Erven Parallel Bible with Kjvp for Jeremiah 48 14

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 the LORD ^H3068 of hosts, ^H6635 the God ^H430 of Israel; ^H3478 Woe ^H1945 unto ^H413 Nebo ^H5015 ! for ^H3588 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 more ^H5750 praise ^H8416 of Moab: ^H4124 in Heshbon ^H2809 they have devised ^H2803 evil ^H7451 against ^H5921 it; come, ^H1980 and let us cut it off ^H3772 from being a nation ^H4480 ^H1471 . Also ^H1571 thou shalt be cut down, ^H1826 O Madmen; ^H4086 the sword ^H2719 shall pursue ^H1980 ^H310 thee.

3 A voice ^H6963 of crying ^H6818 shall be from Horonaim ^H4480 ^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 in the going up ^H4608 of Luhith ^H3872 continual weeping ^H1065 ^H1065 shall go up; ^H5927 for ^H3588 in the going down ^H4174 of Horonaim ^H2773 the enemies ^H6862 have heard ^H8085 a cry ^H6818 of destruction. ^H7667

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

7 For ^H3588 because ^H3282 thou hast trusted ^H982 in thy works ^H4639 and in thy treasures, ^H214 thou ^H859 shalt also ^H1571 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 upon ^H413 every ^H3605 city, ^H5892 and no ^H3808 city ^H5892 shall escape: ^H4422 the valley ^H6010 also shall perish, ^H6 and the plain ^H4334 shall be destroyed, ^H8045 as ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 hath spoken. ^H559

9 Give ^H5414 wings ^H6731 unto Moab, ^H4124 that ^H3588 it may flee ^H5323 and get away: ^H3318 for the cities ^H5892 thereof shall be ^H1961 desolate, ^H8047 without any ^H4480 ^H369 to dwell ^H3427 therein. ^H2004

10 Cursed ^H779 be he that doeth ^H6213 the work ^H4399 of the LORD ^H3068 deceitfully, ^H7423 and cursed ^H779 be he that keepeth back ^H4513 his sword ^H2719 from blood ^H4480 ^H1818 .

11 Moab ^H4124 hath been at ease ^H7599 from his youth ^H4480 ^H5271 , and he ^H1931 hath settled ^H8252 on ^H413 his lees, ^H8105 and hath not ^H3808 been emptied ^H7324 from vessel ^H4480 ^H3627 to ^H413 vessel, ^H3627 neither ^H3808 hath he gone ^H1980 into captivity: ^H1473 therefore ^H5921 ^H3651 his taste ^H2940 remained ^H5975 in him , and his scent ^H7381 is not ^H3808 changed. ^H4171

12 Therefore ^H3651 , behold, ^H2009 the days ^H3117 come, ^H935 saith ^H5002 the LORD, ^H3068 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 ^H4480 ^H3645 , as ^H834 the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 was ashamed ^H954 of Bethel ^H4480 ^H1008 their confidence. ^H4009

14 How ^H349 say ^H559 ye, We ^H587 are mighty ^H1368 and strong ^H2428 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 whose name ^H8034 is the LORD ^H3068 of hosts. ^H6635

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

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

18 Thou daughter ^H1323 that dost inhabit ^H3427 Dibon, ^H1769 come down ^H3381 from thy glory ^H4480 ^H3519 , and sit ^H3427 in thirst; ^H6772 for ^H3588 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 the way, ^H1870 and espy; ^H6822 ask ^H7592 him that fleeth, ^H5127 and her that escapeth, ^H4422 and say, ^H559 What ^H4100 is ^H1961 done?

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

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

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

23 And upon ^H5921 Kiriathaim, ^H7156 and upon ^H5921 Beth- ^H1014 gamul , and upon ^H5921 Bethmeon, ^H1010

24 And upon ^H5921 Kerioth, ^H7152 and upon ^H5921 Bozrah, ^H1224 and upon ^H5921 all ^H3605 the cities ^H5892 of the land ^H776 of Moab, ^H4124 far ^H7350 or near. ^H7138

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

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

27 For ^H518 was ^H1961 not ^H3808 Israel ^H3478 a derision ^H7814 unto thee? was he found ^H4672 among thieves ^H1590 ? for ^H3588 since ^H4480 ^H1767 thou spakest ^H1697 of him , thou skippedst for joy. ^H5110

28 O ye that dwell ^H3427 in Moab, ^H4124 leave ^H5800 the cities, ^H5892 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's ^H6354 mouth. ^H6310

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

30 I ^H589 know ^H3045 his wrath, ^H5678 saith ^H5002 the LORD; ^H3068 but it shall not ^H3808 be so; ^H3651 his lies ^H907 shall not ^H3808 so ^H3651 effect ^H6213 it .

31 Therefore ^H5921 ^H3651 will I howl ^H3213 for ^H5921 Moab, ^H4124 and I will cry out ^H2199 for all ^H3605 Moab; ^H4124 mine heart shall mourn ^H1897 for ^H413 the men ^H376 of Kir- ^H7025 heres.

32 O vine ^H1612 of Sibmah, ^H7643 I will weep ^H1058 for thee with the weeping ^H4480 ^H1065 of Jazer: ^H3270 thy plants ^H5189 are gone over ^H5674 the sea, ^H3220 they reach ^H5060 even to ^H5704 the sea ^H3220 of Jazer: ^H3270 the spoiler ^H7703 is fallen ^H5307 upon ^H5921 thy summer fruits ^H7019 and upon ^H5921 thy vintage. ^H1210

33 And joy ^H8057 and gladness ^H1524 is taken ^H622 from the plentiful field ^H4480 ^H3759 , and from the land ^H4480 ^H776 of Moab; ^H4124 and I have caused wine ^H3196 to fail ^H7673 from the winepresses ^H4480 ^H3342 : none ^H3808 shall tread ^H1869 with shouting; ^H1959 their shouting ^H1959 shall be no ^H3808 shouting. ^H1959

34 From the cry ^H4480 ^H2201 of Heshbon ^H2809 even unto ^H5704 Elealeh, ^H500 and even unto ^H5704 Jahaz, ^H3096 have they uttered ^H5414 their voice, ^H6963 from Zoar ^H4480 ^H6820 even unto ^H5704 Horonaim, ^H2773 as a heifer ^H5697 of three years old: ^H7992 for ^H3588 the waters ^H4325 also ^H1571 of Nimrim ^H5249 shall be ^H1961 desolate. ^H4923

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

36 Therefore ^H5921 ^H3651 mine heart ^H3820 shall sound ^H1993 for Moab ^H4124 like pipes, ^H2485 and mine heart ^H3820 shall sound ^H1993 like pipes ^H2485 for ^H413 the men ^H376 of Kir- ^H7025 heres: because ^H5921 ^H3651 the riches ^H3502 that he hath gotten ^H6213 are perished. ^H6

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

38 There shall be lamentation ^H4553 generally ^H3605 upon ^H5921 all ^H3605 the housetops ^H1406 of Moab, ^H4124 and in the streets ^H7339 thereof: for ^H3588 I have broken ^H7665 ^H853 Moab ^H4124 like a vessel ^H3627 wherein is no ^H369 pleasure, ^H2656 saith ^H5002 the LORD. ^H3068

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 a derision ^H7814 and a dismaying ^H4288 to all ^H3605 them about ^H5439 him.

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

41 Kerioth ^H7152 is taken, ^H3920 and the strongholds ^H4679 are surprised, ^H8610 and the mighty men's ^H1368 hearts ^H3820 in Moab ^H4124 at that ^H1931 day ^H3117 shall be ^H1961 as the heart ^H3820 of a woman ^H802 in her pangs. ^H6887

42 And Moab ^H4124 shall be destroyed ^H8045 from being a people ^H4480 ^H5971 , because ^H3588 he hath magnified ^H1431 himself against ^H5921 the LORD. ^H3068

43 Fear ^H6343 , and the pit, ^H6354 and the snare, ^H6341 shall be upon ^H5921 thee , O inhabitant ^H3427 of Moab, ^H4124 saith ^H5002 the LORD. ^H3068

44 He that fleeth ^H5211 from ^H4480 ^H6440 the fear ^H6343 shall fall ^H5307 into ^H413 the pit; ^H6354 and he that getteth up ^H5927 out of ^H4480 the pit ^H6354 shall be taken ^H3920 in the snare: ^H6341 for ^H3588 I will bring ^H935 upon ^H413 it, even upon ^H413 Moab, ^H4124 the year ^H8141 of their visitation, ^H6486 saith ^H5002 the LORD. ^H3068

45 They that fled ^H5127 stood ^H5975 under the shadow ^H6738 of Heshbon ^H2809 because of the force ^H4480 ^H3581 : but ^H3588 a fire ^H784 shall come forth ^H3318 out of Heshbon ^H4480 ^H2809 , and a flame ^H3852 from the midst ^H4480 ^H996 of Sihon, ^H5511 and shall devour ^H398 the corner ^H6285 of Moab, ^H4124 and the crown of the head ^H6936 of the tumultuous ^H7588 ones. ^H1121

46 Woe ^H188 be unto thee , O Moab ^H4124 ! the people ^H5971 of Chemosh ^H3645 perisheth: ^H6 for ^H3588 thy sons ^H1121 are taken ^H3947 captives, ^H7628 and thy daughters ^H1323 captives. ^H7633

47 Yet will I bring again ^H7725 the captivity ^H7622 of Moab ^H4124 in the latter ^H319 days, ^H3117 saith ^H5002 the LORD. ^H3068 Thus ^H2008 far ^H5704 is the judgment ^H4941 of Moab. ^H4124
