Hi friend, this is Mary DeMuth, and this is Pray Every Day, where I pray you through the Bible verse by verse on this seventh day of January.

I hope it finds you joyful and experiencing the peace of God that surpasses all comprehension and understanding.

Just a quick note, we're going to celebrate eight years of pray every day on February 1st, and I'm inviting

you to be a part of the party. And you can do so by not being afraid, but by recording your voice,

go to mary demuth.com slash pray, and you can record up to five minutes of a testimony of how

this ministry has helped you, either last year or over the years. It doesn't have to be just last year.

So I will feature those on February 1st as a celebration, and I just really encourage you to be a

part of that party. All right, today I'm reading from Jeremiah chapter 48, verses 1 through 20 in the

World English Bible, and this is what it says of Moab Yahweh of armies the god of

Israel says woe to Nebo for it is laid waste karyothem is disappointed it is taken misgab is put to shame

and broken down the praise of Moab is no more in Heshbon theyised evil against her. Come, let's cut her off from being a nation. You also, madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you. The sound of a cry from Horonayam, desolation and a great destruction. Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard,

for they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Hororam,

Horanam, they have heard the distress cry of the city of destruction. Flee, save your lives, be like the junior bush in the

wilderness, for because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you will also be taken.

Chimosh will go out into captivity, his priests and his princes together. The destroyer will come on

every city, and no city will escape.

The valley will also perish, and the plane will be destroyed as Yahweh has spoken.

Give wings to Moab that she may fly and get herself away, and her cities will become a desolation

without anyone to dwell in them.

Cursed is he who does the work of Yahweh negligently,

and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

Moab has been at ease from his youth.
