Yirmeyahu 48:1-11 ירמיהו מ״ח:א׳-י״א

Against Mo᾽av thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Yisra᾽el; Woe to Nevo! for it is spoiled: Qiryatayim is confounded and taken: Misgav is confounded and dismayed.

There shall be no more praise of Mo᾽av: in Ḥeshbon 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.

A voice of crying shall come from Ḥoronayim, spoiling and great destruction.

Mo᾽av is destroyed; her little ones have raised a cry.

For in the ascent of Luĥit with continual weeping shall they go up; for in the going down of Ḥoronayim they have heard the distressing cry of destruction.

Flee, save your lives, and be like the juniper tree in the wilderness.

For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Kemosh shall go out into exile, his priests and his princes together.

And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall be ruined, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the Lord has spoken.

Give wings to Mo᾽av, that it may flee and get away: for her cities shall be desolate, without any to dwell in them.

Cursed be he that does the work of the Lord negligently, and cursed be he that keeps back his sword from blood.

Mo᾽av has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into exile: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
