Gather yourselves togetherH7197, yea, gather togetherH7197, O nationH1471 not desiredH3700; {not…: or, not desirous}
Before the decreeH2706 bring forthH3205, before the dayH3117 passH5674 as the chaffH4671, beforeH3808 the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 comeH935 upon you, before the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 comeH935 upon you.
SeekH1245 ye the LORDH3068, all ye meekH6035 of the earthH776, which have wroughtH6466 his judgmentH4941; seekH1245 righteousnessH6664, seekH1245 meeknessH6038: it may beH194 ye shall be hidH5641 in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639.
For GazaH5804 shall be forsakenH5800, and AshkelonH831 a desolationH8077: they shall drive outH1644 AshdodH795 at the noon dayH6672, and EkronH6138 shall be rooted upH6131.
WoeH1945 unto the inhabitantsH3427 of the seaH3220 coastH2256, the nationH1471 of the CherethitesH3774! the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 is against you; O CanaanH3667, the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, I will even destroyH6 thee, that there shall be no inhabitantH3427.
And the seaH3220 coastH2256 shall be dwellingsH5116 and cottagesH3741 for shepherdsH7462, and foldsH1448 for flocksH6629.
And the coastH2256 shall be for the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063; they shall feedH7462 thereupon: in the housesH1004 of AshkelonH831 shall they lie downH7257 in the eveningH6153: for the LORDH3068 their GodH430 shall visitH6485 them, and turn awayH7725 their captivityH7622+H7622. {for the LORD: or, when, etc}
I have heardH8085 the reproachH2781 of MoabH4124, and the revilingsH1421 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, whereby they have reproachedH2778 my peopleH5971, and magnifiedH1431 themselves against their borderH1366.
Therefore as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Surely MoabH4124 shall be as SodomH5467, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 as GomorrahH6017, even the breedingH4476 of nettlesH2738, and saltpitsH4379+H4417, and a perpetualH5704+H5769 desolationH8077: the residueH7611 of my peopleH5971 shall spoilH962 them, and the remnantH3499 of my peopleH1471 shall possessH5157 them.
This shall they have for their prideH1347, because they have reproachedH2778 and magnifiedH1431 themselves against the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The LORDH3068 will be terribleH3372 unto them: for he will famishH7329 all the godsH430 of the earthH776; and men shall worshipH7812 him, every oneH376 from his placeH4725, even all the islesH339 of the heathenH1471. {famish: Heb. make lean}
Ye EthiopiansH3569 also, yeH1992 shall be slainH2491 by my swordH2719.
And he will stretch outH5186 his handH3027 against the northH6828, and destroyH6 AssyriaH804; and will makeH7760 NinevehH5210 a desolationH8077, and dryH6723 like a wildernessH4057.
And flocksH5739 shall lie downH7257 in the midstH8432 of her, all the beastsH2416 of the nationsH1471: both the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall lodgeH3885 in the upper lintelsH3730 of it; their voiceH6963 shall singH7891 in the windowsH2474; desolationH2721 shall be in the thresholdsH5592: for he shall uncoverH6168 the cedar workH731. {cormorant: or, pelican} {upper…: or, knops, or, chapiters} {for…: or, when he hath uncovered}
This is the rejoicingH5947 cityH5892 that dweltH3427 carelesslyH983, that saidH559 in her heartH3824, I am, and there is none besideH657 me: how is she become a desolationH8047, a place for beastsH2416 to lie down inH4769! every one that passeth byH5674 her shall hissH8319, and wagH5128 his handH3027.

But as trulyH199 as I liveH2416, all the earthH776 shall be filledH4390 with the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068.
But they shall flyH5774 upon the shouldersH3802 of the PhilistinesH6430 toward the westH3220; they shall spoilH962 themH1121 of the eastH6924 togetherH3162: they shall layH4916 their handH3027 upon EdomH123 and MoabH4124; and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 shall obeyH4928 them. {them of: Heb. the children of} {they shall lay…: Heb. Edom and Moab shall be the laying on of their hand} {shall obey…: Heb. their obedience}
And flocksH5739 shall lie downH7257 in the midstH8432 of her, all the beastsH2416 of the nationsH1471: both the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall lodgeH3885 in the upper lintelsH3730 of it; their voiceH6963 shall singH7891 in the windowsH2474; desolationH2721 shall be in the thresholdsH5592: for he shall uncoverH6168 the cedar workH731. {cormorant: or, pelican} {upper…: or, knops, or, chapiters} {for…: or, when he hath uncovered}
And the coastH2256 shall be for the remnantH7611 of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063; they shall feedH7462 thereupon: in the housesH1004 of AshkelonH831 shall they lie downH7257 in the eveningH6153: for the LORDH3068 their GodH430 shall visitH6485 them, and turn awayH7725 their captivityH7622+H7622. {for the LORD: or, when, etc}
Lift upH5375 thine eyesH5869 round aboutH5439, and beholdH7200: all these gather themselves togetherH6908, and comeH935 to thee. As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thou shalt surely clotheH3847 thee with them all, as with an ornamentH5716, and bindH7194 them on thee, as a brideH3618 doeth.
The burdenH4853 of MoabH4124. Because in the nightH3915 ArH6144 of MoabH4124 is laid wasteH7703, and brought to silenceH1820; because in the nightH3915 KirH7024 of MoabH4124 is laid wasteH7703, and brought to silenceH1820; {brought…: or, cut off}
He is gone upH5927 to BajithH1006, and to DibonH1769, the high placesH1116, to weepH1065: MoabH4124 shall howlH3213 over NeboH5015, and over MedebaH4311: on all their headsH7218 shall be baldnessH7144, and every beardH2206 cut offH1438.
In their streetsH2351 they shall girdH2296 themselves with sackclothH8242: on the topsH1406 of their houses, and in their streetsH7339, every one shall howlH3213, weepingH1065 abundantlyH3381. {weeping…: Heb. descending into weeping, or, coming down with weeping}
And HeshbonH2809 shall cryH2199, and ElealehH500: their voiceH6963 shall be heardH8085 even unto JahazH3096: therefore the armed soldiersH2502 of MoabH4124 shall cry outH7321; his lifeH5315 shall be grievousH3415 unto him.
My heartH3820 shall cry outH2199 for MoabH4124; his fugitivesH1280 shall flee unto ZoarH6820, an heiferH5697 of three years oldH7992: for by the mounting upH4608 of LuhithH3872 with weepingH1065 shall they go it upH5927; for in the wayH1870 of HoronaimH2773 they shall raise upH5782 a cryH2201 of destructionH7667. {his…: or, to the borders thereof, even to Zoar, as an heifer} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
For the watersH4325 of NimrimH5249 shall be desolateH4923: for the hayH2682 is withered awayH3001, the grassH1877 failethH3615, there is no green thingH3418. {desolate: Heb. desolations}
Therefore the abundanceH3502 they have gottenH6213, and that which they have laid upH6486, shall they carry awayH5375 to the brookH5158 of the willowsH6155. {brook…: or, valley of the Arabians}
For the cryH2201 is gone round aboutH5362 the bordersH1366 of MoabH4124; the howlingH3215 thereof unto EglaimH97, and the howlingH3215 thereof unto BeerelimH879.
For the watersH4325 of DimonH1775 shall be fullH4390 of bloodH1818: for I will bringH7896 moreH3254 upon DimonH1775, lionsH738 upon him that escapethH6413 of MoabH4124, and upon the remnantH7611 of the landH127. {more: Heb. additions}
Then the LORDH3068 rainedH4305 upon SodomH5467 and upon GomorrahH6017 brimstoneH1614 and fireH784 from the LORDH3068 out of heavenH8064;
The remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 shall not doH6213 iniquityH5766, nor speakH1696 liesH3577; neither shall a deceitfulH8649 tongueH3956 be foundH4672 in their mouthH6310: for they shall feedH7462 and lie downH7257, and none shall make them afraidH2729.
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, Surely as TaborH8396 is among the mountainsH2022, and as CarmelH3760 by the seaH3220, so shall he comeH935.
For in this mountainH2022 shall the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 restH5117, and MoabH4124 shall be trodden downH1758 under him, even as strawH4963 is trodden downH1758 for the dunghillH1119+H4087+H4325. {trodden down under: or, threshed, etc} {trodden down for…: or, threshed in Madmenah}
And he overthrewH2015 thoseH411 citiesH5892, and all the plainH3603, and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the citiesH5892, and that which grewH6780 upon the groundH127.
EgyptH4714 shall be a desolationH8077, and EdomH123 shall be a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057, for the violenceH2555 against the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, because they have shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818 in their landH776.
ForG1063 it is writtenG1125, As IG1473 liveG2198, saithG3004 the LordG2962+G3754, everyG3956 kneeG1119 shall bowG2578 to meG1698, andG2532 everyG3956 tongueG1100 shall confessG1843 to GodG2316.
Against MoabH4124 thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; WoeH1945 unto NeboH5015! for it is spoiledH7703: KiriathaimH7156 is confoundedH3001 and takenH3920: MisgabH4869 is confoundedH3001 and dismayedH2865. {Misgab: or, the high place}
There shall be no more praiseH8416 of MoabH4124: in HeshbonH2809 they have devisedH2803 evilH7451 against it; comeH3212, and let us cut it offH3772 from being a nationH1471. Also thou shalt be cut downH1826, O MadmenH4086; the swordH2719 shall pursueH3212 theeH310. {be cut…: or, be brought to silence} {pursue…: Heb. go after thee}
A voiceH6963 of cryingH6818 shall be from HoronaimH2773, spoilingH7701 and greatH1419 destructionH7667.
MoabH4124 is destroyedH7665; her little onesH6810 have caused a cryH2201 to be heardH8085.
For in the going upH4608 of LuhithH3872 continualH1065 weepingH1065 shall go upH5927; for in the going downH4174 of HoronaimH2773 the enemiesH6862 have heardH8085 a cryH6818 of destructionH7667. {continual…: Heb. weeping with weeping}
FleeH5127, saveH4422 your livesH5315, and beH1961 like the heathH6176 in the wildernessH4057. {the heath: or, a naked tree}
For because thou hast trustedH982 in thy worksH4639 and in thy treasuresH214, thou shalt also be takenH3920: and ChemoshH3645 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473 with his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162.
And the spoilerH7703 shall comeH935 upon every cityH5892, and no cityH5892 shall escapeH4422: the valleyH6010 also shall perishH6, and the plainH4334 shall be destroyedH8045, as the LORDH3068 hath spokenH559.
GiveH5414 wingsH6731 unto MoabH4124, that it may fleeH5323 and get awayH3318: for the citiesH5892 thereof shall be desolateH8047, without any to dwellH3427 thereinH2004.
CursedH779 be he that doethH6213 the workH4399 of the LORDH3068 deceitfullyH7423, and cursedH779 be he that keepeth backH4513 his swordH2719 from bloodH1818. {deceitfully: or, negligently}
MoabH4124 hath been at easeH7599 from his youthH5271, and he hath settledH8252 on his leesH8105, and hath not been emptiedH7324 from vesselH3627 to vesselH3627, neither hath he goneH1980 into captivityH1473: therefore his tasteH2940 remainedH5975 in him, and his scentH7381 is not changedH4171. {remained: Heb. stood}
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will sendH7971 unto him wanderersH6808, that shall cause him to wanderH6808, and shall emptyH7324 his vesselsH3627, and breakH5310 their bottlesH5035.
And MoabH4124 shall be ashamedH954 of ChemoshH3645, as the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was ashamedH954 of BethelH1008 their confidenceH4009.
How sayH559 ye, We are mightyH1368 and strongH2428 menH582 for the warH4421?
MoabH4124 is spoiledH7703, and gone upH5927 out of her citiesH5892, and his chosenH4005 young menH970 are gone downH3381 to the slaughterH2874, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {his…: Heb. the choice of}
The calamityH343 of MoabH4124 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and his afflictionH7451 hastethH4116 fastH3966.
All ye that are aboutH5439 him, bemoanH5110 him; and all ye that knowH3045 his nameH8034, sayH559, How is the strongH5797 staffH4294 brokenH7665, and the beautifulH8597 rodH4731!
Thou daughterH1323 that dost inhabitH3427 DibonH1769, come downH3381 from thy gloryH3519, and sitH3427 in thirstH6772; for the spoilerH7703 of MoabH4124 shall comeH5927 upon thee, and he shall destroyH7843 thy strong holdsH4013.
O inhabitantH3427 of AroerH6177, standH5975 by the wayH1870, and espyH6822; askH7592 him that fleethH5127, and her that escapethH4422, and sayH559, What is doneH1961? {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
MoabH4124 is confoundedH3001; for it is broken downH2865: howlH3213 and cryH2199; tellH5046 ye it in ArnonH769, that MoabH4124 is spoiledH7703,
And judgmentH4941 is comeH935 upon the plainH4334 countryH776; upon HolonH2473, and upon JahazahH3096, and upon MephaathH4158,
And upon DibonH1769, and upon NeboH5015, and upon BethdiblathaimH1015,
And upon KiriathaimH7156, and upon BethgamulH1014, and upon BethmeonH1010,
And upon KeriothH7152, and upon BozrahH1224, and upon all the citiesH5892 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, farH7350 or nearH7138.
The hornH7161 of MoabH4124 is cut offH1438, and his armH2220 is brokenH7665, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Make ye him drunkenH7937: for he magnifiedH1431 himself against the LORDH3068: MoabH4124 also shall wallowH5606 in his vomitH6892, and he also shall be in derisionH7814.
For was not IsraelH3478 a derisionH7814 unto thee? was he foundH4672 among thievesH1590? for sinceH1767 thou spakestH1697 of him, thou skippedstH5110 for joy. {skippedst…: or, movedst thyself}
O ye that dwellH3427 in MoabH4124, leaveH5800 the citiesH5892, and dwellH7931 in the rockH5553, and be like the doveH3123 that maketh her nestH7077 in the sidesH5676 of the hole'sH6354 mouthH6310.
We have heardH8085 the prideH1347 of MoabH4124, (he is exceedingH3966 proudH1343) his loftinessH1363, and his arrogancyH1346, and his prideH1347, and the haughtinessH7312 of his heartH3820.
I knowH3045 his wrathH5678, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; but it shall not be so; his liesH907 shall not so effectH6213 it. {his lies…: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}
Therefore will I howlH3213 for MoabH4124, and I will cry outH2199 for all MoabH4124; mine heart shall mournH1897 for the menH582 of KirheresH7025.
O vineH1612 of SibmahH7643, I will weepH1058 for thee with the weepingH1065 of JazerH3270: thy plantsH5189 are gone overH5674 the seaH3220, they reachH5060 even to the seaH3220 of JazerH3270: the spoilerH7703 is fallenH5307 upon thy summer fruitsH7019 and upon thy vintageH1210.
And joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 is takenH622 from the plentiful fieldH3759, and from the landH776 of MoabH4124; and I have caused wineH3196 to failH7673 from the winepressesH3342: none shall treadH1869 with shoutingH1959; their shoutingH1959 shall be no shoutingH1959.
From the cryH2201 of HeshbonH2809 even unto ElealehH500, and even unto JahazH3096, have they utteredH5414 their voiceH6963, from ZoarH6820 even unto HoronaimH2773, as an heiferH5697 of three years oldH7992: for the watersH4325 also of NimrimH5249 shall be desolateH4923. {desolate: Heb. desolations}
Moreover I will cause to ceaseH7673 in MoabH4124, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, him that offerethH5927 in the high placesH1116, and him that burneth incenseH6999 to his godsH430.
Therefore mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 for MoabH4124 like pipesH2485, and mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 like pipesH2485 for the menH582 of KirheresH7025: because the richesH3502 that he hath gottenH6213 are perishedH6.
For every headH7218 shall be baldH7144, and every beardH2206 clippedH1639: upon all the handsH3027 shall be cuttingsH1417, and upon the loinsH4975 sackclothH8242. {clipped: Heb. diminished}
There shall be lamentationH4553 generally upon all the housetopsH1406 of MoabH4124, and in the streetsH7339 thereof: for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They shall howlH3213, saying, How is it broken downH2865! how hath MoabH4124 turnedH6437 the backH6203 with shameH954! so shall MoabH4124 be a derisionH7814 and a dismayingH4288 to all them aboutH5439 him. {back: Heb. neck}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, he shall flyH1675 as an eagleH5404, and shall spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 over MoabH4124.
KeriothH7152 is takenH3920, and the strong holdsH4679 are surprisedH8610, and the mighty men'sH1368 heartsH3820 in MoabH4124 at that dayH3117 shall be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangsH6887. {Kerioth: or, The cities}
And MoabH4124 shall be destroyedH8045 from being a peopleH5971, because he hath magnifiedH1431 himself against the LORDH3068.
FearH6343, and the pitH6354, and the snareH6341, shall be upon thee, O inhabitantH3427 of MoabH4124, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
He that fleethH5127+H5211 fromH6440 the fearH6343 shall fallH5307 into the pitH6354; and he that getteth upH5927 out of the pitH6354 shall be takenH3920 in the snareH6341: for I will bringH935 upon it, even upon MoabH4124, the yearH8141 of their visitationH6486, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They that fledH5127 stoodH5975 under the shadowH6738 of HeshbonH2809 because of the forceH3581: but a fireH784 shall come forthH3318 out of HeshbonH2809, and a flameH3852 from the midstH996 of SihonH5511, and shall devourH398 the cornerH6285 of MoabH4124, and the crown of the headH6936 of the tumultuousH7588 onesH1121. {tumultuous…: Heb. children of noise}
WoeH188 be unto thee, O MoabH4124! the peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645 perishethH6: for thy sonsH1121 are takenH3947 captivesH7628, and thy daughtersH1323 captivesH7633. {captives, and: Heb. in captivity, etc}
Yet will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of MoabH4124 in the latterH319 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Thus farH2008 is the judgmentH4941 of MoabH4124.
And that the whole landH776 thereof is brimstoneH1614, and saltH4417, and burningH8316, that it is not sownH2232, nor bearethH6779, nor any grassH6212 growethH5927 therein, like the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, which the LORDH3068 overthrewH2015 in his angerH639, and in his wrathH2534:
But JudahH3063 shall dwellH3427 for everH5769, and JerusalemH3389 from generationH1755 to generationH1755. {dwell: or, abide}
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and prophesyH5012 against them;
And sayH559 unto the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou saidstH559, AhaH1889, against my sanctuaryH4720, when it was profanedH2490; and against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, when it was desolateH8074; and against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, when they wentH1980 into captivityH1473;
Behold, therefore I will deliverH5414 thee to the menH1121 of the eastH6924 for a possessionH4181, and they shall setH3427 their palacesH2918 in thee, and makeH5414 their dwellingsH4908 in thee: they shall eatH398 thy fruitH6529, and they shall drinkH8354 thy milkH2461. {men: Heb. children}
And I will makeH5414 RabbahH7237 a stableH5116 for camelsH1581, and the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 a couchingplaceH4769 for flocksH6629: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast clappedH4222 thine handsH3027, and stampedH7554 with the feetH7272, and rejoicedH8055 in heartH5315 with all thy despiteH7589 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
Behold, therefore I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and will deliverH5414 thee for a spoilH957+H897 to the heathenH1471; and I will cut thee offH3772 from the peopleH5971, and I will cause thee to perishH6 out of the countriesH776: I will destroyH8045 thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a spoil: or, meat}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; BecauseH3282 that MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 do sayH559, Behold, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like unto all the heathenH1471;
Therefore, behold, I will openH6605 the sideH3802 of MoabH4124 from the citiesH5892, from his citiesH5892 which are on his frontiersH7097, the gloryH6643 of the countryH776, BethjeshimothH1020, BaalmeonH1186, and KiriathaimH7156, {side…: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
Unto the menH1121 of the eastH6924 with the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and will giveH5414 them in possessionH4181, that the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 may not be rememberedH2142 among the nationsH1471. {with…: or, against the children of Ammon}
And I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon MoabH4124; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because that EdomH123 hath dealtH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and hath greatlyH816 offendedH816, and revengedH5358 himself upon them; {by…: Heb. by revenging revengement}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon EdomH123, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it; and I will makeH5414 it desolateH2723 from TemanH8487; and they of DedanH1719 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {they…: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
And I will layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon EdomH123 by the handH3027 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: and they shall doH6213 in EdomH123 according to mine angerH639 and according to my furyH2534; and they shall knowH3045 my vengeanceH5360, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the PhilistinesH6430 have dealtH6213 by revengeH5360, and have takenH5358 vengeanceH5359 with a despitefulH7589 heartH5315, to destroyH4889 it for the oldH5769 hatredH342; {for the…: or, with perpetual hatred}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon the PhilistinesH6430, and I will cut offH3772 the CherethimsH3774, and destroyH6 the remnantH7611 of the seaH3220 coastH2348. {sea coast: or, haven of the sea}
And I will executeH6213 greatH1419 vengeanceH5360 upon them with furiousH2534 rebukesH8433; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon them. {great vengeance: Heb. great vengeances}
And BabylonH894, the gloryH6643 of kingdomsH4467, the beautyH8597 of the Chaldees'H3778 excellencyH1347, shall be as when GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017. {as…: Heb. as the overthrowing}
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a dewH2919 from the LORDH3068, as the showersH7241 upon the grassH6212, that tarriethH6960 not for manH376, nor waitethH3176 for the sonsH1121 of menH120.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have ripped upH1234 the women with childH2030 of GileadH1568, that they might enlargeH7337 their borderH1366: {ripped…: or, divided the mountains}
But I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the wallH2346 of RabbahH7237, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof, with shoutingH8643 in the dayH3117 of battleH4421, with a tempestH5591 in the dayH3117 of the whirlwindH5492:
And their kingH4428 shall goH1980 into captivityH1473, he and his princesH8269 togetherH3162, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
It shall neverH5331 be inhabitedH3427, neither shall it be dweltH7931 in from generationH1755 to generationH1755: neither shall the ArabianH6163 pitch tentH167 there; neither shall the shepherdsH7462 make their foldH7257 there.
And the remnantH7611 of JacobH3290 shall be among the GentilesH1471 in the midstH7130 of manyH7227 peopleH5971 as a lionH738 among the beastsH929 of the forestH3293, as a young lionH3715 among the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629: who, if he go throughH5674, both treadeth downH7429, and teareth in piecesH2963, and none can deliverH5337. {sheep: or, goats}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of MoabH4124, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he burnedH8313 the bonesH6106 of the kingH4428 of EdomH123 into limeH7875:
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon MoabH4124, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of KeriothH7152: and MoabH4124 shall dieH4191 with tumultH7588, with shoutingH8643, and with the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782:
And I will cut offH3772 the judgeH8199 from the midstH7130 thereof, and will slayH2026 all the princesH8269 thereof with him, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
And the streamsH5158 thereof shall be turnedH2015 into pitchH2203, and the dustH6083 thereof into brimstoneH1614, and the landH776 thereof shall become burningH1197 pitchH2203.
It shall not be quenchedH3518 nightH3915 nor dayH3119; the smokeH6227 thereof shall go upH5927 for everH5769: from generationH1755 to generationH1755 it shall lie wasteH2717; none shall pass throughH5674 it for everH5331 and everH5331.
But the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall possessH3423 it; the owlH3244 also and the ravenH6158 shall dwellH7931 in it: and he shall stretch outH5186 upon it the lineH6957 of confusionH8414, and the stonesH68 of emptinessH922. {cormorant: or, pelican}
They shall callH7121 the noblesH2715 thereof to the kingdomH4410, but none shall be there, and all her princesH8269 shall be nothingH657.
And thornsH5518 shall come upH5927 in her palacesH759, nettlesH7057 and bramblesH2336 in the fortressesH4013 thereof: and it shall be an habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, and a courtH2681 for owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
