Jeremiah Chapter 48
So God was like, 'Listen up, Moab's done for: Nebo's out, Kiriathaim's shook, and Misgab's totally lost it.'
Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded {and} taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed. {Misgab: or, the high place}
Moab's hype is dead, fam. Heshbon's scheming its downfall; time to erase it from the map. Madmen, you’re next; the blade’s coming for you.
{There shall be} no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from {being} a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee. {be cut...: or, be brought to silence} {pursue...: Heb. go after thee}
You can peep the screams from Horonaim, it’s a whole destruction vibe.
A voice of crying {shall be} from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.
Moab's wrecked; even the kiddos are crying out here.
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
As Luhith rises, the tears keep flowing; down in Horonaim, enemies are hearing the mess.

Spoilers are rolling up on every city, no one’s escaping; the valley’s about to go down, and the plains are getting wrecked, just like God said.
And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.
Give Moab some wings so it can dip; all its cities are about to be ghost towns.
Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.
Whoever's out here doing God’s work all sus and holding back their sword from the blood? Yeah, they’re cursed.
Cursed {be} he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed {be} he that keepeth back his sword from blood. {deceitfully: or, negligently}
Moab's been chilling since day one, just kickin' back, keeping the same vibes, no cap.
Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed. {remained: Heb. stood}
So, pay attention, God’s about to send some wanderers to shake things up, empty his cups, and break his stuff, periodt.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
Moab’s gonna feel all sus about Chemosh, just like Israel felt about their confidence at Beth-el.

O Aroer, chill by the road and stay alert; ask those who are sprinting away, 'What’s the tea?'

We heard Moab's pride, dude's just way too full of himself, acting all high and mighty, savage.
We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
I see his anger, says the Lord; but trust, it ain't gonna go down like that; his lies won't hit hard.
I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but {it shall} not {be} so; his lies shall not so effect {it}. {his lies...: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}
I'm literally howlin' for Moab, like fr, my heart's hurtin' for the homies in Kir-heres.

O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach {even} to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
Joy and good vibes are gone from Moab's fields, and I'm sayin' the wine's gone dry: no one’s poppin' off with shouts; their hype's just dead.
And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; {their} shouting {shall be} no shouting.
From Heshbon to Elealeh, they’re shoutin' loud, from Zoar to Horonaim, like a young calf: even the waters of Nimrim are totally empty.
From the cry of Heshbon {even} unto Elealeh, {and even} unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar {even} unto Horonaim, {as} an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate. {desolate: Heb. desolations}

There’s gonna be major sad vibes on all the rooftops in Moab and in the streets: I broke Moab like a useless pot, says the Lord.
{There shall be} lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein {is} no pleasure, saith the LORD.
They’ll howl, like, 'How is it all broken? Moab’s totally embarrassed!' Moab’s gonna be a joke and a mess to everyone around.
They shall howl, {saying}, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him. {back: Heb. neck}

He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, {even} upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
Those who fled chill under Heshbon’s shade 'cause it’s wild out here: but fire's coming outta Heshbon, and it’s gonna roast Moab, no cap.

Woe to you, Moab! Chemosh's crew is done for: your sons are taken, and your daughters too, savage.
