1. Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame.
|
1. At the same H1931 time H6256 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , will I be H1961 the God H430 of all H3605 the families H4940 of Israel H3478 , and they H1992 shall be H1961 my people H5971 .
|
|
2. There is no longer any healing for Moab, nor glorying in Esebon: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from being a nation, and she shall be completely still: after thee shall go a sword;
|
2. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , The people H5971 which were left H8300 of the sword H2719 found H4672 grace H2580 in the wilderness H4057 ; even Israel H3478 , when I went H1980 to cause him to rest H7280 .
|
|
3. for there is a voice of men crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin.
|
3. The LORD H3068 hath appeared H7200 of old H4480 H7350 unto me, saying , Yea , I have loved H157 thee with an everlasting H5769 love H160 : therefore H5921 H3651 with lovingkindness H2617 have I drawn H4900 thee.
|
|
4. Moab is ruined, proclaim it to Zogora:
|
4. Again H5750 I will build H1129 thee , and thou shalt be built H1129 , O virgin H1330 of Israel H3478 : thou shalt again H5750 be adorned H5710 with thy tabrets H8596 , and shalt go forth H3318 in the dances H4234 of them that make merry H7832 .
|
|
5. for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; ye have heard a cry of destruction.
|
5. Thou shalt yet H5750 plant H5193 vines H3754 upon the mountains H2022 of Samaria H8111 : the planters H5193 shall plant H5193 , and shall eat them as common things H2490 .
|
|
6. Flee ye, and save your lives, and ye shall be as a wild ass in the desert.
|
6. For H3588 there shall be H3426 a day H3117 , that the watchmen H5341 upon the mount H2022 Ephraim H669 shall cry H7121 , Arise H6965 ye , and let us go up H5927 to Zion H6726 unto H413 the LORD H3068 our God H430 .
|
|
7. Since thou hast trusted in thy strong-hold, therefore thou shalt be taken: and Chamos shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together.
|
7. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Sing H7442 with gladness H8057 for Jacob H3290 , and shout H6670 among the chief H7218 of the nations H1471 : publish H8085 ye, praise H1984 ye , and say H559 , O LORD H3068 , save H3467 H853 thy people H5971 , H853 the remnant H7611 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
8. And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said.
|
8. Behold H2009 , I will bring H935 them from the north H6828 country H4480 H776 , and gather H6908 them from the coasts H4480 H3411 of the earth H776 , and with them the blind H5787 and the lame H6455 , the woman with child H2029 and her that travaileth with child H3205 together H3162 : a great H1419 company H6951 shall return H7725 thither H2008 .
|
|
9. Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be Or, kindled; q. d. with carbuncle touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence shall there be an inhabitant for her?
|
9. They shall come H935 with weeping H1065 , and with supplications H8469 will I lead H2986 them : I will cause them to walk H1980 by H413 the rivers H5158 of waters H4325 in a straight H3477 way H1870 , wherein they shall not H3808 stumble H3782 : for H3588 I am H1961 a father H1 to Israel H3478 , and Ephraim H669 is my firstborn H1060 .
|
|
10. Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood.
|
10. Hear H8085 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 , O ye nations H1471 , and declare H5046 it in the isles H339 afar off H4480 H4801 , and say H559 , He that scattered H2219 Israel H3478 will gather H6908 him , and keep H8104 him , as a shepherd H7462 doth his flock H5739 .
|
|
11. Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out his liquor from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not.
|
11. For H3588 the LORD H3068 hath redeemed H6299 H853 Jacob H3290 , and ransomed H1350 him from the hand H4480 H3027 of him that was stronger H2389 than H4480 he.
|
|
12. Therefore, behold, his days come, saith the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder.
|
12. Therefore they shall come H935 and sing H7442 in the height H4791 of Zion H6726 , and shall flow together H5102 to H413 the goodness H2898 of the LORD H3068 , for H5921 wheat H1715 , and for H5921 wine H8492 , and for H5921 oil H3323 , and for H5921 the young H1121 of the flock H6629 and of the herd H1241 : and their soul H5315 shall be H1961 as a watered H7302 garden H1588 ; and they shall not H3808 sorrow H1669 any more H3254 at all.
|
|
13. And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Baethel their hope, having trusted in them.
|
13. Then H227 shall the virgin H1330 rejoice H8055 in the dance H4234 , both young men H970 and old H2205 together H3162 : for I will turn H2015 their mourning H60 into joy H8342 , and will comfort H5162 them , and make them rejoice H8055 from their sorrow H4480 H3015 .
|
|
14. How will ye say, We are strong, and men strong for war?
|
14. And I will satiate H7301 the soul H5315 of the priests H3548 with fatness H1880 , and my people H5971 shall be satisfied with H7646 H853 my goodness H2898 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
15. Moab is ruined, even his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter.
|
15. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; A voice H6963 was heard H8085 in Ramah H7414 , lamentation H5092 , and bitter H8563 weeping H1065 ; Rachel H7354 weeping H1058 for H5921 her children H1121 refused H3985 to be comforted H5162 for H5921 her children H1121 , because H3588 they were not H369 .
|
|
16. The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly to vengeance.
|
16. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Refrain H4513 thy voice H6963 from weeping H4480 H1065 , and thine eyes H5869 from tears H4480 H1832 : for H3588 thy work H6468 shall be H3426 rewarded H7939 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 ; and they shall come again H7725 from the land H4480 H776 of the enemy H341 .
|
|
17. Shake the head at him, all ye that are round about him; all of you utter his name; say ye, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence!
|
17. And there is H3426 hope H8615 in thine end H319 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that thy children H1121 shall come again H7725 to their own border H1366 .
|
|
18. Come down from thy glory, and sit down in a damp place: Daebon shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against thee one to ravage thy strong-hold.
|
18. I have surely heard H8085 H8085 Ephraim H669 bemoaning himself H5110 thus ; Thou hast chastised H3256 me , and I was chastised H3256 , as a bullock H5695 unaccustomed H3808 H3925 to the yoke : turn H7725 thou me , and I shall be turned H7725 ; for H3588 thou H859 art the LORD H3068 my God H430 .
|
|
19. Stand by the way, and look, thou that dwellest in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened?
|
19. Surely H3588 after that H310 I was turned H7725 , I repented H5162 ; and after that H310 I was instructed H3045 , I smote H5606 upon H5921 my thigh H3409 : I was ashamed H954 , yea, even H1571 confounded H3637 , because H3588 I did bear H5375 the reproach H2781 of my youth H5271 .
|
|
20. Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished.
|
20. Is Ephraim H669 my dear H3357 son H1121 ? is he a pleasant H8191 child H3206 ? for H3588 since H4480 H1767 I spoke H1696 against him , I do earnestly remember H2142 H2142 him still H5750 : therefore H5921 H3651 my bowels H4578 are troubled H1993 for him ; I will surely have mercy H7355 H7355 upon him, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
21. And judgement is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas,
|
21. Set thee up H5324 waymarks H6725 , make H7760 thee high heaps H8564 : set H7896 thine heart H3820 toward the highway H4546 , even the way H1870 which thou wentest H1980 : turn again H7725 , O virgin H1330 of Israel H3478 , turn again H7725 to H413 these H428 thy cities H5892 .
|
|
22. and upon Daebon, and upon Nabau, and upon the house of Daethlathaim,
|
22. How long H5704 H4970 wilt thou go about H2559 , O thou backsliding H7728 daughter H1323 ? for H3588 the LORD H3068 hath created H1254 a new thing H2319 in the earth H776 , A woman H5347 shall compass H5437 a man H1397 .
|
|
23. and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gaemol, and upon the house of Maon,
|
23. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 , the God H430 of Israel H3478 ; As yet H5750 they shall use H559 H853 this H2088 speech H1697 in the land H776 of Judah H3063 and in the cities H5892 thereof , when I shall bring again H7725 H853 their captivity H7622 ; The LORD H3068 bless H1288 thee , O habitation H5116 of justice H6664 , and mountain H2022 of holiness H6944 .
|
|
24. and upon Carioth, and upon Bosor, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near.
|
24. And there shall dwell H3427 in Judah H3063 itself , and in all H3605 the cities H5892 thereof together H3162 , husbandmen H406 , and they that go forth H5265 with flocks H5739 .
|
|
25. The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed.
|
25. For H3588 I have satiated H7301 the weary H5889 soul H5315 , and I have replenished H4390 every H3605 sorrowful H1669 soul H5315 .
|
|
26. Make ye him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing-stock.
|
26. Upon H5921 this H2063 I awaked H6974 , and beheld H7200 ; and my sleep H8142 was sweet H6149 unto me.
|
|
27. For surely Israel was to thee a laughing-stock, and was found among thy thefts, because thou didst fight against him.
|
27. Behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that I will sow H2232 H853 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 and the house H1004 of Judah H3063 with the seed H2233 of man H120 , and with the seed H2233 of beast H929 .
|
|
28. The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and dwelt in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave.
|
28. And it shall come to pass H1961 , that like as H834 I have watched H8245 over H5921 them , to pluck up H5428 , and to break down H5422 , and to throw down H2040 , and to destroy H6 , and to afflict H7489 ; so H3651 will I watch H8245 over H5921 them , to build H1129 , and to plant H5193 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
29. And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up.
|
29. In those H1992 days H3117 they shall say H559 no H3808 more H5750 , The fathers H1 have eaten H398 a sour grape H1155 , and the children H1121 's teeth H8127 are set on edge H6949 .
|
|
30. But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus?
|
30. But H3588 H518 every one H376 shall die H4191 for his own iniquity H5771 : every H3605 man H120 that eateth H398 the sour grape H1155 , his teeth H8127 shall be set on edge H6949 .
|
|
31. Therefore howl ye for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men in a gloomy place. I will weep for thee,
|
31. Behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that I will make H3772 a new H2319 covenant H1285 with H854 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 , and with H854 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 :
|
|
32. O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: thy branches are gone Gr. through over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon thy Or, harvest, or, corn fruits, and upon thy grape-gatherers.
|
32. Not H3808 according to the covenant H1285 that H834 I made H3772 with H854 their fathers H1 in the day H3117 that I took H2388 them by the hand H3027 to bring H3318 them out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 ; which H834 H853 my covenant H1285 they H1992 broke H6565 , although I H595 was a husband H1166 unto them, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 :
|
|
33. Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and though there was wine in thy presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy.
|
33. But H3588 this H2063 shall be the covenant H1285 that H834 I will make H3772 with H854 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 ; After H310 those H1992 days H3117 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , I will put H5414 H853 my law H8451 in their inward parts H7130 , and write H3789 it in H5921 their hearts H3820 ; and will be H1961 their God H430 , and they H1992 shall be H1961 my people H5971 .
|
|
34. From the cry of Esebon even to Alex. Eleale Ætam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings as a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be Gr. be for parching, or, burning dried up.
|
34. And they shall teach H3925 no H3808 more H5750 every man H376 H853 his neighbor H7453 , and every man H376 H853 his brother H251 , saying H559 , Know H3045 H853 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 they shall all H3605 know H3045 me , from the least H4480 H6996 of them unto H5704 the greatest H1419 of them, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 I will forgive H5545 their iniquity H5771 , and I will remember H2142 their sin H2403 no H3808 more H5750 .
|
|
35. And I will destroy Moab, saith the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods.
|
35. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , which giveth H5414 the sun H8121 for a light H216 by day H3119 , and the ordinances H2708 of the moon H3394 and of the stars H3556 for a light H216 by night H3915 , which divideth H7280 the sea H3220 when the waves H1530 thereof roar H1993 ; The LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 is his name H8034 :
|
|
36. Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what every man has gained has perished from him.
|
36. If H518 those H428 ordinances H2706 depart H4185 from before H4480 H6440 me, saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , then the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 also H1571 shall cease H7673 from being H4480 H1961 a nation H1471 before H6440 me forever H3605 H3117 .
|
|
37. They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall Or, be cut beat the breasts, and on all loins shall be sackcloth.
|
37. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; If H518 heaven H8064 above H4480 H4605 can be measured H4058 , and the foundations H4146 of the earth H776 searched out H2713 beneath H4295 , I H589 will also H1571 cast off H3988 all H3605 the seed H2233 of Israel H3478 for H5921 all H3605 that H834 they have done H6213 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
38. And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets shall be mourning: for I have broken him, saith the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless.
|
38. Behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that the city H5892 shall be built H1129 to the LORD H3068 from the tower H4480 H4026 of Hananeel H2606 unto the gate H8179 of the corner H6438 .
|
|
39. How has he See Hebrew changed! how has Moab turned his back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing-stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about Gr. her him.
|
39. And the measuring H4060 line H6957 shall yet H5750 go forth H3318 over against H5048 it upon H5921 the hill H1389 Gareb H1619 , and shall compass about H5437 to Goath H1601 .
|
|
40. For thus said the Lord;
|
40. And the whole H3605 valley H6010 of the dead bodies H6297 , and of the ashes H1880 , and all H3605 the fields H8309 unto H5704 the brook H5158 of Kidron H6939 , unto H5704 the corner H6438 of the horse H5483 gate H8179 toward the east H4217 , shall be holy H6944 unto the LORD H3068 ; it shall not H3808 be plucked up H5428 , nor H3808 thrown down H2040 any more H5750 forever H5769 .
|
|
41. Carioth is taken, and the strong-holds have been taken together.
|
41.
|
|
42. And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord.
|
42.
|
|
43. A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon thee, O inhabitant off Moab.
|
43.
|
|
44. he that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation.
