Jeremiah 48:9-25

Coverdale(i) 9 Make a token vnto Moab, that she get hir awaye spedely: for hir cities shalbe made so desolate, that no man shall dwell therin. 10 Cursed be he that doth the worke of the LORDE necligently, and cursed be he that kepeth backe his swearde from sheddynge off bloude. 11 Moab hath euer bene rich and carlesse from hir youth vp, she hath sytten and take hir ease with hir treasure. She was neuer yet put out off one vessell in to another (yt is) she neuer wente awaye in to captyuyte, therfore hir taist remayneth, and hir sauoure is not yet chaunged. 12 But lo, the tyme commeth (saieth the LORDE) that I shall sende hir trussers to trusse her vp, to prepare and season hir vessels: yee hir tankerdes rattell, and shake to & fro. 13 And Moab shalbe ashamed off Chamos, like as Israel was ashamed off Bethel, wherin she put hir trust. 14 Wherfore do ye thinke thus: we are mightie, and stronge men off warre? 15 Moab shalbe destroyed, and hir cities brente vp: hir chosen yonge men shall be slayne, saieth the kinge, whose name is the LORDE off hoostes. 16 The destruction off Moab commeth on a pace, and hir fall is at honde. 17 All hir neghbours shall mourne for her, and all they that knowe hir name, shal saye: O how happeneth it, that the stronge staff and the goodly rod is thus broken? 18 And thou doughter Dibo, come downe from thy glory, and syt in pouerte. For he that destroyeth Moab, shall come vp to the also, and breake downe thy stronge holdes. 19 And thou that dwellest in Aroer, get the to ye strete, & loke aboute the: axe them that are fled and escaped, and saye: what thynge is happened? 20 O, Moab is confounded and ouercome. Mourne and crie, tell it out at Arnon, that Moab is destroyed. 21 And mysery shall come vpon the playne londe: Namely, vpo holon, and Iaza: vpon Mephat 22 and Dibo, vpon Nebo and the house of Diplathaim, 23 vpon Cariatharim and Bethgamul, vpon Bethmaon 24 and Carioth, vpon Bosra and all the cities in the lode off Moab, whether they lye farre or neare. 25 The horne of Moab shal be smytte downe, & hir arme broken, saieth the LORDE.
