New King James Version

Jeremiah 48:22-31 New King James Version (NKJV)

22. On Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim,

23. On Kirjathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,

24. On Kerioth and Bozrah,On all the cities of the land of Moab,Far or near.

25. The horn of Moab is cut off,And his arm is broken,” says the Lord.

26. “Make him drunk,Because he exalted himself against the Lord.Moab shall wallow in his vomit,And he shall also be in derision.

27. For was not Israel a derision to you?Was he found among thieves?For whenever you speak of him,You shake your head in scorn.

28. You who dwell in Moab,Leave the cities and dwell in the rock,And be like the dove which makes her nestIn the sides of the cave’s mouth.

29. “We have heard the pride of Moab(He is exceedingly proud),Of his loftiness and arrogance and pride,And of the haughtiness of his heart.”

30. “I know his wrath,” says the Lord,“But it is not right;His lies have made nothing right.

31. Therefore I will wail for Moab,And I will cry out for all Moab;I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
