Jeremiah 48:2

A Message Concerning Moab

¹ This is what the Lord Jehovah said about [MOAB]: Pity the people of Nebo. Their town is destroyed! Kiriathaim is captured, its mighty fortress torn down, and its people put to shame. ² “There is praise for Moab no longer;
In Heshbon they have devised calamity against her:
‘Come and let us cut her off from being a nation!’
You too, Madmen, will be silenced;
The sword will follow after you.
³ The people of Horonaim cry out: Violence! Destruction!
