Jeremiah 48:1

Verse 1 of 47. The 48th of 52 chapters in Jeremiah, in The Major Prophets.

1Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.

2The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.

3The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!

4Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

5For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
