Yirmeyah 48:14-29 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

14. How say ye, We are gibborim and anshei chayil for the milchamah?

15. Moav is destroyed, and gone up out of her towns, and his chosen bochurim are gone down to the slaughter, saith HaMelech Hashem Tzva'os Shmo.

16. The calamity of Moav is near at hand, and his affliction hasteth fast.

17. All ye that are around him, bemoan him; and all ye that know shmo, say, How is the matteh oz (strong staff) broken, and the beautiful rod!

18. Thou Bat that dost inhabit Divon, come down from thy kavod, and sit on parched ground; for the plunderer of Moav shall come upon thee, and he shall destroy thy strongholds.

19. O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the derech, and watch; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, and say, What has happened?

20. Moav is shamed; for it is broken down: wail and cry out; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moav is destroyed,

21. And mishpat is come upon the plain; upon Cholon, and upon Yahtzah, and upon Mepha'at,

22. And upon Divon, and upon Nevo, and upon Beit-Divlatayim,

23. And upon Kiryatayim, and upon Beit-Gamul, and upon Beit-Me'on,

24. And upon Keriot, and upon Botzrah, and upon all the towns of Eretz Moav, far or near.

25. The keren of Moav is cut off, and his zero'a is broken, saith Hashem.

26. Make ye him drunken; for he magnified himself against Hashem; Moav also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

27. For was not Yisroel a derision unto thee? Was he found among ganavim (thieves)? For since thou spoke of him, thou dost scornful head wagging.

28. O ye that dwell in Moav, leave the towns, and dwell in the rock, and be like the yonah that maketh her nest in the sides of the cave's mouth.

29. We have heard the ga'on Moav, (he is exceeding proud), his highmindedness, and his conceit, and his ga'avah, and the haughtiness of his lev.
