(Jeremiah 48:1–47)
1
A declaration about Moab. Indeed, in one night Ar of Moab is laid waste and destroyed; indeed, in one night Kir of Moab is laid waste and destroyed.
2
They have gone up to the temple, the people of Dibon went up to the heights to weep; Moab laments over Nebo and over Medeba. All their heads are shaved bare and all their beards are cut off.
3
In their streets they wear sackcloth; on their housetops and in the square everyone wails, melting in tears.
4
Heshbon and Elealeh call out for help; their sound is heard as far as Jahaz. So the armed men of Moab call out for help; they tremble within themselves.
5
My heart cries out for Moab; her fugitives flee to Zoar and to Eglath Shelishiyah. They go up the ascent of Luhith weeping; on the road to Horonaim they loudly wail over their destruction.
6
The waters of Nimrim have dried up; the grass is withered away and the new grass dies; nothing is green.
7
The abundance they have grown and stored they carry away over the brook of the poplars.
8
The cry has gone around the territory of Moab; the wailing as far as Eglaim and Beer Elim.
9
For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; but I will bring even more upon Dimon. A lion will attack those who escape from Moab and also those remaining in the land.
