Jeremiah 48:17-26
English Standard Version
17 (A)Grieve for him, all you who are around him,
and all who know his name;
say, (B)‘How the mighty scepter is broken,
the glorious staff.’
18 (C)“Come down from your glory,
and sit on the parched ground,
O inhabitant of (D)Dibon!
For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you;
he has destroyed your strongholds.
19 (E)Stand by the way (F)and watch,
O inhabitant of (G)Aroer!
Ask him who flees and her who escapes;
say, ‘What has happened?’
20 Moab is put to shame, for it is broken;
(H)wail and cry!
Tell it beside (I)the Arnon,
that (J)Moab is laid waste.
21 “Judgment has come upon (K)the tableland, upon Holon, and (L)Jahzah, and Mephaath, 22 and (M)Dibon, and (N)Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim, 23 and (O)Kiriathaim, and Beth-gamul, and (P)Beth-meon, 24 and (Q)Kerioth, and (R)Bozrah, and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. 25 (S)The horn of Moab is cut off, and (T)his arm is broken, declares the Lord.
26 (U)“Make him drunk, (V)because he magnified himself against the Lord, so that Moab shall (W)wallow in his vomit, (X)and he too shall be held in derision.
