In Heshbon they have devised evil against it: 'Come, and let us cut it off from being a nation.' You too shall be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue you. 3 A voice of crying shall be heard from Horonaim, plundering and great destruction. 4 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have set up a cry. 5 For on the ascent of Luhith they will go up with continual weeping; for on the descent of Horonaim, the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. 6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. 7 Because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you shall also be taken; and Chemosh shall go into captivity with his priests and his princes together. 8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken. 9 Give wings to Moab, that it may flee and get away; for its cities shall be desolate, without any to dwell in them. 10 Cursed be he who does the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood. 11 Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into captivity; therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is unchanged. 12 Therefore behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will send to him wanderers, who shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels and break their bottles. 13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence. 14 How do you say, 'We are mighty and strong men for the war'? 15 Moab is plundered, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts. 16 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hastens quickly. 17 All you who are around him, bemoan him; and all you who know his name say, 'How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!' 18 You daughter who inhabits Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon you, and he shall destroy your strongholds. 19 O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch; ask him who flees and her who escapes, 'What has happened?' 20 Moab is confounded, for it is broken down.
