Jeremiah 48:30-33
The Message
Jeremiah 48:30-33
The Message
29-33 “We’ve all heard of Moab’s pride,
that legendary pride,
The strutting, bullying, puffed-up pride,
the insufferable arrogance.
I know”—God’s Decree—“his rooster-crowing pride,
the inflated claims, the sheer nothingness of Moab.
But I will weep for Moab,
yes, I will mourn for the people of Moab.
I will even mourn for the people of Kir-heres.
I’ll weep for the grapevines of Sibmah
and join Jazer in her weeping—
Grapevines that once reached the Dead Sea
with tendrils as far as Jazer.
Your summer fruit and your bursting grapes
will be looted by brutal plunderers,
Lush Moab stripped
of song and laughter.
And yes, I’ll shut down the winepresses,
stop all the shouts and hurrahs of harvest.
Jeremiah 48:30-32
New International Version
Jeremiah 48:30-32
New International Version
30 I know her insolence but it is futile,”
declares the Lord,
“and her boasts(A) accomplish nothing.
31 Therefore I wail(B) over Moab,
for all Moab I cry out,
I moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.(C)
32 I weep for you, as Jazer(D) weeps,
you vines of Sibmah.(E)
Your branches spread as far as the sea[a];
they reached as far as[b] Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen
on your ripened fruit and grapes.
