Erven Parallel Bible with Kjvp for Jeremiah 48 1

1 This message is about the country of Moab. This is what the Lord All- Powerful, the God of the people of Israel, says: "It will be bad for Mount Nebo. Mount Nebo will be ruined. The town of Kiriathaim will be humbled. It will be captured. The strong place will be humbled. It will be shattered.

2 Moab will not be praised again. Men in Heshbon will plan Moab's defeat. They will say, 'Come, let us put an end to that nation.' Madmenah, you will also be silenced. The sword will chase you.

3 Listen to the cries from Horonaim. They are cries of much confusion and destruction.

4 Moab will be destroyed. Her little children will cry for help.

5 Moab's people go up the path to Luhith. They are crying bitterly as they go. On the road down to the town of Horonaim, cries of pain and suffering can be heard.

6 Run away! Run for your lives! Run away like a tumbleweed blowing through the desert.

7 You trust in the things you made and in your wealth, so you will be captured. The god Chemosh will be taken into captivity, and his priests and officials will be taken with him.

8 The Destroyer will come against every town. Not one town will escape. The valley will be ruined. The high plain will be destroyed. The Lord said this would happen, so it will happen.

9 Spread salt over the fields in Moab. The country will be an empty desert. Moab's towns will become empty. No one will live in them.

10 Bad things will happen to those who don't obey the Lord and don't use their swords to kill those people.

11 "Moab has never known trouble. Moab is like wine left to settle. Moab has never been poured from one jar to another. He has not been taken into captivity. So he tastes as he did before, and his smell has not changed."

12 This is what the Lord says: "But I will soon send men to pour you from your jars. Then they will empty the jars and smash them to pieces."

13 Then the people of Moab will be ashamed of their false god, Chemosh. They will be like the people of Israel who trusted that god in Bethel but were ashamed when he did not help them.

14 "You cannot say, 'We are good soldiers. We are brave men in battle.'

15 The enemy will attack Moab. The enemy will enter its towns and destroy them. Its best young men will be killed in the slaughter." This message is from the King. The King's name is the Lord All-Powerful.

16 "The end of Moab is near. Moab will soon be destroyed.

17 All you who live around Moab should cry for that country. You know how famous Moab is. So cry for it. Say, 'The ruler's power is broken. Moab's power and glory is gone.'

18 "You people living in Dibon, come down from your place of honor. Sit on the ground in the dust, because the Destroyer is coming. And he will destroy your strong cities.

19 "You people living in Aroer, stand next to the road and watch. See the man running away. See that woman running away. Ask them what happened.

20 "Moab will be ruined and filled with shame. Moab will cry and cry. Announce at the Arnon River that Moab is destroyed.

21 People on the high plain have been punished. Judgment has come to the towns of Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath.

22 Judgment has come to the towns of Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim.

23 Judgment has come to the towns of Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon.

24 Judgment has come to the towns of Kerioth and Bozrah. Judgment has come to all the towns of Moab, far and near.

25 Moab's strength has been cut off. Its arm has been broken." This is what the Lord said.

26 "The people of Moab thought they were greater than the Lord. So punish them until they act like a drunk, falling and rolling around in his vomit. Then people will make fun of them.

27 "Moab, you made fun of Israel. Israel was caught by a gang of thieves. Every time you spoke about Israel, you shook your head and acted as if you were better than Israel.

28 People in Moab, leave your towns. Go live among the rocks; be like a dove that makes its nest at the opening of a cave."

29 "We have heard about Moab's pride. He was very proud. He thought he was important. He was always bragging. He was very, very proud."

30 The Lord says, "I know Moab gets angry quickly and brags about himself, but his boasts are lies. He cannot do what he says.

31 So I cry for Moab. I cry for everyone in Moab. I cry for the men from Kir Hareseth.

32 I cry with the people of Jazer for Jazer. Sibmah, in the past your vines spread all the way to the sea. They reached as far as the town of Jazer. But the Destroyer has taken your fruit and grapes.

33 Joy and happiness are gone from the large vineyards of Moab. I stopped the flow of wine from the winepresses. There is no singing and dancing from people walking on the grapes to make wine. There are no shouts of joy.

34 "The people of the towns of Heshbon and Elealeh are crying. Their cry is heard even as far away as the town of Jahaz. Their cry is heard from the town of Zoar, as far away as the towns of Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah. Even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.

35 I will stop Moab from making burnt offerings on the high places. I will stop them from making sacrifices to their gods." This is what the Lord said.

36 "I am very sad for Moab. My heart cries like the sad sound of a flute playing a funeral song. I am sad for the people from Kir Hareseth. Their money and riches have all been taken away.

37 Everyone has a shaved head. Everyone's beard is cut off. Everyone's hands are cut and bleeding. Everyone is wearing sackcloth around their waists.

38 People are crying for the dead everywhere in Moab—on every housetop and in every public square. There is sadness because I have broken Moab like an empty jar." This is what the Lord said.

39 "Moab is shattered. The people are crying. Moab surrendered. Now Moab is ashamed. People make fun of Moab, but what happened fills them with fear."

40 The Lord says, "Look! An eagle is diving down from the sky. It is spreading its wings over Moab.

41 The towns of Moab will be captured. The strong hiding places will be defeated. At that time Moab's soldiers will be filled with fear, like a woman giving birth.

42 The nation of Moab will be destroyed, because they thought that they were more important than the Lord."

43 This is what the Lord says: "People of Moab, fear, deep holes, and traps wait for you.

44 People will be afraid and run away, and they will fall into the deep holes. Anyone who climbs out of the deep holes will be caught in the traps. I will bring the year of punishment to Moab." This is what the Lord said.

45 "People have run from the powerful enemy. They ran to safety in the town of Heshbon. But a fire started in Heshbon. That fire started in Sihon's town, and it is destroying the leaders of Moab. It is destroying those proud people.

46 It will be bad for you, Moab. Chemosh's people are being destroyed. Your sons and daughters are being taken away as prisoners and captives.

47 "Moab's people will be taken away as captives. But in days to come, I will bring them back." This message is from the Lord. This ends the judgment on Moab.

1 Against Moab ^H4124 thus ^H3541 saith ^H559 ^VQQ3MS the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS of hosts ^H6635 , the God ^H430 ^CDP of Israel ^H3478 ; Woe ^H1945 unto ^H413 ^PREP Nebo ^H5015 ! for ^H3588 ^CONJ it is spoiled ^H7703 : Kiriathaim ^H7156 is confounded ^H3001 and taken ^H3920 : Misgab ^H4869 is confounded ^H3001 and dismayed ^H2865 .

2 There shall be no ^H369 ^NPAR more ^H5750 ^ADV praise ^H8416 of Moab ^H4124 : in Heshbon ^H2809 they have devised ^H2803 evil ^H7451 ^AFS against ^H5921 ^PREP-3FS it ; come ^H1980 ^VQI2MP , and let us cut it off ^H3772 from being a nation ^H1471 . Also ^H1571 ^CONJ thou shalt be cut down ^H1826 , O Madmen ^H4086 ; the sword ^H2719 ^GFS shall pursue ^H310 thee .

3 A voice ^H6963 ^CMS of crying ^H6818 shall be from Horonaim ^H2773 , spoiling ^H7701 and great ^H1419 destruction ^H7667 .

4 Moab ^H4124 is destroyed ^H7665 ; her little ones ^H6810 have caused a cry ^H2201 to be heard ^H8085 .

5 For ^H3588 ^CONJ in the going up ^H4608 of Luhith ^H3872 continual weeping ^H1065 shall go up ^H5927 ^VQY3MS ; for ^H3588 ^CONJ in the going down ^H4174 of Horonaim ^H2773 the enemies ^H6862 have heard ^H8085 a cry ^H6818 ^CFS of destruction ^H7667 .

6 Flee ^H5127 , save ^H4422 your lives ^H5315 ^CFS-2MP , and be ^H1961 like the heath ^H6176 in the wilderness ^H4057 .

7 For ^H3588 ^CONJ because ^H3282 ^ADV thou hast trusted ^H982 in thy works ^H4639 and in thy treasures ^H214 , thou ^H859 shalt also ^H1571 ^CONJ be taken ^H3920 : and Chemosh ^H3645 shall go forth ^H3318 into captivity ^H1473 with his priests ^H3548 and his princes ^H8269 together ^H3162 .

8 And the spoiler ^H7703 shall come ^H935 ^W-VQY3MS upon ^H413 ^PREP every ^H3605 ^NMS city ^H5892 ^GFS , and no ^H3808 ^NADV city ^H5892 shall escape ^H4422 : the valley ^H6010 also shall perish ^H6 , and the plain ^H4334 shall be destroyed ^H8045 , as ^H834 ^RPRO the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS hath spoken ^H559 ^VQQ3MS .

9 Give ^H5414 wings ^H6731 unto Moab ^H4124 , that ^H3588 ^CONJ it may flee ^H5323 and get away ^H3318 : for the cities ^H5892 thereof shall be ^H1961 desolate ^H8047 , without any ^H369 to dwell ^H3427 ^VQPMS therein ^H2004 .

10 Cursed ^H779 ^VWQ3MS be he that doeth ^H6213 ^VQPMS the work ^H4399 of the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS deceitfully ^H7423 , and cursed ^H779 be he that keepeth back ^H4513 his sword ^H2719 from blood ^H1818 .

11 Moab ^H4124 hath been at ease ^H7599 from his youth ^H5271 , and he ^H1931 ^PPRO-3MS hath settled ^H8252 on ^H413 ^PREP his lees ^H8105 , and hath not ^H3808 ^ADV been emptied ^H7324 from vessel ^H3627 to ^H413 ^PREP vessel ^H3627 , neither ^H3808 ^NADV hath he gone ^H1980 into captivity ^H1473 : therefore ^H3651 ^ADV his taste ^H2940 remained ^H5975 in him , and his scent ^H7381 is not ^H3808 ^NADV changed ^H4171 .

12 Therefore ^H3651 ^L-ADV , behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , the days ^H3117 ^NMP come ^H935 , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , that I will send ^H7971 unto him wanderers ^H6808 , that shall cause him to wander ^H6808 , and shall empty ^H7324 his vessels ^H3627 , and break ^H5310 their bottles ^H5035 .

13 And Moab ^H4124 shall be ashamed ^H954 of Chemosh ^H3645 , as ^H834 ^K-RPRO the house ^H1004 ^CMS of Israel ^H3478 was ashamed ^H954 of Bethel ^H1008 ^LFS their confidence ^H4009 .

14 How ^H349 say ^H559 ye , We ^H587 are mighty ^H1368 and strong ^H2428 ^NMS men ^H376 for the war ^H4421 ?

15 Moab ^H4124 is spoiled ^H7703 , and gone up ^H5927 out of her cities ^H5892 , and his chosen ^H4005 young men ^H970 are gone down ^H3381 to the slaughter ^H2874 , saith ^H5002 the King ^H4428 ^D-NMS , whose name ^H8034 ^CMS-3MS is the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS of hosts ^H6635 .

16 The calamity ^H343 ^CMS of Moab ^H4124 is near ^H7138 ^AMS to come ^H935 ^L-VQFC , and his affliction ^H7451 hasteth ^H4116 fast ^H3966 ^ADV .

17 All ^H3605 ^NMS ye that are about ^H5439 him , bemoan ^H5110 him ; and all ^H3605 ^NMS ye that know ^H3045 ^VQPMS his name ^H8034 ^CMS-3MS , say ^H559 , How ^H349 is the strong ^H5797 ^NMS staff ^H4294 broken ^H7665 , and the beautiful ^H8597 rod ^H4731 !

18 Thou daughter ^H1323 ^CFS that dost inhabit ^H3427 Dibon ^H1769 , come down ^H3381 from thy glory ^H3519 , and sit ^H3427 in thirst ^H6772 ; for ^H3588 ^CONJ the spoiler ^H7703 of Moab ^H4124 shall come ^H5927 upon thee , and he shall destroy ^H7843 thy strongholds ^H4013 .

19 O inhabitant ^H3427 of Aroer ^H6177 , stand ^H5975 by ^H413 ^PREP the way ^H1870 ^NMS , and espy ^H6822 ; ask ^H7592 him that fleeth ^H5127 , and her that escapeth ^H4422 , and say ^H559 ^VQI2FS , What ^H4100 ^IPRO is ^H1961 done ?

20 Moab ^H4124 is confounded ^H3001 ; for ^H3588 ^CONJ it is broken down ^H2865 : howl ^H3213 and cry ^H2199 ; tell ^H5046 ye it in Arnon ^H769 , that ^H3588 ^CONJ Moab ^H4124 is spoiled ^H7703 ,

21 And judgment ^H4941 ^W-NMS is come ^H935 ^VQPMS upon ^H413 ^PREP the plain ^H4334 country ^H776 ^GFS ; upon ^H413 ^PREP Holon ^H2473 , and upon ^H413 ^PREP Jahazah ^H3096 , and upon ^H5921 ^W-PREP Mephaath ^H4158 ,

22 And upon ^H5921 ^W-PREP Dibon ^H1769 , and upon ^H5921 ^W-PREP Nebo ^H5015 , and upon ^H5921 ^W-PREP Beth ^H1015 - diblathaim ,

25 The horn ^H7161 of Moab ^H4124 is cut off ^H1438 , and his arm ^H2220 is broken ^H7665 , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS .

26 Make ye him drunken ^H7937 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ he magnified ^H1431 himself against ^H5921 ^PREP the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS : Moab ^H4124 also shall wallow ^H5606 in his vomit ^H6892 , and he ^H1931 ^PPRO-3MS also ^H1571 ^CONJ shall be ^H1961 ^W-VQQ3MS in derision ^H7814 .

27 For ^H518 ^PART was ^H1961 ^VQQ3MS not ^H3808 ^UNKN Israel ^H3478 a derision ^H7814 unto thee ? was he found ^H4672 among thieves ^H1590 ? for ^H3588 ^CONJ since ^H1767 thou spakest ^H1697 of him , thou skippedst for joy ^H5110 .

28 O ye that dwell ^H3427 in Moab ^H4124 , leave ^H5800 ^VQI2MP the cities ^H5892 ^GFP , and dwell ^H7931 in the rock ^H5553 , and be ^H1961 like the dove ^H3123 that maketh her nest ^H7077 in the sides ^H5676 of the hole ^H6354 \'s mouth ^H6310 ^CMS-1MS .

29 We have heard ^H8085 ^VQQ1MP the pride ^H1347 of Moab ^H4124 , (he is exceeding ^H3966 ^ADV proud ^H1343 ^AMS ) his loftiness ^H1363 , and his arrogance ^H1347 , and his pride ^H1346 , and the haughtiness ^H7312 of his heart ^H3820 ^CMS-3MS .

31 Therefore ^H5921 ^PREP will I howl ^H3213 for ^H5921 ^PREP Moab ^H4124 , and I will cry out ^H2199 for all ^H3605 Moab ^H4124 ; mine heart shall mourn ^H1897 for ^H413 ^PREP the men ^H376 ^CMP of Kir ^H7025 - heres .

32 O vine ^H1612 of Sibmah ^H7643 , I will weep ^H1058 for thee with the weeping ^H1065 ^M-NMS of Jazer ^H3270 : thy plants ^H5189 are gone over ^H5674 ^VQQ3MP the sea ^H3220 ^NMS , they reach ^H5060 even to ^H5704 ^PREP the sea ^H3220 ^NMS of Jazer ^H3270 : the spoiler ^H7703 is fallen ^H5307 upon ^H5921 ^PREP thy summer fruits ^H7019 and upon ^H5921 ^PREP thy vintage ^H1210 .

33 And joy ^H8057 and gladness ^H1524 is taken ^H622 from the plentiful field ^H3759 , and from the land ^H776 of Moab ^H4124 ; and I have caused wine ^H3196 to fail ^H7673 from the winepresses ^H3342 : none ^H3808 ^ADV shall tread ^H1869 with shouting ^H1959 ; their shouting ^H1959 shall be no ^H3808 ^NADV shouting ^H1959 .

34 From the cry ^H2201 of Heshbon ^H2809 even unto ^H5704 ^PREP Elealeh ^H500 , and even unto ^H5704 ^PREP Jahaz ^H3096 , have they uttered ^H5414 their voice ^H6963 ^CMS-3MP , from Zoar ^H6820 even unto ^H5704 ^PREP Horonaim ^H2773 , as a heifer ^H5697 of three years old ^H7992 : for ^H3588 ^CONJ the waters ^H4325 also ^H1571 ^CONJ of Nimrim ^H5249 shall be ^H1961 desolate ^H4923 .

35 Moreover I will cause to cease ^H7673 in Moab ^H4124 , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS , him that offereth ^H5927 in the high places ^H1116 , and him that burneth incense ^H6999 to his gods ^H430 .

36 Therefore ^H5921 ^PREP mine heart ^H3820 ^NMS-1MS shall sound ^H1993 for Moab ^H4124 like pipes ^H2485 , and mine heart ^H3820 ^NMS-1MS shall sound ^H1993 like pipes ^H2485 for ^H413 ^PREP the men ^H376 ^CMP of Kir ^H7025 - heres : because ^H5921 ^PREP the riches ^H3502 that he hath gotten ^H6213 ^VQQ3MS are perished ^H6 .

37 For ^H3588 ^CONJ every ^H3605 ^NMS head ^H7218 ^NMS shall be bald ^H7144 , and every ^H3605 ^NMS beard ^H2206 clipped ^H1639 : upon ^H5921 ^PREP all ^H3605 ^NMS the hands ^H3027 ^NFD shall be cuttings ^H1418 , and upon ^H5921 ^PREP the loins ^H4975 sackcloth ^H8242 .

38 There shall be lamentation ^H4553 generally ^H3605 ^NMS upon ^H5921 ^PREP all ^H3605 ^NMS the housetops ^H1406 of Moab ^H4124 , and in the streets ^H7339 thereof : for ^H3588 ^CONJ I have broken ^H7665 Moab ^H4124 like a vessel ^H3627 wherein is no ^H369 ^ADV pleasure ^H2656 , saith ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068 ^NAME-4MS .

39 They shall howl ^H3213 , saying , How ^H349 is it broken down ^H2865 ! how ^H349 hath Moab ^H4124 turned ^H6437 the back ^H6203 with shame ^H954 ! so shall Moab ^H4124 be ^H1961 ^W-VQQ3MS a derision ^H7814 and a dismaying ^H4288 to all ^H3605 ^L-CMS them about ^H5439 him .

40 For ^H3588 ^CONJ thus ^H3541 saith ^H559 ^VQQ3MS the LORD ^H3068 ^EDS ; Behold ^H2009 ^IJEC , he shall fly ^H1675 as an eagle ^H5404 , and shall spread ^H6566 his wings ^H3671 over ^H413 ^PREP Moab ^H4124 .

41 Kerioth ^H7152 is taken ^H3920 , and the strongholds ^H4679 are surprised ^H8610 , and the mighty men ^H1368 \'s hearts ^H3820 ^NMS in Moab ^H4124 at that ^H1931 ^D-PPRO-3MS day ^H3117 ^B-AMS shall be ^H1961 ^W-VQQ3MS as the heart ^H3820 ^NMS of a woman ^H802 ^NFS in her pangs ^H6887 .
