Jr 48 (King James)

   ¹ Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed. ² There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee. ³ A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction. ⁴ Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard. ⁵ For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. ⁶ Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. ⁷ For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together. ⁸ And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken. ⁹ Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein. ¹⁰ Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood. ¹¹ Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed. ¹² Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles. ¹³ And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
   ¹⁴ How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war? ¹⁵ Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. ¹⁶ The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast. ¹⁷ All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod! ¹⁸ Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds. ¹⁹ O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What is done? ²⁰ Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled, ²¹ And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath, ²² And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim, ²³ And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon, ²⁴ And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. ²⁵ The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD. ²⁶ Make ye him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision. ²⁷ For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy. ²⁸ O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth. ²⁹ We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart. ³⁰ I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it. ³¹ Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres. ³² O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage. ³³ And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting. ³⁴ From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate. ³⁵ Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods. ³⁶ Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he hath gotten are perished. ³⁷ For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. ³⁸ There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the LORD. ³⁹ They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him. ⁴⁰ For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab. ⁴¹ Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. ⁴² And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against the LORD. ⁴³ Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the LORD. ⁴⁴ He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD. ⁴⁵ They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones. ⁴⁶ Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives. ⁴⁷ Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

Jr 48 (Vulgate)

   ¹ Ad Moab. [Hæc dicit Dominus exercituum, Deus Israël :
Væ super Nabo, quoniam vastata est, et confusa !
capta est Cariathaim, confusa est fortis, et tremuit.
   ² Non est ultra exsultatio in Moab contra Hesebon :
cogitaverunt malum : Venite, et disperdamus eam de gente.
Ergo silens conticesces, sequeturque te gladius.
   ³ Vox clamoris de Oronaim, vastitas et contritio magna.
   ⁴ Contrita est Moab : annuntiate clamorem parvulis ejus.
   ⁵ Per ascensum enim Luith
plorans ascendet in fletu,
quoniam in descensu Oronaim
hostes ululatum contritionis audierunt.
   ⁶ Fugite, salvate animas vestras,
et eritis quasi myricæ in deserto :
   ⁷ pro eo enim quod habuisti fiduciam
in munitionibus tuis et in thesauris tuis,
tu quoque capieris :
et ibit Chamos in transmigrationem,
sacerdotes ejus et principes ejus simul.
   ⁸ Et veniet prædo ad omnem urbem,
et urbs nulla salvabitur :
et peribunt valles,
et dissipabuntur campestria,
quoniam dixit Dominus :
   ⁹ Date florem Moab, quia florens egredietur :
et civitates ejus desertæ erunt, et inhabitabiles.
   ¹⁰ Maledictus qui facit opus Domini fraudulenter,
et maledictus qui prohibet gladium suum a sanguine.
   ¹¹ Fertilis fuit Moab ab adolescentia sua,
et requievit in fæcibus suis :
nec transfusus est de vase in vas,
et in transmigrationem non abiit :
idcirco permansit gustus ejus in eo,
et odor ejus non est immutatus.
   ¹² Propterea ecce dies veniunt, dicit Dominus,
et mittam ei ordinatores et stratores laguncularum :
et sternent eum, et vasa ejus exhaurient,
et lagunculas eorum collident.
   ¹³ Et confundetur Moab a Chamos
sicut confusa est domus Israël a Bethel,
in qua habebat fiduciam.
   ¹⁴ Quomodo dicitis : Fortes sumus,
et viri robusti ad præliandum ?
   ¹⁵ Vastata est Moab, et civitates illius succiderunt,
et electi juvenes ejus descenderunt in occisionem, ait Rex :
Dominus exercituum nomen ejus.
   ¹⁶ Prope est interitus Moab ut veniat,
et malum ejus velociter accurret nimis.
   ¹⁷ Consolamini eum, omnes qui estis in circuitu ejus :
et universi qui scitis nomen ejus, dicite :
Quomodo confracta est virga fortis,
baculus gloriosus ?
   ¹⁸ Descende de gloria, et sede in siti,
habitatio filiæ Dibon,
quoniam vastator Moab ascendit ad te :
dissipavit munitiones tuas.
   ¹⁹ In via sta, et prospice,
habitatio Aroër :
interroga fugientem,
et ei qui evasit dic : Quid accidit ?
   ²⁰ Confusus est Moab, quoniam victus est.
Ululate, et clamate :
annuntiate in Arnon,
quoniam vastata est Moab,
   ²¹ et judicium venit ad terram campestrem,
super Helon, et super Jasa,
et super Mephaath,
   ²² et super Dibon,
et super Nabo, et super domum Deblathaim,
   ²³ et super Cariathaim, et super Bethgamul,
et super Bethmaon,
   ²⁴ et super Carioth,
et super Bosra, et super omnes civitates terræ Moab,
quæ longe et quæ prope sunt.
   ²⁵ Abscissum est cornu Moab,
et brachium ejus contritum est, ait Dominus.
   ²⁶ Inebriate eum, quoniam contra Dominum erectus est :
et allidet manum Moab in vomitu suo,
et erit in derisum etiam ipse.
   ²⁷ Fuit enim in derisum tibi Israël :
quasi inter fures reperisses eum :
propter verba ergo tua quæ adversum illum locutus es,
captivus duceris.
   ²⁸ Relinquite civitates, et habitate in petra, habitatores Moab :
et estote quasi columba nidificans in summo ore foraminis.
   ²⁹ Audivimus superbiam Moab : superbus est valde :
sublimitatem ejus, et arrogantiam,
et superbiam, et altitudinem cordis ejus.
   ³⁰ Ego scio, ait Dominus, jactantiam ejus,
et quod non sit juxta eam virtus ejus,
nec juxta quod poterat conata sit facere.
   ³¹ Ideo super Moab ejulabo,
et ad Moab universam clamabo,
ad viros muri fictilis lamentantes :
   ³² de planctu Jazer plorabo tibi, vinea Sabama.
Propagines tuæ transierunt mare ;
usque ad mare Jazer pervenerunt :
super messem tuam et vindemiam tuam prædo irruit.
   ³³ Ablata est lætitia et exsultatio
de Carmelo et de terra Moab,
et vinum de torcularibus sustuli :
nequaquam calcator uvæ solitum celeuma cantabit.
   ³⁴ De clamore Hesebon usque Eleale et Jasa, dederunt vocem suam ;
a Segor usque ad Oronaim, vitula conternante :
aquæ quoque Nemrim pessimæ erunt.
   ³⁵ Et auferam de Moab, ait Dominus,
offerentem in excelsis,
et sacrificantem diis ejus.
   ³⁶ Propterea cor meum ad Moab quasi tibiæ resonabit,
et cor meum ad viros muri fictilis dabit sonitum tibiarum :
quia plus fecit quam potuit,
idcirco perierunt.
   ³⁷ Omne enim caput calvitium,
et omnis barba rasa erit :
in cunctis manibus colligatio,
et super omne dorsum cilicium :
   ³⁸ super omnia tecta Moab, et in plateis ejus,
omnis planctus :
quoniam contrivi Moab
sicut vas inutile, ait Dominus.
   ³⁹ Quomodo victa est, et ululaverunt ?
quomodo dejecit cervicem Moab, et confusus est ?
eritque Moab in derisum, et in exemplum omnibus in circuitu suo.
   ⁴⁰ Hæc dicit Dominus :
Ecce quasi aquila volabit,
et extendet alas suas ad Moab.
   ⁴¹ Capta est Carioth, et munitiones comprehensæ sunt :
et erit cor fortium Moab in die illa
sicut cor mulieris parturientis,
   ⁴² et cessabit Moab esse populus,
quoniam contra Dominum gloriatus est.
   ⁴³ Pavor, et fovea,
et laqueus super te,
o habitator Moab, dicit Dominus.
   ⁴⁴ Qui fugerit a facie pavoris cadet in foveam,
et qui conscenderit de fovea capietur laqueo :
adducam enim super Moab annum visitationis eorum, ait Dominus.
   ⁴⁵ In umbra Hesebon steterunt de laqueo fugientes,
quia ignis egressus est de Hesebon,
et flamma de medio Seon :
et devorabit partem Moab,
et verticem filiorum tumultus.
   ⁴⁶ Væ tibi, Moab :
periisti, popule Chamos,
quia comprehensi sunt filii tui
et filiæ tuæ in captivitatem.
   ⁴⁷ Et convertam captivitatem Moab in novissimis diebus, ait Dominus.] Hucusque judicia Moab.
