Bible. Jeremiah
24:048:008 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.
24:048:009 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the
cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell
therein.
24:048:010 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and
cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
24:048:011 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
remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
24:048:012 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.
24:048:013 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel
was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
24:048:014 How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
24:048:015 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.
24:048:016 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction
hasteth fast.
24:048:017 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!
24:048:018 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.
24:048:019 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him
that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done?
24:048:020 Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell
ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,
24:048:021 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and
upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
24:048:022 And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim,
24:048:023 And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon,
24:048:024 And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of
the land of Moab, far or near.
24:048:025 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the
LORD.
24:048:026 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.
24:048:027 For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among
thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for
joy.
