Jeremiah 48:1-5 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Concerning Moab:The Lord of heavenly forces,the God of Israel, proclaims:How awful for Nebo;it lies in ruins.Kirathaim is captured and shamed;the fortress is disgraced,reduced to rubble.

2. No one sings Moab’s praise any longer!In Heshbon they are hatchinga plot against her:"Come, let’s bring down the nation!"You too, madmen, will be silenced;the sword will pursue you.

3. Listen to the cries for help from Horonaim:"Destruction and massive devastation!"

4. Moab is shattered;its young cry for help.

5. On the way up to Luhith,there is uncontrollable weeping.On the way down to Horonaim,they hear sobs of anguish.
