Jeremias 48:2
There is no more rejoicing in Moab over Hesebon: they have devised evil. Come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Therefore shalt thou in silence hold thy peace, and the sword shall follow thee.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Non est ultra exsultatio in Moab contra Hesebon : cogitaverunt malum : Venite, et disperdamus eam de gente. Ergo silens conticesces, sequeturque te gladius.
- Septuagint (Swete) shown from Jeremias 31:2
- οὐκ ἔστιν ἔτι ἰατρεία Μωάβ, ἀγαυρίαμα ἐν Ἑσεβών· ἐλογίσατο ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν κακά· ἐκόψαμεν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ ἔθνους, καὶ παῦσιν παύσεται. ὄπισθέν σου βαδιεῖται μάχαιρα,
- Hebrew (WLC)
- אֵ֣ין עוֹד֮ תְּהִלַּ֣ת מוֹאָב֒ בְּחֶשְׁבּ֗וֹן חָשְׁב֤וּ עָלֶ֨יהָ֙ רָעָ֔ה לְכ֖וּ וְנַכְרִיתֶ֣נָּה מִגּ֑וֹי גַּם מַדְמֵ֣ן תִּדֹּ֔מִּי אַחֲרַ֖יִךְ תֵּ֥לֶךְ חָֽרֶב
Haydock's commentary
Hesebon, at the foot of Phasga, and one of the strongest cities.
Shalt. Hebrew, "shall Medemena hold her peace." (Calmet)
"Thou shalt be cut down, O madmen." (Haydock)
It signifies "silence." Thou silent city, thou shalt be reduced to a mournful silence or destruction.
