Against Moab{H4124} thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}, the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}; Woe{H1945} unto Nebo{H5015}! for it is spoiled{H7703}{(H8795)}: Kiriathaim{H7156} is confounded{H3001}{(H8689)} and taken{H3920}{(H8738)}: Misgab{H4869} is confounded{H3001}{(H8689)} and dismayed{H2865}{(H8804)}.

There shall be no more praise{H8416} of Moab{H4124}: in Heshbon{H2809} they have devised{H2803}{(H8804)} evil{H7451} against it; come{H3212}{(H8798)}, and let us cut it off{H3772}{(H8686)} from being a nation{H1471}. Also thou shalt be cut down{H1826}{(H8735)}, O Madmen{H4086}; the sword{H2719} shall pursue{H3212}{(H8799)} thee{H310}.

A voice{H6963} of crying{H6818} shall be from Horonaim{H2773}, spoiling{H7701} and great{H1419} destruction{H7667}.

Moab{H4124} is destroyed{H7665}{(H8738)}; her little ones{H6810} have caused a cry{H2201} to be heard{H8085}{(H8689)}.

For in the going up{H4608} of Luhith{H3872} continual{H1065} weeping{H1065} shall go up{H5927}{(H8799)}; for in the going down{H4174} of Horonaim{H2773} the enemies{H6862} have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} a cry{H6818} of destruction{H7667}.

Flee{H5127}{(H8798)}, save{H4422}{(H8761)} your lives{H5315}, and be{H1961}{(H8799)} like the heath{H6176} in the wilderness{H4057}.

For because thou hast trusted{H982}{(H8800)} in thy works{H4639} and in thy treasures{H214}, thou shalt also be taken{H3920}{(H8735)}: and Chemosh{H3645} shall go forth{H3318}{(H8804)} into captivity{H1473} with his priests{H3548} and his princes{H8269} together{H3162}.

And the spoiler{H7703}{(H8802)} shall come{H935}{(H8799)} upon every city{H5892}, and no city{H5892} shall escape{H4422}{(H8735)}: the valley{H6010} also shall perish{H6}{(H8804)}, and the plain{H4334} shall be destroyed{H8045}{(H8738)}, as the LORD{H3068} hath spoken{H559}{(H8804)}.

Give{H5414}{(H8798)} wings{H6731} unto Moab{H4124}, that it may flee{H5323}{(H8800)} and get away{H3318}{(H8799)}: for the cities{H5892} thereof shall be desolate{H8047}, without any to dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} therein{H2004}.

Cursed{H779}{(H8803)} be he that doeth{H6213}{(H8802)} the work{H4399} of the LORD{H3068} deceitfully{H7423}, and cursed{H779}{(H8803)} be he that keepeth back{H4513}{(H8802)} his sword{H2719} from blood{H1818}.

Moab{H4124} hath been at ease{H7599}{(H8768)} from his youth{H5271}, and he hath settled{H8252}{(H8802)} on his lees{H8105}, and hath not been emptied{H7324}{(H8717)} from vessel{H3627} to vessel{H3627}, neither hath he gone{H1980}{(H8804)} into captivity{H1473}: therefore his taste{H2940} remained{H5975}{(H8804)} in him, and his scent{H7381} is not changed{H4171}{(H8738)}.

Therefore, behold, the days{H3117} come{H935}{(H8802)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, that I will send{H7971}{(H8765)} unto him wanderers{H6808}{(H8802)}, that shall cause him to wander{H6808}{(H8765)}, and shall empty{H7324}{(H8686)} his vessels{H3627}, and break{H5310}{(H8762)} their bottles{H5035}.

And Moab{H4124} shall be ashamed{H954}{(H8804)} of Chemosh{H3645}, as the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} was ashamed{H954}{(H8804)} of Bethel{H1008} their confidence{H4009}.

How say{H559}{(H8799)} ye, We are mighty{H1368} and strong{H2428} men{H582} for the war{H4421}?

Moab{H4124} is spoiled{H7703}{(H8795)}, and gone up{H5927}{(H8804)} out of her cities{H5892}, and his chosen{H4005} young men{H970} are gone down{H3381}{(H8804)} to the slaughter{H2874}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the King{H4428}, whose name{H8034} is the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}.

The calamity{H343} of Moab{H4124} is near{H7138} to come{H935}{(H8800)}, and his affliction{H7451} hasteth{H4116}{(H8765)} fast{H3966}.

All ye that are about{H5439} him, bemoan{H5110}{(H8798)} him; and all ye that know{H3045}{(H8802)} his name{H8034}, say{H559}{(H8798)}, How is the strong{H5797} staff{H4294} broken{H7665}{(H8738)}, and the beautiful{H8597} rod{H4731}!

Thou daughter{H1323} that dost inhabit{H3427}{(H8802)} Dibon{H1769}, come down{H3381}{(H8798)} from thy glory{H3519}, and sit{H3427}{(H8798)} in thirst{H6772}; for the spoiler{H7703}{(H8802)} of Moab{H4124} shall come{H5927}{(H8804)} upon thee, and he shall destroy{H7843}{(H8765)} thy strong holds{H4013}.

O inhabitant{H3427}{(H8802)} of Aroer{H6177}, stand{H5975}{(H8798)} by the way{H1870}, and espy{H6822}{(H8761)}; ask{H7592}{(H8798)} him that fleeth{H5127}{(H8801)}, and her that escapeth{H4422}{(H8737)}, and say{H559}{(H8798)}, What is done{H1961}{(H8738)}?

Moab{H4124} is confounded{H3001}{(H8689)}; for it is broken down{H2865}{(H8804)}: howl{H3213}{(H8685)} and cry{H2199}{(H8798)}; tell{H5046}{(H8685)} ye it in Arnon{H769}, that Moab{H4124} is spoiled{H7703}{(H8795)},

And judgment{H4941} is come{H935}{(H8804)} upon the plain{H4334} country{H776}; upon Holon{H2473}, and upon Jahazah{H3096}, and upon Mephaath{H4158},

And upon Dibon{H1769}, and upon Nebo{H5015}, and upon Bethdiblathaim{H1015},

And upon Kiriathaim{H7156}, and upon Bethgamul{H1014}, and upon Bethmeon{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}{(H8738)}, and his arm{H2220} is broken{H7665}{(H8738)}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

Make ye him drunken{H7937}{(H8685)}: for he magnified{H1431}{(H8689)} himself against the LORD{H3068}: Moab{H4124} also shall wallow{H5606}{(H8804)} 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}{(H8738)} among thieves{H1590}? for since{H1767} thou spakest{H1697} of him, thou skippedst{H5110}{(H8709)} for joy.

O ye that dwell{H3427}{(H8802)} in Moab{H4124}, leave{H5800}{(H8798)} the cities{H5892}, and dwell{H7931}{(H8798)} in the rock{H5553}, and be like the dove{H3123} that maketh her nest{H7077}{(H8762)} in the sides{H5676} of the hole's{H6354} mouth{H6310}.

We have heard{H8085}{(H8804)} the pride{H1347} of Moab{H4124},(he{H1931} is exceeding{H3966} proud{H1343}) his loftiness{H1363}, and his arrogancy{H1346}, and his pride{H1347}, and the haughtiness{H7312} of his heart{H3820}.

I know{H3045}{(H8804)} his wrath{H5678}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}; but it shall not be so; his lies{H907} shall not so effect{H6213}{(H8804)} it.

Therefore will I howl{H3213}{(H8686)} for Moab{H4124}, and I will cry out{H2199}{(H8799)} for all Moab{H4124}; mine heart shall mourn{H1897}{(H8799)} for the men{H582} of Kirheres{H7025}.

O vine{H1612} of Sibmah{H7643}, I will weep{H1058}{(H8799)} for thee with the weeping{H1065} of Jazer{H3270}: thy plants{H5189} are gone over{H5674}{(H8804)} the sea{H3220}, they reach{H5060}{(H8804)} even to the sea{H3220} of Jazer{H3270}: the spoiler{H7703}{(H8802)} is fallen{H5307}{(H8804)} upon thy summer fruits{H7019} and upon thy vintage{H1210}.

And joy{H8057} and gladness{H1524} is taken{H622}{(H8738)} from the plentiful field{H3759}, and from the land{H776} of Moab{H4124}; and I have caused wine{H3196} to fail{H7673}{(H8689)} from the winepresses{H3342}: none shall tread{H1869}{(H8799)} with shouting{H1959}; their shouting{H1959} shall be no shouting{H1959}.

From the cry{H2201} of Heshbon{H2809} even unto Elealeh{H500}, and even unto Jahaz{H3096}, have they uttered{H5414}{(H8804)} their voice{H6963}, from Zoar{H6820} even unto Horonaim{H2773}, as an heifer{H5697} of three years old{H7992}: for the waters{H4325} also of Nimrim{H5249} shall be desolate{H4923}.

Moreover I will cause to cease{H7673}{(H8689)} in Moab{H4124}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}, him that offereth{H5927}{(H8688)} in the high places{H1116}, and him that burneth incense{H6999}{(H8688)} to his gods{H430}.

Therefore mine heart{H3820} shall sound{H1993}{(H8799)} for Moab{H4124} like pipes{H2485}, and mine heart{H3820} shall sound{H1993}{(H8799)} like pipes{H2485} for the men{H582} of Kirheres{H7025}: because the riches{H3502} that he hath gotten{H6213}{(H8804)} are perished{H6}{(H8804)}.

For every head{H7218} shall be bald{H7144}, and every beard{H2206} clipped{H1639}{(H8803)}: upon all the hands{H3027} shall be cuttings{H1417}, and upon the loins{H4975} sackcloth{H8242}.

There shall be lamentation{H4553} generally upon all the housetops{H1406} of Moab{H4124}, and in the streets{H7339} thereof: for I have broken{H7665}{(H8804)} Moab{H4124} like a vessel{H3627} wherein is no pleasure{H2656}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

They shall howl{H3213}{(H8685)}, saying, How is it broken down{H2865}{(H8804)}! how hath Moab{H4124} turned{H6437}{(H8689)} the back{H6203} with shame{H954}{(H8804)}! so shall Moab{H4124} be a derision{H7814} and a dismaying{H4288} to all them about{H5439} him.

For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}; Behold, he shall fly{H1675}{(H8799)} as an eagle{H5404}, and shall spread{H6566}{(H8804)} his wings{H3671} over Moab{H4124}.

Kerioth{H7152} is taken{H3920}{(H8738)}, and the strong holds{H4679} are surprised{H8610}{(H8738)}, and the mighty men's{H1368} hearts{H3820} in Moab{H4124} at that day{H3117} shall be as the heart{H3820} of a woman{H802} in her pangs{H6887}{(H8688)}.

And Moab{H4124} shall be destroyed{H8045}{(H8738)} from being a people{H5971}, because he hath magnified{H1431}{(H8689)} himself against the LORD{H3068}.

Fear{H6343}, and the pit{H6354}, and the snare{H6341}, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant{H3427}{(H8802)} of Moab{H4124}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

He that fleeth{H5127}{(H8801)}{(H8675)}{H5211} from{H6440} the fear{H6343} shall fall{H5307}{(H8799)} into the pit{H6354}; and he that getteth up{H5927}{(H8802)} out of the pit{H6354} shall be taken{H3920}{(H8735)} in the snare{H6341}: for I will bring{H935}{(H8686)} upon it, even upon Moab{H4124}, the year{H8141} of their visitation{H6486}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}.

They that fled{H5127}{(H8801)} stood{H5975}{(H8804)} under the shadow{H6738} of Heshbon{H2809} because of the force{H3581}: but a fire{H784} shall come forth{H3318}{(H8804)} out of Heshbon{H2809}, and a flame{H3852} from the midst{H996} of Sihon{H5511}, and shall devour{H398}{(H8799)} the corner{H6285} of Moab{H4124}, and the crown of the head{H6936} of the tumultuous{H7588} ones{H1121}.

Woe{H188} be unto thee, O Moab{H4124}! the people{H5971} of Chemosh{H3645} perisheth{H6}{(H8804)}: for thy sons{H1121} are taken{H3947}{(H8795)} captives{H7628}, and thy daughters{H1323} captives{H7633}.

Yet will I bring again{H7725}{(H8804)} the captivity{H7622} of Moab{H4124} in the latter{H319} days{H3117}, saith{H5002}{(H8803)} the LORD{H3068}. Thus far{H2008} is the judgment{H4941} of Moab{H4124}.
