Jeremiah 48:4 in context
Jeremiah 48:1–7
1
Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says:
“Woe to Nebo!
For it is laid waste.
Kiriathaim is disappointed.
It is taken.
Misgab is put to shame
and broken down.
2
The praise of Moab is no more.
In Heshbon they have devised evil against her:
‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’
You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence.
The sword will pursue you.
3
The sound of a cry from Horonaim,
desolation and great destruction!
4
Selected verse
Moab is destroyed.
Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5
For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping.
For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6
Flee! Save your lives!
Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
7
For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures,
you also will be taken.
Chemosh will go out into captivity,
his priests and his princes together.
