  48:1 ¶
Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nebo{gr.Nabau}! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame. |
|
48:1 ¶
Against Moab°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
Sabaoth,°
the Elohim°
of Israel;°
Woe°
unto°
Nebo!°
for°
it is spoiled:°°
Kiriathaim°
is confounded°°
[and] taken:°°
Misgab°
is confounded°°
and dismayed.°° |
|
48:2
There is no longer any healing for Moab, [nor] glorying in Heshbon{gr.Esebon}: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from [being] a nation, and she shall be completely still: after thee shall go a sword; |
|
48:2
[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.° |
|
48:3
for [there is] a voice of [men] crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin. |
|
48:3
A voice°
of crying°
[shall be] from Horonaim,°°
spoiling°
and great°
destruction.° |
|
48:4
Moab is ruined, proclaim [it] to Zogora: |
|
48:4
Moab°
is destroyed;°°
her little ones°
have caused a cry°
to be heard.°° |
|
48:5
for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; ye have heard a cry of destruction. |
|
48:5
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.° |
|
48:6
Flee ye, and save your lives, and ye shall be as a wild ass in the desert. |
|
48:6
Flee,°°
save°°
your lives,°
and be°°
like the heath°
in the wilderness.° |
|
48:7 ¶
Since thou hast trusted in thy strong-hold, therefore thou shalt be taken: and Chemosh{gr.Chamos} shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together. |
|
48:7 ¶
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.° |
|
48:8
And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said. |
|
48:8
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°
Yahweh°
hath spoken.°° |
|
48:9
Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence [shall there be] an inhabitant for her? |
|
48:9
Give°°
wings°
unto Moab,°
that°
it may flee°°
and get away:°°
for the cities°
thereof shall be°
desolate,°
without any°°
to dwell°°
therein.° |
|
48:10
Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood. |
|
48:10
Cursed°°
[be] he that doeth°°
the work°
of Yahweh°
deceitfully,°
and cursed°°
[be] he that keepeth back°°
his sword°
from blood.°° |
|
48:11 ¶
Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out [his liquor] from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not. |
|
48:11 ¶
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.°° |
|
48:12
Therefore, behold, his days come, saith the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder. |
|
48:12
Therefore,°
behold,°
the days°
come,°°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
that I will send°°
unto him wanderers,°°
that shall cause him to wander,°°
and shall empty°°
his vessels,°
and break°°
their bottles.° |
|
48:13
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh{gr.Chamos}, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel{gr.Baethel} their hope, having trusted in them. |
|
48:13
And Moab°
shall be ashamed°°
of Chemosh,°°
as°
the house°
of Israel°
was ashamed°°
of Bethel°°
their confidence.° |
|
48:14 ¶
How will ye say, We are strong, and men strong for war? |
|
48:14 ¶
How°
say°°
ye, We°
[are] mighty°
and strong°
men°°
for the war?° |
|
48:15
Moab is ruined, [even] his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter. |
|
48:15
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] Yahweh°
Sabaoth.° |
|
48:16
The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly [to vengeance]. |
|
48:16
The calamity°
of Moab°
[is] near°
to come,°°
and his affliction°
hasteth°°
fast.° |
|
48:17
Shake [the head] at him, all ye that are round about him; all [of you] utter his name; say ye, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence! |
|
48:17
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!° |
|
48:18
Come down from [thy] glory, and sit down in a damp place: Dibon{gr.Daebon} shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against thee one to ravage thy strong-hold. |
|
48:18
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.° |
|
48:19
Stand by the way, and look, thou that dwellest in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened? |
|
48:19
O inhabitant°°
of Aroer,°
stand°°
by°
the way,°
and espy;°°
ask°°
him that fleeth,°°
and her that escapeth,°°
[and] say,°°
What°
is°
done?°° |
|
48:20
Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished. |
|
48:20
Moab°
is confounded;°°
for°
it is broken down:°°
howl°°
and cry;°°
tell°°
ye it in Arnon,°
that°
Moab°
is spoiled,°° |
|
48:21
And judgment is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas, |
|
48:21
And judgment°
is come°°
upon°
the plain°
country;°
upon°
Holon,°
and upon°
Jahazah,°
and upon°
Mephaath,° |
|
48:22
and upon Dibon{gr.Daebon}, and upon Nebo{gr.Nabau}, and upon the house of Daethlathaim, |
|
48:22
And upon°
Dibon,°
and upon°
Nebo,°
and upon°
Bethdiblathaim,° |
|
48:23
and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gaemol, and upon the house of Maon, |
|
48:23
And upon°
Kiriathaim,°
and upon°
Bethgamul,°
and upon°
Bethmeon,° |
|
48:24
and upon Carioth, and upon Bezer{gr.Bosor}, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near. |
|
48:24
And upon°
Kerioth,°
and upon°
Bozrah,°
and upon°
all°
the cities°
of the land°
of Moab,°
far°
or near.° |
|
48:25
The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed. |
|
48:25
The horn°
of Moab°
is cut off,°°
and his arm°
is broken,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
48:26 ¶
Make ye him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing-stock. |
|
48:26 ¶
Make ye him drunken:°°
for°
he magnified°°
[himself] against°
Yahweh:°
Moab°
also shall wallow°°
in his vomit,°
and he°
also°
shall be°
in derision.° |
|
48:27
For surely Israel was to thee a laughing-stock, and was found among thy thefts, because thou didst fight against him. |
|
48:27
For°
was°
not°
Israel°
a derision°
unto thee? was he found°°
among thieves?°
for°
since°°
thou spakest°
of him, thou skippedst°°
for joy.° |
|
48:28
The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and dwelt in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave. |
|
48:28
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.° |
|
48:29
And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up. |
|
48:29
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.° |
|
48:30
But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus? |
|
48:30
I°
know°°
his wrath,°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
but [it shall] not°
[be] so;°
his lies°
shall not°
so°
effect°°
[it]. |
|
48:31
Therefore howl ye for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men [in] a gloomy place. I will weep for thee, |
|
48:31
Therefore°°
will I howl°°
for°
Moab,°
and I will cry out°°
for all°
Moab;°
[mine heart] shall mourn°°
for°
the men°°
of Kirheres.° |
|
48:32
O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: thy branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon thy fruits, [and] upon thy grape-gatherers. |
|
48:32
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.° |
|
48:33
Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and [though] there was wine in thy presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy. |
|
48:33
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.° |
|
48:34
From the cry of Heshbon{gr.Esebon} even to Aetam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings [as] a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up. |
|
48:34
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.° |
|
48:35
And I will destroy Moab, saith the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods. |
|
48:35
Moreover I will cause to cease°°
in Moab,°
saith°°
Yahweh,°
him that offereth°°
in the high places,°
and him that burneth incense°°
to his elohim.° |
|
48:36
Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what [every] man has gained has perished from him. |
|
48:36
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.°° |
|
48:37
They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat [the breasts], and on all loins shall be sackcloth. |
|
48:37
For°
every°
head°
[shall be] bald,°
and every°
beard°
clipped:°°
upon°
all°
the hands°
[shall be] cuttings,°°
and upon°
the loins°
sackcloth.° |
|
48:38
And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets [shall be mourning]: for I have broken [him], saith the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless. |
|
48:38
[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°°
Yahweh.° |
|
48:39
How has he changed! how has Moab turned [his] back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing-stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about him. |
|
48:39
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. |
|
48:40
For thus said the Lord; |
|
48:40
For°
thus°
saith°°
Yahweh;°
Behold,°
he shall fly°°
as an eagle,°
and shall spread°°
his wings°
over°
Moab.° |
|
48:41
Carioth is taken, and the strong-holds have been taken together. |
|
48:41
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.°° |
|
48:42
And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord. |
|
48:42
And Moab°
shall be destroyed°°
from [being] a people,°°
because°
he hath magnified°°
[himself] against°
Yahweh.° |
|
48:43
A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon thee, O inhabitant off Moab. |
|
48:43
Fear,°
and the pit,°
and the snare,°
[shall be] upon°
thee, O inhabitant°°
of Moab,°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
48:44
He that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation. |
|
48:44
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°°
Yahweh.° |

[Absent from Manuscript] |

They that fled°°
stood°°
under the shadow°
of Heshbon°
because of the force:°°
but°
a fire°
shall come forth°°
out of Heshbon,°°

the corner°
of Moab,°

Woe°

captives,°

Yet will I bring again°°
