⥃The Burden against Moab ^{[ Jeremiah 48:1–47 ]}

[1] The burden² of Moab³. Because in the⁴ night Ar⁵ of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to silence⁶; because in the night Kir⁷ of Moab is laid waste, [and] brought to silence; [2] He is gone⁸ up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab⁹ shall howl over Nebo¹⁰, and over Medeba¹¹: on all¹² their heads [shall be] baldness, [and] every beard cut off. [3] In their streets¹³ they shall gird themselves with sackcloth: on the¹⁴ tops of their houses, and in their streets, every one shall howl, weeping abundantly¹⁵. [4] And Heshbon¹⁶ shall cry, and Elealeh: their voice shall be heard [even] unto Jahaz¹⁷: therefore the armed soldiers of Moab shall cry out; his¹⁸ life shall be grievous unto him. [5] My heart¹⁹ shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives²⁰ [shall flee] unto Zoar²¹, an heifer of three²² years old: for by the mounting²³ up of Luhith with²⁴ weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction²⁵. [6] For the waters of Nimrim²⁶ shall be desolate²⁷: for the hay is withered away, the grass²⁸ faileth, there is no green thing. [7] Therefore the abundance²⁹ they have gotten, and that which they have laid up, shall they carry away to the³⁰ brook of the willows³¹. [8] For the cry³² is gone round about the borders of Moab; the howling thereof unto Eglaim³³, and the howling thereof unto Beer–elim. [9] For the waters of Dimon³⁴ shall be full of blood: for I will bring more³⁵ upon Dimon, lions³⁶ upon him³⁷ that escapeth of Moab, and upon the remnant of the land.
