen ;
the sword shall pursue thee .
*
A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim ,
spoiling and great destruction .
*
Moab is destroyed ;
her little ones have caused a cry to be heard .
*
For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up ;
for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction .
*
Flee ,
save your lives ,
and be like the heath #
arow #
er #
in the wilderness .
*
For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures ,
thou shalt also be taken :
and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together .
*
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 .
*
Give wings unto Moab Mow #
ab #,
that it may flee and get away :
for the cities thereof shall be desolate ,
without any to dwell therein .
*
Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully ,
and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood .
*
Moab hath been at ease from his youth na #
uwr #,
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 remained in him ,
and his scent is not changed .
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
the days come ,
saith the LORD ,
that I will send unto him wanderers ,
that shall cause him to wander ,
and shall empty his vessels ,
and break their bottles .
*
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh ,
as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel Beyth -#
El #
their confidence .
*
How say ye ,
We are mighty and strong men for the war ?
*
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 .
*
The calamity of Moab is near to come ,
and his affliction hasteth fast m @#
od #.
*
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 !
*
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 .
*
O inhabitant of Aroer #
Arow #
er #,
stand by the way ,
and espy ;
ask him that fleeth ,
and her that escapeth ,
and say ,
What is done ?
*
Moab is confounded ;
for it is broken down :
howl and cry ;
tell ye it in Arnon ,
that Moab is spoiled ,
*
And judgment is come upon the plain country ;
upon Holon ,
and upon Jahazah ,
and upon Mephaath Mowpha #
ath #,
*
And upon Dibon ,
and upon Nebo ,
and upon Bethdiblathaim Beyth ,
*
And upon Kiriathaim ,
and upon Bethgamul Beyth ,
and upon Bethmeon Beyth Ba #
al M @#
own #,
*
And upon Kerioth ,
and upon Bozrah ,
and upon all the cities of the land of Moab Mow #
ab #,
far or near .
*
The horn of Moab is cut off ,
and his arm is broken ,
saith the LORD .
*
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 .
*
For was not Israel a derision unto thee ?
was he found among thieves ?
for since thou spakest of him ,
thou skippedst for joy .
*
O ye that dwell in Moab Mow #
ab #,
leave the cities ,
and dwell in the rock ,
and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the holes mouth .
*
We have heard the pride of Moab Mow #
ab #, (
he is exceeding proud ge #
eh #)
his loftiness ,
and his arrogancy ga #
avah #,
and his pride ga #
own #,
and the haughtiness of his heart .
*
I know his wrath ,
saith the LORD ;
but it shall not be so ;
his lies shall not so effect it .
*
Therefore will I howl for Moab Mow #
ab #,
and I will cry out for all Moab Mow #
ab #;
mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres Qiyr .
*
O vine of Sibmah ,
I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer Ya #
azeyr #:
thy plants are gone over the sea ,
they reach even to the sea of Jazer Ya #
azeyr #:
the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage .
*
And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field ,
and from the land of Moab Mow #
ab #;
and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses :
none shall tread with shouting ;
their shouting shall be no shouting .
*
From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh #
El #
ale #,
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 .
*
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab Mow #
ab #,
saith the LORD ,
him that offereth in the high places ,
and him that burneth incense to his gods .
*
Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes ,
and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres Qiyr :
because the riches that he hath gotten are perished .
*
For every head shall be bald ,
and every beard clipped :
upon all the hands shall be cuttings ,
and upon the loins sackcloth .
*
There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab Mow #
ab #,
and in the streets thereof :
for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure ,
saith the LORD .
*
They shall howl ,
saying ,
How is it broken down !
how hath Moab turned the back with shame !
so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him .
*
For thus saith the LORD ;
Behold ,
he shall fly as an eagle ,
and shall spread his wings over Moab Mow #
ab #.
*
Kerioth is taken ,
and the strong holds are surprised ,
and the mighty mens hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs .
*
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people ,
because he hath magnified himself against the LORD .
*
Fear ,
and the pit ,
and the snare ,
shall be upon thee ,
O inhabitant of Moab Mow #
ab #,
saith the LORD .
*
He that fleeth (
8675 )
from the fear shall fall into the pit ;
and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare :
for I will bring upon it ,
even upon Moab Mow #
ab #,
the year of their visitation ,
saith the LORD .
*
They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force :
but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon ,
and a flame from the midst of Sihon ,
and shall devour the corner of Moab Mow #
ab #,
and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones .
*
Woe be unto thee ,
O Moab Mow #
ab #!
the people of Chemosh perisheth :
for thy sons are taken captives ,
and thy daughters captives .
*
Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days ,
saith the LORD .
Thus far is the judgment of Moab Mow #
ab #.
*
Concerning the Ammonites ben #,
thus saith the LORD ;
Hath Israel no sons ?
hath he no heir ?
why then doth their king inherit Gad ,
and his people dwell in his cities ?
