Jeremiah 48:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Judgement on Moab

48 Concerning Moab.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:

Alas for Nebo, it is laid waste!
    Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken;
the fortress is put to shame and broken down;
²    the renown of Moab is no more.
In Heshbon they planned evil against her:
    ‘Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!’
You also, O Madmen, shall be brought to silence;^[a]
    the sword shall pursue you.

³Hark! a cry from Horonaim,
‘Desolation and great destruction!’
