Kiriathaim is disgraced and captured; the mighty stronghold is humbled and shattered. 2 The glory of Moab is no more! In Heshbon, a plan for disaster was made against her: 'Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!' Even Madmen will be silenced; the sword will follow you. 3 A cry of distress comes from Horonaim: great destruction and devastation! 4 Moab is broken! A cry is heard; even her young ones make their distress known. 5 For at the ascent of Luhith, weeping goes with the steps; as they descend to Horonaim, cries of destruction are heard from the enemy. 6 Flee! Save your lives like a juniper in the wilderness. 7 Because you trusted in your works and your treasures, you too will be captured! Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials together. 8 The destroyer will come to every city, and no city will escape. The valley will perish, and the plateau will be destroyed, for the LORD has spoken. 9 Give Moab wings so she may fly away, for her cities will become desolate, with no one living in them. 10 Cursed is the one who does the LORD's work negligently, and cursed is the one who withholds their sword from blood. 11 Moab has been at ease from her youth, settled on her dregs, not poured from vessel to vessel, nor gone into exile. Therefore her taste remains, and her aroma is unchanged. 12 Therefore, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will send those who pour out wine to tip her over; they will empty her vessels and shatter her jars. 13 Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence. 14 How can you say, 'We are warriors, men mighty in battle'? 15 Moab is devastated, and its towns have been destroyed! The best of its young men have gone down to slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts. 16 The calamity of Moab is near at hand, and her disaster is rushing swiftly. 17 Mourn for her, all you who surround her, and all who know her name; say, 'How the mighty rod of strength and the glorious staff is broken!' 18 Come down from your place of glory and sit in thirst, inhabitant daughter of Dibon, for the one who destroys Moab has attacked you, ruining your fortresses. 19 Stand by the road and watch, inhabitant of Aroer. Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping, 'What has happened?' 20 Moab is put to shame, for it is shattered. Wail and cry out! Proclaim at the Arnon that Moab is destroyed. 21 Judgment has come to the land of the plain—to Holon, to Jahaz, and to Mephaath, 22 to Dibon, to Nebo, and to Beth-diblathaim, 23 to Kiriathaim, to Beth-gamul, and to Beth-meon, 24 to Kerioth, to Bozrah, and to all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. 25 The horn of Moab is cut off, and her arm is broken, declares the LORD. 26 Make her drunk, for she has magnified herself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in her vomit and become an object of ridicule. 27 Was not Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he found among thieves, that whenever you speak of him you wag your head in scorn? 28 Abandon your cities and dwell among the rocks, O inhabitants of Moab. Be like a dove that makes its nest in the sides of the cave's opening. 29 We have heard of Moab's pride—so very proud—his arrogance, pride, conceit, and the haughtiness of his heart. 30 I know his fury, declares the LORD, but it is empty; his boasts accomplish nothing. 31 Therefore, I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab. For the men of Kir-heres, I will mourn. 32 I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah, more than for Jazer. Your branches spread to the sea, reaching as far as Jazer. The destroyer has fallen upon your summer fruit and your grape harvest. 33 Joy and gladness have been taken from the fertile fields and the land of Moab. I have stopped the wine flowing from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy. There is no joyful shouting. 34 The crying of Heshbon resounds to Elealeh and Jahaz, they have raised their voices from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. Even the waters of Nimrim are dried up. 35 I will put an end in Moab to the one who sacrifices on the high places and burns incense to his gods, declares the LORD. 36 Therefore, my heart moans for Moab like the sound of flutes; it moans like flutes for the men of Kir-heres, because their accumulated wealth has perished. 37 Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off, gashes are on all their hands, and sackcloth is wrapped around their waists. 38 On every rooftop of Moab and in its public squares, there is nothing but lamentation. For I have broken Moab like a jar no one wants, declares the LORD. 39 How shattered Moab is! Cry out! How Moab has turned his back in shame. So Moab will become a ridicule and a horror to all his neighbors. 40 For this is what the LORD says: Behold, one will fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against Moab. 41 The cities are captured, and the strongholds are seized. On that day, the heart of Moab's warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor. 42 Moab will be destroyed as a people, because he exalted himself against the LORD. 43 Terror, pit, and snare await you, O inhabitant of Moab, declares the LORD. 44 The one who flees from the terror will fall into the pit, and the one climbing out of the pit will be caught in the snare. For I will bring on Moab the year of their punishment, declares the LORD. 45 In the shadow of Heshbon, the fugitives stand helpless, for a fire has gone out from Heshbon, and a flame from Sihon. It devours the corner of Moab and the crown of the noisy boasters. 46 Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh are destroyed. Your sons have been taken into exile, and your daughters into captivity. 47 Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the latter days, declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab.
