1 Concerning Moab. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,“Woe to Nebo, for it has been destroyed; Kiriathaim has been put to shame, it has been captured; The lofty stronghold has been put to shame andashattered. 2“There is praise for Moab no longer; In Heshbon they have devised calamity against her: ‘Come and let us cut her off from being a nation!’ You too,bMadmen, will be silenced; The sword will follow after you. 5“For by the ascent of Luhith They will ascend with continual weeping; For at the descent of Horonaim They have heard thecanguished cry of destruction. 7“For because of your trust in your own achievements and treasures, Even you yourself will be captured; And Chemosh will go off into exile Together with his priests and his princes. 8“A destroyer will come to every city, So that no city will escape; The valley also will be ruined And the plateau will be destroyed, As the LORD has said. |
12 Therefore behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will send to him those who tip vessels, and they will tip him over, and they will empty his vessels and shatterhhis jars. 13 And Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence. |
15 17 “Mourn for him, all you who live around him, Even all of you who know his name; Say, ‘How has the mightylscepter been broken, A staff of splendor!’ 18 “Come down from your glory And sitmon the parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, He has ruined your strongholds. 19 20 “Moab has been put to shame, for it has beennshattered. Wail and cry out; Declare by the Arnon That Moab has been destroyed. |
21 “Judgment has also come upon the plain, upon Holon, Jahzah and against Mephaath, 22 against Dibon, Nebo and Beth-diblathaim, 23 against Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul and Beth-meon, 24 against Kerioth, Bozrah and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. 25 The horn of Moab has been cut off and his arm broken,” declares the LORD. 26 “Make him drunk, for he hasobecome arrogant toward the LORD; so Moab willpwallow in his vomit, and he also will become a laughingstock. 27 Now was not Israel a laughingstock to you? Or was heqcaught among thieves? For each time you speak about him you shake your head in scorn. |
28 29 “We have heard of the pride of Moab—he is very proud— Of his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance andrhis self-exaltation. 30 31 “Therefore I will wail for Moab, Even for all Moab will I cry out; sI will moan for the men of Kir-heres. 32 |
34 From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they havetraised their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim will become desolate. 35 I will make an end of Moab,” declares the LORD, “the one who offers sacrifice on the high place and the one whouburns incense to his gods. |
36 “Therefore My heartvwails for Moab like flutes; My heart alsowwails like flutes for the men of Kir-heres. Therefore they have lost the abundance it produced. 37 For every head is bald and every beard cut short; there are gashes on all the hands and sackcloth on the loins. 38 On all the housetops of Moab and in its streetsxthere is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like an undesirable vessel,” declares the LORD. 39 “Howyshattered it is! How they have wailed! How Moab has turned his back—he is ashamed! So Moab will become a laughingstock and an object of terror to all around him.” |
40 For thus says the LORD:“Behold, one will fly swiftly like an eagle And spread out his wings against Moab. 41“Kerioth has been captured And the strongholds have been seized, So the hearts of the mighty men of Moab in that day Will be like the heart of a woman in labor. 42“Moab will be destroyed from being a people Because he haszbecome arrogant toward the LORD. |
45 “In the shadow of Heshbon The fugitives stand without strength; For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon And a flame from the midst of Sihon, And it has devoured the forehead of Moab And the scalps of theaariotous revelers. 46 |
