Jeremiah 48:38-40
EasyEnglish Bible
38 People are standing on the roofs of their houses.
They are standing in the streets.
They are all crying and weeping.
They are sad because I have destroyed Moab.
I have broken it in pieces, like a jar that I no longer want.’
That is what the Lord says.
39 ‘Yes, Moab will be like a broken jar.
Its people will weep with loud voices.
They will turn away because they are ashamed.
All the nations around there will laugh at Moab.
They will see the terrible trouble that it has received.’
40 The Lord says,
‘Look at the enemy that suddenly arrives!
It comes like an eagle that flies down to catch its food.
Jeremiah 48:38-40
New International Version
38 On all the roofs in Moab
and in the public squares(A)
there is nothing but mourning,
for I have broken Moab
like a jar(B) that no one wants,”
declares the Lord.
39 “How shattered(C) she is! How they wail!
How Moab turns her back in shame!
Moab has become an object of ridicule,(D)
an object of horror to all those around her.”
40 This is what the Lord says:
