Jeremiah, starting at chapter 46
{46:1} The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet
concerning the nations. {46:2} Of Egypt: concerning the army of
Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in
Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth
year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah. {46:3} Prepare the
buckler and shield, and draw near to battle! {46:4} Harness the
horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets;
furbish the spears, put on the coats of mail. {46:5} Why have I seen
it? they are dismayed and are turned backward; and their mighty ones
are beaten down, and have fled apace, and don't look back: terror is
on every side, says the LORD. {46:6} Don't let the swift flee away,
nor the mighty man escape; in the north by the river Euphrates have
they stumbled and fallen. {46:7} Who is this who rises up like the
Nile, whose waters toss themselves like the rivers? {46:8} Egypt rises
up like the Nile, and his waters toss themselves like the rivers: and
he says, I will rise up, I will cover the earth; I will destroy cities
and its inhabitants. {46:9} Go up, you horses; and rage, you chariots;
and let the mighty men go forth: Cush and Put, who handle the shield;
and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow. {46:10} For that day is of
the Lord, the LORD of Hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge
him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour and be satiate, and
shall drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, the LORD of Hosts,
has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates. {46:11}
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain do
you use many medicines; there is no healing for you. {46:12} The
nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry;
for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they are fallen
both of them together. {46:13} The word that the LORD spoke to
Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should
come and strike the land of Egypt. {46:14} Declare in Egypt, and
publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes: say, Stand
forth, and prepare; for the sword has devoured around you. {46:15} Why
are your strong ones swept away? they didn't stand, because the LORD
pushed them. {46:16} He made many to stumble, yes, they fell one on
another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people,
and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword. {46:17} They
cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the
appointed time pass by. {46:18} As I live, says the King, whose name
is the LORD of Hosts, surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like
Carmel by the sea, so shall he come. {46:19} You daughter who dwells
in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis shall
become a desolation, and shall be burnt up, without inhabitant.
{46:20} Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the
north has come, it has come. {46:21} Also her hired men in the midst
of her are like calves of the stall; for they also are turned back,
they are fled away together, they didn't stand: for the day of their
calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation. {46:22} The
sound of it shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an
army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters. {46:23} They
shall cut down her forest, says the LORD, though it can't be searched;
because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable. {46:24}
The daughter of Egypt shall be disappointed; she shall be delivered
into the hand of the people of the north. {46:25} The LORD of Hosts,
the God of Israel, says: Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and
Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods, and her kings; even Pharaoh, and
those who trust in him: {46:26} and I will deliver them into the hand
of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar
king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants; and afterwards it
shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says the LORD. {46:27} But
don't you be afraid, Jacob my servant, neither be dismayed, Israel:
for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of
their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at
ease, and none shall make him afraid. {46:28} Don't you be afraid, O
Jacob my servant, says the LORD; for I am with you: for I will make a
full end of all the nations where I have driven you; but I will not
make a full end of you, but I will correct you in measure, and will in
no way leave you unpunished.
{47:1} The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet
concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza. {47:2}
Thus says the LORD: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall
become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that
is therein, the city and those who dwell therein; and the men shall
cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail. {47:3} At the
noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing
of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers don't look
back to their children for feebleness of hands; {47:4} because of the
day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre
and Sidon every helper who remains: for the LORD will destroy the
Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor. {47:5} Baldness has
come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their
valley: how long will you cut yourself? {47:6} You sword of the LORD,
how long will it be before you be quiet? Put up yourself into your
scabbard; rest, and be still. {47:7} How can you be quiet, since the
LORD has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the
seashore, there has he appointed it.
{48:1} Of Moab. Thus says the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel: Woe
to Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is disappointed, it is
taken; Misgab is put to shame and broken down. {48:2} The praise of
Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come,
and let us cut her off from being a nation. You also, Madmen, shall be
brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you. {48:3} The sound of a
cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction! {48:4} Moab is
destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard. {48:5} For
by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for
at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of
destruction. {48:6} Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in
the wilderness. {48:7} For, because you have trusted in your works and
in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth
into captivity, his priests and his princes together. {48:8} The
destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the
valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as the
LORD has spoken. {48:9} Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get
her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to
dwell therein. {48:10} Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD
negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
{48:11} Moab 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 captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his
scent is not changed. {48:12} Therefore behold, the days come, says
the LORD, that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall
pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their
bottles in pieces. {48:13} Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the
house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence. {48:14} How do
you say, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war? {48:15} Moab
is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen
young men are gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is
the LORD of Hosts. {48:16} The calamity of Moab is near to come, and
his affliction hurries fast. {48:17} All you who are around him,
bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, How is the strong
staff broken, the beautiful rod! {48:18} You daughter who dwells in
Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer
of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.
{48:19} Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who
flees, and her who escapes; say, What has been done? {48:20} Moab is
disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the
Arnon, that Moab is laid waste. {48:21} Judgment has come on the plain
country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath, {48:22} and on
Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim, {48:23} and on Kiriathaim,
and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon, {48:24} and on Kerioth, and on
Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
{48:25} The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the
LORD. {48:26} Make him drunken; for he magnified himself against the
LORD: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in
derision. {48:27} For wasn't Israel a derision to you? was he found
among thieves? for as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
{48:28} You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the
rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the
abyss. {48:29} We have heard of the pride of Moab. He is very proud;
his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness
of his heart. {48:30} I know his wrath, says the LORD, that it is
nothing; his boastings have worked nothing. {48:31} Therefore will I
wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir
Heres shall they mourn. {48:32} With more than the weeping of Jazer
will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the
sea, they reached even to the sea of Jazer: on your summer fruits and
on your vintage the destroyer is fallen. {48:33} Gladness and joy is
taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I
have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with
shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting. {48:34} From the cry of
Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice,
from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of
Nimrim also shall become desolate. {48:35} Moreover I will cause to
cease in Moab, says the LORD, him who offers in the high place, and
him who burns incense to his gods. {48:36} Therefore my heart sounds
for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir
Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished. {48:37}
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are
cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth. {48:38} On all the housetops of
Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have
broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights, says the LORD.
{48:39} How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the
back with shame! So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all
who are around him. {48:40} For thus says the LORD: Behold, he shall
fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab. {48:41}
Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the
mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her
pangs. {48:42} Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he
has magnified himself against the LORD. {48:43} Fear, and the pit, and
the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD. {48:44} He
who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up
out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him,
even on Moab, the year of their visitation, says the LORD. {48:45}
Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for
a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of
Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head
of the tumultuous ones. {48:46} Woe to you, O Moab! the people of
Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your
daughters into captivity. {48:47} Yet will I bring back the captivity
of Moab in the latter days, says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of
Moab.
