Jeremiah 48:24-33 World English Bible (WEB)

24. and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and 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 Yahweh.

26. “Make him drunken; for he magnified himself against Yahweh: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

27. For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? was he found among thieves? for as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.

28. You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.

29. “We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.

30. I know his wrath,” says Yahweh, “that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.

31. Therefore I will wail for Moab. Yes, I will cry out for all Moab. They shall mourn for the men of Kir Heres.

32. With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.

33. Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab. I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses. No one will tread with shouting. The shouting will be no shouting.
