Jeremiah 48

1Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.

לְמֹואָב כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הֹוי אֶל־נְבֹו כִּי שֻׁדָּדָה הֹבִישָׁה נִלְכְּדָה קִרְיָתָיִם הֹבִישָׁה הַמִּשְׂגָּב וָחָתָּה׃ (4192)

2There shall be no more praise of Moab: 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.

אֵין עֹוד תְּהִלַּת מֹואָב בְּחֶשְׁבֹּון חָשְׁבוּ עָלֶיהָ רָעָה לְכוּ וְנַכְרִיתֶנָּה מִגֹּוי גַּם־מַדְמֵן תִּדֹּמִּי אַחֲרַיִךְ תֵּלֶךְ חָרֶב׃ (4485)

3A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.

קֹול צְעָקָה מֵחֹרֹונָיִם שֹׁד וָשֶׁבֶר גָּדֹול׃ (1610)

4Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

נִשְׁבְּרָה מֹואָב הִשְׁמִיעוּ זְּעָקָה [צְעֹורֶיהָ כ] (צְעִירֶיהָ׃ ק) (2105)

5For 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.

כִּי מַעֲלֵה [הַלֻּחֹות כ] (הַלּוּחִית ק) בִּבְכִי יַעֲלֶה־בֶּכִי כִּי בְּמֹורַד חֹורֹנַיִם צָרֵי צַעֲקַת־שֶׁבֶר שָׁמֵעוּ׃ (3858)

6Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

נֻסוּ מַלְּטוּ נַפְשְׁכֶם וְתִהְיֶינָה כַּעֲרֹועֵר בַּמִּדְבָּר׃ (1991)

7For 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.

כִּי יַעַן בִּטְחֵךְ בְּמַעֲשַׂיִךְ וּבְאֹוצְרֹותַיִךְ גַּם־אַתְּ תִּלָּכֵדִי וְיָצָא [כְמִישׁ כ] (כְמֹושׁ ק) בַּגֹּולָה כֹּהֲנָיו וְשָׂרָיו [יַחַד כ] (יַחְדָּיו׃ ק) (4092)

8And 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.

וְיָבֹא שֹׁדֵד אֶל־כָּל־עִיר וְעִיר לֹא תִמָּלֵט וְאָבַד הָעֵמֶק וְנִשְׁמַד הַמִּישֹׁר אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהוָה׃ (3435)

9Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.

תְּנוּ־צִיץ לְמֹואָב כִּי נָצֹא תֵּצֵא וְעָרֶיהָ לְשַׁמָּה תִהְיֶינָה מֵאֵין יֹושֵׁב בָּהֵן׃ (3009)

10Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

אָרוּר עֹשֶׂה מְלֶאכֶת יְהוָה רְמִיָּה וְאָרוּר מֹנֵעַ חַרְבֹּו מִדָּם׃ (2427)

11Moab 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 remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

שַׁאֲנַן מֹואָב מִנְּעוּרָיו וְשֹׁקֵט הוּא אֶל־שְׁמָרָיו וְלֹא־הוּרַק מִכְּלִי אֶל־כֶּלִי וּבַגֹּולָה לֹא הָלָךְ עַל־כֵּן עָמַד טַעְמֹו בֹּו וְרֵיחֹו לֹא נָמָר׃ (3491)

12Therefore, 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.

לָכֵן הִנֵּה־יָמִים בָּאִים נְאֻם־יְהוָה וְשִׁלַּחְתִּי־לֹו צֹעִים וְצֵעֻהוּ וְכֵלָיו יָרִיקוּ וְנִבְלֵיהֶם יְנַפֵּצוּ׃ (2384)

13And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

וּבֹשׁ מֹואָב מִכְּמֹושׁ כַּאֲשֶׁר־בֹּשׁוּ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל מִבֵּית אֵל מִבְטֶחָם׃ (3127)

14How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?

אֵיךְ תֹּאמְרוּ גִּבֹּורִים אֲנָחְנוּ וְאַנְשֵׁי־חַיִל לַמִּלְחָמָה׃ (1622)

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.

שֻׁדַּד מֹואָב וְעָרֶיהָ עָלָה וּמִבְחַר בַּחוּרָיו יָרְדוּ לַטָּבַח נְאֻם־הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוָה צְבָאֹות שְׁמֹו׃ (2567)

16The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.

קָרֹוב אֵיד־מֹואָב לָבֹוא וְרָעָתֹו מִהֲרָה מְאֹד׃ (1388)

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!

נֻדוּ לֹו כָּל־סְבִיבָיו וְכֹל יֹדְעֵי שְׁמֹו אִמְרוּ אֵיכָה נִשְׁבַּר מַטֵּה־עֹז מַקֵּל תִּפְאָרָה׃ (2554)

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.

רְדִי מִכָּבֹוד [יֹשְׁבֶי כ] (וּשְׁבִי ק) בַצָּמָא יֹשֶׁבֶת בַּת־דִּיבֹון כִּי־שֹׁדֵד מֹואָב עָלָה בָךְ שִׁחֵת מִבְצָרָיִךְ׃ (3949)

19O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?

אֶל־דֶּרֶךְ עִמְדִי וְצַפִּי יֹושֶׁבֶת עֲרֹועֵר שַׁאֲלִי־נָס וְנִמְלָטָה אִמְרִי מַה־נִּהְיָתָה׃ (3186)

20Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,

הֹבִישׁ מֹואָב כִּי־חַתָּה [הֵילִילִי כ] (הֵילִילוּ ׀ ק) [וּזְעָקִי כ] (וּזְעָקוּ ק) הַגִּידוּ בְאַרְנֹון כִּי שֻׁדַּד מֹואָב׃ (2341)

21And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,

וּמִשְׁפָּט בָּא אֶל־אֶרֶץ הַמִּישֹׁר אֶל־חֹלֹון וְאֶל־יַהְצָה וְעַל־ [מֹופָעַת כ] (מֵיפָעַת׃ ק) (3009)

22And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,

וְעַל־דִּיבֹון וְעַל־נְבֹו וְעַל־בֵּית דִּבְלָתָיִם׃ (1346)

23And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,

וְעַל קִרְיָתַיִם וְעַל־בֵּית גָּמוּל וְעַל־בֵּית מְעֹון׃ (2147)

24And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

וְעַל־קְרִיֹּות וְעַל־בָּצְרָה וְעַל כָּל־עָרֵי אֶרֶץ מֹואָב הָרְחֹקֹות וְהַקְּרֹבֹות׃ (3439)

25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD.

נִגְדְּעָה קֶרֶן מֹואָב וּזְרֹעֹו נִשְׁבָּרָה נְאֻם יְהוָה׃ (1494)

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.

הַשְׁכִּירֻהוּ כִּי עַל־יְהוָה הִגְדִּיל וְסָפַק מֹואָב בְּקִיאֹו וְהָיָה לִשְׂחֹק גַּם־הוּא׃ (1687)

27For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy.

וְאִם ׀ לֹוא הַשְּׂחֹק הָיָה לְךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם־בְּגַנָּבִים [נִמְצָאָה כ] (נִמְצָא ק) כִּי־מִדֵּי דְבָרֶיךָ בֹּו תִּתְנֹודָד׃ (2935)

28O 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.

עִזְבוּ עָרִים וְשִׁכְנוּ בַּסֶּלַע יֹשְׁבֵי מֹואָב וִהְיוּ כְיֹונָה תְּקַנֵּן בְּעֶבְרֵי פִי־פָחַת׃ (2900)

29We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

שָׁמַעְנוּ גְאֹון־מֹואָב גֵּאֶה מְאֹד גָּבְהֹו וּגְאֹונֹו וְגַאֲוָתֹו וְרֻם לִבֹּו׃ (1423)

30I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.

אֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי נְאֻם־יְהוָה עֶבְרָתֹו וְלֹא־כֵן בַּדָּיו לֹא־כֵן עָשׂוּ׃ (1956)

31Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.

עַל־כֵּן עַל־מֹואָב אֲיֵלִיל וּלְמֹואָב כֻּלֹּה אֶזְעָק אֶל־אַנְשֵׁי קִיר־חֶרֶשׂ יֶהְגֶּה׃ (1951)

32O 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.

מִבְּכִי יַעְזֵר אֶבְכֶּה־לָּךְ הַגֶּפֶן שִׂבְמָה נְטִישֹׁתַיִךְ עָבְרוּ יָם עַד יָם יַעְזֵר נָגָעוּ עַל־קֵיצֵךְ וְעַל־בְּצִירֵךְ שֹׁדֵד נָפָל׃ (3805)

33And 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.

וְנֶאֶסְפָה שִׂמְחָה וָגִיל מִכַּרְמֶל וּמֵאֶרֶץ מֹואָב וְיַיִן מִיקָבִים הִשְׁבַּתִּי לֹא־יִדְרֹךְ הֵידָד הֵידָד לֹא הֵידָד׃ (2680)

34From 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.

מִזַּעֲקַת חֶשְׁבֹּון עַד־אֶלְעָלֵה עַד־יַהַץ נָתְנוּ קֹולָם מִצֹּעַר עַד־חֹרֹנַיִם עֶגְלַת שְׁלִשִׁיָּה כִּי גַּם־מֵי נִמְרִים לִמְשַׁמֹּות יִהְיוּ׃ (5294)

35Moreover 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.

וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי לְמֹואָב נְאֻם־יְהוָה מַעֲלֶה בָמָה וּמַקְטִיר לֵאלֹהָיו׃ (1558)

36Therefore 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.

עַל־כֵּן לִבִּי לְמֹואָב כַּחֲלִלִים יֶהֱמֶה וְלִבִּי אֶל־אַנְשֵׁי קִיר־חֶרֶשׂ כַּחֲלִילִים יֶהֱמֶה עַל־כֵּן יִתְרַת עָשָׂה אָבָדוּ׃ (3523)

37For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.

כִּי כָל־רֹאשׁ קָרְחָה וְכָל־זָקָן גְּרֻעָה עַל כָּל־יָדַיִם גְּדֻדֹת וְעַל־מָתְנַיִם שָׂק׃ (3056)

38There 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.

עַל כָּל־גַּגֹּות מֹואָב וּבִרְחֹבֹתֶיהָ כֻּלֹּה מִסְפֵּד כִּי־שָׁבַרְתִּי אֶת־מֹואָב כִּכְלִי אֵין־חֵפֶץ בֹּו נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ (3319)

39They 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.

אֵיךְ חַתָּה הֵילִילוּ אֵיךְ הִפְנָה־עֹרֶף מֹואָב בֹּושׁ וְהָיָה מֹואָב לִשְׂחֹק וְלִמְחִתָּה לְכָל־סְבִיבָיו׃ (2585)

40For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

כִּי־כֹה אָמַר יְהוָה הִנֵּה כַנֶּשֶׁר יִדְאֶה וּפָרַשׂ כְּנָפָיו אֶל־מֹואָב׃ (1804)

41Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

נִלְכְּדָה הַקְּרִיֹּות וְהַמְּצָדֹות נִתְפָּשָׂה וְהָיָה לֵב גִּבֹּורֵי מֹואָב בַּיֹּום הַהוּא כְּלֵב אִשָּׁה מְצֵרָה׃ (3312)

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

וְנִשְׁמַד מֹואָב מֵעָם כִּי עַל־יְהוָה הִגְדִּיל׃ (807)

43Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD.

פַּחַד וָפַחַת וָפָח עָלֶיךָ יֹושֵׁב מֹואָב נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ (1294)

44He that fleeth 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, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

[הַנִּיס כ] (הַנָּס ק) מִפְּנֵי הַפַּחַד יִפֹּל אֶל־הַפַּחַת וְהָעֹלֶה מִן־הַפַּחַת יִלָּכֵד בַּפָּח כִּי־אָבִיא אֵלֶיהָ אֶל־מֹואָב שְׁנַת פְּקֻדָּתָם נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ (3795)

45They 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, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

בְּצֵל חֶשְׁבֹּון עָמְדוּ מִכֹּחַ נָסִים כִּי־אֵשׁ יָצָא מֵחֶשְׁבֹּון וְלֶהָבָה מִבֵּין סִיחֹון וַתֹּאכַל פְּאַת מֹואָב וְקָדְקֹד בְּנֵי שָׁאֹון׃ (3578)

46Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.

אֹוי־לְךָ מֹואָב אָבַד עַם־כְּמֹושׁ כִּי־לֻקְּחוּ בָנֶיךָ בַּשֶּׁבִי וּבְנֹתֶיךָ בַּשִּׁבְיָה׃ (1976)

47Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

וְשַׁבְתִּי שְׁבוּת־מֹואָב בְּאַחֲרִית הַיָּמִים נְאֻם־יְהוָה עַד־הֵנָּה מִשְׁפַּט מֹואָב׃ (2930)
