New Living Translation (NLT)
Jeremiah 47
6 “Now, O sword of the LORD, when will you be at rest again? Go back into your sheath; rest and be still.
7 “But how can it be still when the LORD has sent it on a mission? For the city of Ashkelon and the people living along the sea must be destroyed.”
Jeremiah 48
1 This message was given concerning Moab. This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: “What sorrow awaits the city of Nebo; it will soon lie in ruins. The city of Kiriathaim will be humiliated and captured; the fortress will be humiliated and broken down.
2 No one will ever brag about Moab again, for in Heshbon there is a plot to destroy her. ‘Come,’ they say, ‘we will cut her off from being a nation.’ The town of Madmen, too, will be silenced; the sword will follow you there.
3 Listen to the cries from Horonaim, cries of devastation and great destruction.
4 All Moab is destroyed. Her little ones will cry out.
5 Her refugees weep bitterly, climbing the slope to Luhith. They cry out in terror, descending the slope to Horonaim.
6 Flee for your lives! Hide in the wilderness!
7 Because you have trusted in your wealth and skill, you will be taken captive. Your god Chemosh, with his priests and officials, will be hauled off to distant lands!
8 “All the towns will be destroyed, and no one will escape— either on the plateaus or in the valleys, for the LORD has spoken.
9 Oh, that Moab had wings so she could fly away, for her towns will be left empty, with no one living in them.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
