Of Moab.{H4124} Thus saith{H559} Jehovah{H3068} of hosts,{H6635} the God{H430} of Israel:{H3478} Woe{H1945} unto Nebo!{H5015} for it is laid waste;{H7703} Kiriathaim{H7156} is put to shame,{H3001} it is taken;{H3920} Misgab{H4869} is put to shame{H3001} and broken down.{H2865}

The praise{H8416} of Moab{H4124} is no more; in Heshbon{H2809} they have devised{H2803} evil{H7451} against her: Come,{H3212} and let us cut her off{H3772} from being a nation.{H1471} Thou also, O Madmen,{H4086} shalt be brought{H1826} to silence: the sword{H2719} shall pursue{H3212} thee.{H310}

The sound{H6963} of a cry{H6963} from Horonaim,{H2773} desolation{H7701} and great{H1419} destruction!{H7701}

Moab{H4124} is destroyed;{H7665} her little ones{H6810} have caused a cry{H2201} to be heard.{H8085}

For by the ascent{H4608} of Luhith{H3872} with continual{H1065} weeping{H1065} shall they go up;{H5927} for at the descent{H4174} of Horonaim{H2773} they{H6862} have heard{H8085} the distress of the cry{H6818} of destruction.{H7667}

Flee,{H5127} save{H4422} your lives,{H5315} and be{H1961} like the heath{H6176} in the wilderness.{H4057}

For, because thou hast trusted{H982} in thy works{H4639} and in thy treasures,{H214} thou also shalt be taken:{H3920} and Chemosh{H3645} shall go forth{H3318} into captivity,{H1473} his priests{H3548} and his princes{H8269} together.{H3162}

And the destroyer{H7703} shall come{H935} upon every city,{H5892} and no city{H5892} shall escape;{H4422} the valley{H6010} also shall perish,{H6} and the plain{H4334} shall be destroyed;{H8045} as Jehovah{H3068} hath spoken.{H559}

Give{H5414} wings{H6731} unto Moab,{H4124} that she may fly{H5323} and get her away:{H3318} and her cities{H5892} shall become a desolation,{H8047} without any to dwell{H3427} therein.{H2004}

Cursed{H779} be he that doeth{H6213} the work{H4399} of Jehovah{H3068} negligently;{H7423} and cursed{H779} be he that keepeth back{H4513} his sword{H2719} from blood.{H1818}

Moab{H4124} hath been at ease{H7599} from his youth,{H5271} and he hath settled{H8252} on his lees,{H8105} and hath not been emptied{H7324} from vessel{H3627} to vessel,{H3627} neither hath he gone{H1980} into captivity:{H1473} therefore his taste{H2940} remaineth{H5975} in him, and his scent{H7381} is not changed.{H4171}

Therefore, behold, the days{H3117} come,{H935} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that I will send{H7971} unto him them that pour{H6808} off, and they shall pour{H6808} him off; and they shall empty{H7324} his vessels,{H3627} and break{H5310} their bottles{H5035} in pieces.

And Moab{H4124} shall be ashamed{H954} of Chemosh,{H3645} as the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} was ashamed{H954} of Beth-el{H1008} their confidence.{H4009}

How say{H559} ye, We are mighty{H1368} men, and valiant{H2428} men{H582} for the war?{H4421}

Moab{H4124} is laid waste,{H7703} and they are gone up{H5927} into his cities,{H5892} and his chosen{H4005} young men{H970} are gone down{H3381} to the slaughter,{H2874} saith{H5002} the King,{H4428} whose name{H8034} is Jehovah{H3068} of hosts.{H6635}

The calamity{H343} of Moab{H4124} is near{H7138} to come,{H935} and his affliction{H7451} hasteth{H4116} fast.{H3966}

All ye that are round about{H5439} him, bemoan{H5110} him, and all ye that know{H3045} his name;{H8034} say,{H559} How is the strong{H5797} staff{H4294} broken,{H7665} the beautiful{H8597} rod!{H4731}

O thou daughter{H1323} that dwellest{H3427} in Dibon,{H1769} come down{H3381} from thy glory,{H3519} and sit{H3427} in thirst;{H6772} for the destroyer{H7703} of Moab{H4124} is come{H5927} up against thee, he hath destroyed{H7843} thy strongholds.{H4013}

O inhabitant{H3427} of Aroer,{H6177} stand{H5975} by the way,{H1870} and watch:{H6822} ask{H7592} him that fleeth,{H5127} and her that escapeth;{H4422} say,{H559} What hath been done?{H1961}

Moab{H4124} is put to shame;{H3001} for it is broken down:{H2865} wail{H3213} and cry;{H2199} tell{H5046} ye it by the Arnon,{H769} that Moab{H4124} is laid waste.{H7703}

And judgment{H4941} is come{H935} upon the plain{H4334} country,{H776} upon Holon,{H2473} and upon Jahzah,{H3096} and upon Mephaath,{H4158}

and upon Dibon,{H1769} and upon Nebo,{H5015} and upon Beth-diblathaim,{H1015}

and upon Kiriathaim,{H7156} and upon Beth-gamul,{H1014} and upon Beth-meon,{H1010}

and upon Kerioth,{H7152} and upon Bozrah,{H1224} and upon all the cities{H5892} of the land{H776} of Moab,{H4124} far{H7350} or near.{H7138}

The horn{H7161} of Moab{H4124} is cut off,{H1438} and his arm{H2220} is broken,{H7665} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

Make ye him drunken;{H7937} for he magnified{H1431} himself against Jehovah:{H3068} and Moab{H4124} shall wallow{H5606} in his vomit,{H6892} and he also shall be in derision.{H7814}

For was not Israel{H3478} a derision{H7814} unto thee? was he found{H4672} among thieves?{H1590} for as often{H1767} as thou speakest{H1697} of him, thou waggest{H5110} the head.

O ye inhabitants{H3427} of Moab,{H4124} leave{H5800} the cities,{H5892} and dwell{H3427} in the rock;{H5553} and be like the dove{H3123} that maketh her nest{H7077} over{H5676} the mouth{H6310} of the abyss.{H6354}

We have heard{H8085} of the pride{H1347} of Moab,{H4124} [that] he is very{H3966} proud;{H1343} his loftiness,{H1363} and his pride,{H1347} and his arrogancy,{H1346} and the haughtiness{H7312} of his heart.{H3820}

I know{H3045} his wrath,{H5678} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} that it is nought; his boastings{H907} have wrought nothing.{H6213}

Therefore will I wail{H3213} for Moab;{H4124} yea, I will cry out{H2199} for all Moab:{H4124} for the men{H582} of Kir-heres{H7025} shall they mourn.{H1897}

With more than the weeping{H1065} of Jazer{H3270} will I weep{H1058} for thee, O vine{H1612} of Sibmah:{H7643} thy branches{H5189} passed over{H5674} the sea,{H3220} they reached{H5060} even to the sea{H3220} of Jazer:{H3270} upon thy summer fruits{H7019} and upon thy vintage{H1210} the destroyer{H7703} is fallen.{H5307}

And gladness{H1524} and joy{H8057} is taken{H622} away from the fruitful field{H3759} and from the land{H776} of Moab;{H4124} and I have caused wine{H3196} to cease{H7673} from the winepresses:{H3342} none shall tread{H1869} with shouting;{H1959} the shouting{H1959} shall be no shouting.{H1959}

From the cry{H2201} of Heshbon{H2809} even unto Elealeh,{H500} even unto Jahaz{H3096} have they uttered{H5414} their voice,{H6963} from Zoar{H6820} even unto Horonaim,{H2773} to Eglath -{H5697} shelishiyah:{H7992} for the waters{H4325} of Nimrim{H5249} also shall become desolate.{H4923}

Moreover I will cause to cease{H7673} in Moab,{H4124} saith{H5002} Jehovah,{H3068} him that offereth{H5927} in the high place,{H1116} and him that burneth incense{H6999} to his gods.{H430}

Therefore my heart{H3820} soundeth{H1993} for Moab{H4124} like pipes,{H2485} and my heart{H3820} soundeth{H1993} like pipes{H2485} for the men{H582} of Kir-heres:{H7025} therefore the abundance{H3502} that he hath gotten{H6213} is perished.{H6}

For every head{H7218} is bald,{H7144} and every beard{H2206} clipped:{H1639} upon all the hands{H3027} are cuttings,{H1417} and upon the loins{H4975} sackcloth.{H8242}

On all the housetops{H1406} of Moab{H4124} and in the streets{H7339} thereof there is lamentation{H4553} every where; for I have broken{H7665} Moab{H4124} like a vessel{H3627} wherein none delighteth,{H2656} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

How is it broken down!{H2865} [how] do they wail!{H3213} how hath Moab{H4124} turned{H6437} the back{H6203} with shame!{H954} so shall Moab{H4124} become a derision{H7814} and a terror{H4288} to all that are round about{H5439} him.

For thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Behold, he shall fly{H1675} as an eagle,{H5404} and shall spread{H6566} out his wings{H3671} against Moab.{H4124}

Kerioth{H7152} is taken,{H3920} and the strongholds{H4679} are seized,{H3920} and the heart{H3820} of the mighty men{H1368} of Moab{H4124} at that day{H3117} shall be as the heart{H3820} of a woman{H802} in her pangs.{H6887}

And Moab{H4124} shall be destroyed{H8045} from being a people,{H5971} because he hath magnified{H1431} himself against Jehovah.{H3068}

Fear,{H6343} and the pit,{H6354} and the snare,{H6341} are upon thee, O inhabitant{H3427} of Moab,{H4124} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

He that fleeth{H5127} from{H6440} the fear{H6343} shall fall{H5307} into the pit;{H6354} and he that getteth up{H5927} out of the pit{H6354} shall be taken{H3920} in the snare:{H6341} for I will bring{H935} upon him, even upon Moab,{H4124} the year{H8141} of their visitation,{H6486} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068}

They that fled{H5127} stand{H5975} without strength{H3581} under the shadow{H6738} of Heshbon;{H2809} for a fire{H784} is gone forth{H3318} out of Heshbon,{H2809} and a flame{H3852} from the midst{H996} of Sihon,{H5511} and hath devoured{H398} the corner{H6285} of Moab,{H4124} and the crown of the head{H6936} of the tumultuous{H7588} ones.{H1121}

Woe{H188} unto thee, O Moab!{H4124} the people{H5971} of Chemosh{H3645} is undone;{H6} for thy sons{H1121} are taken{H3947} away captive,{H7628} and thy daughters{H1323} into captivity.{H7633}

Yet will I bring back{H7725} the captivity{H7622} of Moab{H4124} in the latter{H319} days,{H3117} saith{H5002} Jehovah.{H3068} Thus far{H2008} is the judgment{H4941} of Moab.{H4124}
