1 Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed. |
2 There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee. |
3 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction. |
4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard. |
5 For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. |
6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. |
