Jeremiah 48:26-39 - Moab Will Be Humbled

26 Make him drunk; for he was magnified against Jehovah, and Moab vomited forth in his vomit, and he was for a derision. 27 And if Israel was not a derision to thee? if he was found among thieves? for after thy speaking of him thou wilt move to and fro.

28 Those inhabiting Moab, forsook the cities and dwelt in the rock, and they were as the dove, she will nest in the regions beyond the mouth of the pit

29 We heard the pride of Moab; he was greatly lifted up; his haughtiness and his pride, and his lifting up, and the elation of his heart 30 I knew, says Jehovah, his wrath; and not thus; his empty talks did not so. 31 For this I will wait for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; it shall grieve for the men of Kirheres. 32 With the weeping of Jazer, I will weep for thee, O vine of Sibmah: thy tendrils passed over the sea, even to the sea of Jazer they reached: he laying waste fell upon thy fruit harvest, and upon thy vintage. 33 And joy and gladness was taken away from Carmel, and from the land of Moab; and I caused wine to cease from the wine vats: they shall not tread the shout of joy; the shout of joy, not the shout of joy.

34 From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealah, even to Jahaz, they gave their voice from Zoar even to Horonaim, a heifer of the third year: for also the waters of Nimrim shall be for desolations. 35 And I caused to cease to shout, says Jehovah, him bringing up to the height, and him burning incense to his gods. 36 For this, my heart shall sound for Moab as pipes, and my heart shall sound for the men of Kirheres as pipes: for the riches he made perished. 37 For every head bald, and every beard shaved: upon all hands cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. 38 Upon all the roof of Moab, and in the streets altogether lamentation: for I brake Moab as a vessel, no delight in it, says Jehovah. 39 How was it broken they wailed; how did Moab turn back the neck with shame and Moab was for derision and for terror to all round about him.
