Jeremiah 48:14–15

14 “How can you say, ‘We are warriors,

men valiant in battle’?

15 Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded;

her finest young men will go down in the slaughter,”

declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty.

14 How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?

15 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities,

And his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter,

Saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

14 “You used to boast, ‘We are heroes,

mighty men of war.’

15 But now Moab and his towns will be destroyed.

His most promising youth are doomed to slaughter,”

says the King, whose name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

14 “How can you say, ‘We are mighty

And strong men for the war’?

15 Moab is plundered and gone up from her cities;

Her chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,” says the King,

Whose name is the Lord of hosts.

14 “You cannot say, ‘We are warriors!

We are brave men in battle!’

15 The destroyer of Moab and her towns has arrived.

Her best young men will be killed!” says the King,

whose name is the Lord All-Powerful.

14 How say ye, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war? 15 Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.

14 How do ye say, We are mighty, and men of valour for the war? 15 Moab is laid waste, and his cities are gone up in smoke, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.

14 “How can you say, ‘We are soldiers and warriors’? 

15 The enemy will attack Moab and destroy its cities. 

Its finest young men will be slaughtered,” 

declares the king, whose name is the Lord of Armies. 

14 How can you say, “We are warriors—

mighty men ready for battle”?

15 The destroyer of Moab and its towns

has come up,

and the best of its young men

have gone down to slaughter.

This is the King’s declaration;

Yahweh of Hosts is His name.

14 How can you say, “We are heroes

and mighty warriors”?

15 Moab is destroyed, and his towns have gone up,

and the choicest of his young men have gone down to slaughter,

says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.

14 How can you say, ‘we are warriors,

and men of might for the battle.’

15 Moab is destroyed,

and his towns have gone up,

and the choice of his young men have gone down to the slaughtering,”

declares the King, Yahweh of hosts is his name.

14 “How can you say, ‘We are soldiers.

We are men who are brave in battle’?

15 Moab will be destroyed.

Its enemies will march into its towns.

Her finest young men will die in battle,”

announces the King.

His name is The Lord Who Rules Over All.

14 “How can you say, ‘We are mighty warriors,

And men valiant for battle’?

15 “Moab has been destroyed and men have gone up to his cities;

His choicest young men have also gone down to the slaughter,”

Declares the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
