Against Moab⁴¹²⁴ thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts,⁶⁶³⁵ the Elohim⁴³⁰ of Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ Woe¹⁹⁴⁵ unto Nebo!⁵⁰¹⁵ for it is spoiled:⁷⁷⁰³ Kiriathaim⁷¹⁵⁶ is confounded³⁰⁰¹ and taken:³⁹²⁰ Misgab⁴⁸⁶⁹ is confounded³⁰⁰¹ and dismayed.²⁸⁶⁵

There shall be no more praise⁸⁴¹⁶ of Moab:⁴¹²⁴ in Heshbon²⁸⁰⁹ they have devised²⁸⁰³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ against it; come,³²¹² and let us cut it off³⁷⁷² from being a nation.¹⁴⁷¹ Also thou shalt be cut down,¹⁸²⁶ O Madmen;⁴⁰⁸⁶ the sword²⁷¹⁹ shall pursue³²¹² thee.

A voice⁶⁹⁶³ of crying⁶⁸¹⁸ shall be from Horonaim,²⁷⁷³ spoiling⁷⁷⁰¹ and great¹⁴¹⁹ destruction.⁷⁶⁶⁷

Moab⁴¹²⁴ is destroyed;⁷⁶⁶⁵ her little ones⁶⁸¹⁰ have caused a cry²²⁰¹ to be heard.⁸⁰⁸⁵

For in the going up⁴⁶⁰⁸ of Luhith³⁸⁷² continual¹⁰⁶⁵ weeping¹⁰⁶⁵ shall go up;⁵⁹²⁷ for in the going down⁴¹⁷⁴ of Horonaim²⁷⁷³ the enemies⁶⁸⁶² have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ a cry⁶⁸¹⁸ of destruction.⁷⁶⁶⁷

Flee,⁵¹²⁷ save⁴⁴²² your lives,⁵³¹⁵ and be¹⁹⁶¹ like the heath⁶¹⁷⁶ in the wilderness.⁴⁰⁵⁷

For because thou hast trusted⁹⁸² in thy works⁴⁶³⁹ and in thy treasures,²¹⁴ thou shalt also be taken:³⁹²⁰ and Chemosh³⁶⁴⁵ shall go forth³³¹⁸ into captivity¹⁴⁷³ with his priests³⁵⁴⁸ and his princes⁸²⁶⁹ together.³¹⁶²

And the spoiler⁷⁷⁰³ shall come⁹³⁵ upon every city,⁵⁸⁹² and no city⁵⁸⁹² shall escape:⁴⁴²² the valley⁶⁰¹⁰ also shall perish,⁶ and the plain⁴³³⁴ shall be destroyed,⁸⁰⁴⁵ as Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ hath spoken.⁵⁵⁹

Give⁵⁴¹⁴ wings⁶⁷³¹ unto Moab,⁴¹²⁴ that it may flee⁵³²³ and get away:³³¹⁸ for the cities⁵⁸⁹² thereof shall be desolate,⁸⁰⁴⁷ without any to dwell³⁴²⁷ therein.²⁰⁰⁴

Cursed⁷⁷⁹ be he that doeth⁶²¹³ the work⁴³⁹⁹ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ deceitfully,⁷⁴²³ and cursed⁷⁷⁹ be he that keepeth back⁴⁵¹³ his sword²⁷¹⁹ from blood.¹⁸¹⁸

Moab⁴¹²⁴ hath been at ease⁷⁵⁹⁹ from his youth,⁵²⁷¹ and he hath settled⁸²⁵² on his lees,⁸¹⁰⁵ and hath not been emptied⁷³²⁴ from vessel³⁶²⁷ to vessel,³⁶²⁷ neither hath he gone¹⁹⁸⁰ into captivity:¹⁴⁷³ therefore his taste²⁹⁴⁰ remained⁵⁹⁷⁵ in him, and his scent⁷³⁸¹ is not changed.⁴¹⁷¹

Therefore, behold, the days³¹¹⁷ come,⁹³⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ that I will send⁷⁹⁷¹ unto him wanderers,⁶⁸⁰⁸ that shall cause him to wander,⁶⁸⁰⁸ and shall empty⁷³²⁴ his vessels,³⁶²⁷ and break⁵³¹⁰ their bottles.⁵⁰³⁵

And Moab⁴¹²⁴ shall be ashamed⁹⁵⁴ of Chemosh,³⁶⁴⁵ as the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ was ashamed⁹⁵⁴ of Bethel¹⁰⁰⁸ their confidence.⁴⁰⁰⁹

How say⁵⁵⁹ ye, We are mighty¹³⁶⁸ and strong²⁴²⁸ men⁵⁸² for the war?⁴⁴²¹

Moab⁴¹²⁴ is spoiled,⁷⁷⁰³ and gone up⁵⁹²⁷ out of her cities,⁵⁸⁹² and his chosen⁴⁰⁰⁵ young men⁹⁷⁰ are gone down³³⁸¹ to the slaughter,²⁸⁷⁴ saith⁵⁰⁰² the King,⁴⁴²⁸ whose name⁸⁰³⁴ is Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts.⁶⁶³⁵

The calamity³⁴³ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ is near⁷¹³⁸ to come,⁹³⁵ and his affliction⁷⁴⁵¹ hasteth⁴¹¹⁶ fast.³⁹⁶⁶

All ye that are about⁵⁴³⁹ him, bemoan⁵¹¹⁰ him; and all ye that know³⁰⁴⁵ his name,⁸⁰³⁴ say,⁵⁵⁹ How is the strong⁵⁷⁹⁷ staff⁴²⁹⁴ broken,⁷⁶⁶⁵ and the beautiful⁸⁵⁹⁷ rod!⁴⁷³¹

Thou daughter¹³²³ that dost inhabit³⁴²⁷ Dibon,¹⁷⁶⁹ come down³³⁸¹ from thy glory,³⁵¹⁹ and sit³⁴²⁷ in thirst;⁶⁷⁷² for the spoiler⁷⁷⁰³ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ shall come⁵⁹²⁷ upon thee, and he shall destroy⁷⁸⁴³ thy strong holds.⁴⁰¹³

O inhabitant³⁴²⁷ of Aroer,⁶¹⁷⁷ stand⁵⁹⁷⁵ by the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ and espy;⁶⁸²² ask⁷⁵⁹² him that fleeth,⁵¹²⁷ and her that escapeth,⁴⁴²² and say,⁵⁵⁹ What is done?¹⁹⁶¹

Moab⁴¹²⁴ is confounded;³⁰⁰¹ for it is broken down:²⁸⁶⁵ howl³²¹³ and cry;²¹⁹⁹ tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ ye it in Arnon,⁷⁶⁹ that Moab⁴¹²⁴ is spoiled,⁷⁷⁰³

And judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ is come⁹³⁵ upon the plain⁴³³⁴ country;⁷⁷⁶ upon Holon,²⁴⁷³ and upon Jahazah,³⁰⁹⁶ and upon Mephaath,⁴¹⁵⁸

And upon Dibon,¹⁷⁶⁹ and upon Nebo,⁵⁰¹⁵ and upon Bethdiblathaim,¹⁰¹⁵

And upon Kiriathaim,⁷¹⁵⁶ and upon Bethgamul,¹⁰¹⁴ and upon Bethmeon,¹⁰¹⁰

And upon Kerioth,⁷¹⁵² and upon Bozrah,¹²²⁴ and upon all the cities⁵⁸⁹² of the land⁷⁷⁶ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ far⁷³⁵⁰ or near.⁷¹³⁸

The horn⁷¹⁶¹ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ is cut off,¹⁴³⁸ and his arm²²²⁰ is broken,⁷⁶⁶⁵ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

Make ye him drunken:⁷⁹³⁷ for he magnified¹⁴³¹ himself against Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸ Moab⁴¹²⁴ also shall wallow⁵⁶⁰⁶ in his vomit,⁶⁸⁹² and he also shall be in derision.⁷⁸¹⁴

For was not Israel³⁴⁷⁸ a derision⁷⁸¹⁴ unto thee? was he found⁴⁶⁷² among thieves?¹⁵⁹⁰ for since¹⁷⁶⁷ thou spakest¹⁶⁹⁷ of him, thou skippedst⁵¹¹⁰ for joy.

O ye that dwell³⁴²⁷ in Moab,⁴¹²⁴ leave⁵⁸⁰⁰ the cities,⁵⁸⁹² and dwell⁷⁹³¹ in the rock,⁵⁵⁵³ and be like the dove³¹²³ that maketh her nest⁷⁰⁷⁷ in the sides⁵⁶⁷⁶ of the hole's⁶³⁵⁴ mouth.⁶³¹⁰

We have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the pride¹³⁴⁷ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ (he is exceeding³⁹⁶⁶ proud)¹³⁴³ his loftiness,¹³⁶³ and his arrogancy,¹³⁴⁷ and his pride,¹³⁴⁶ and the haughtiness⁷³¹² of his heart.³⁸²⁰

I know³⁰⁴⁵ his wrath,⁵⁶⁷⁸ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ but it shall not be so; his lies⁹⁰⁷ shall not so effect⁶²¹³ it.

Therefore will I howl³²¹³ for Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and I will cry out²¹⁹⁹ for all Moab;⁴¹²⁴ mine heart shall mourn¹⁸⁹⁷ for the men⁵⁸² of Kirheres.⁷⁰²⁵

O vine¹⁶¹² of Sibmah,⁷⁶⁴³ I will weep¹⁰⁵⁸ for thee with the weeping¹⁰⁶⁵ of Jazer:³²⁷⁰ thy plants⁵¹⁸⁹ are gone over⁵⁶⁷⁴ the sea,³²²⁰ they reach⁵⁰⁶⁰ even to the sea³²²⁰ of Jazer:³²⁷⁰ the spoiler⁷⁷⁰³ is fallen⁵³⁰⁷ upon thy summer fruits⁷⁰¹⁹ and upon thy vintage.¹²¹⁰

And joy⁸⁰⁵⁷ and gladness¹⁵²⁴ is taken⁶²² from the plentiful field,³⁷⁵⁹ and from the land⁷⁷⁶ of Moab;⁴¹²⁴ and I have caused wine³¹⁹⁶ to fail⁷⁶⁷³ from the winepresses:³³⁴² none shall tread¹⁸⁶⁹ with shouting;¹⁹⁵⁹ their shouting¹⁹⁵⁹ shall be no shouting.¹⁹⁵⁹

From the cry²²⁰¹ of Heshbon²⁸⁰⁹ even unto Elealeh,⁵⁰⁰ and even unto Jahaz,³⁰⁹⁶ have they uttered⁵⁴¹⁴ their voice,⁶⁹⁶³ from Zoar⁶⁸²⁰ even unto Horonaim,²⁷⁷³ as an heifer⁵⁶⁹⁷ of three years old:⁷⁹⁹² for the waters⁴³²⁵ also of Nimrim⁵²⁴⁹ shall be desolate.⁴⁹²³

Moreover I will cause to cease⁷⁶⁷³ in Moab,⁴¹²⁴ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ him that offereth⁵⁹²⁷ in the high places,¹¹¹⁶ and him that burneth incense⁶⁹⁹⁹ to his mighty ones.⁴³⁰

Therefore mine heart³⁸²⁰ shall sound¹⁹⁹³ for Moab⁴¹²⁴ like pipes,²⁴⁸⁵ and mine heart³⁸²⁰ shall sound¹⁹⁹³ like pipes²⁴⁸⁵ for the men⁵⁸² of Kirheres:⁷⁰²⁵ because the riches³⁵⁰² that he hath gotten⁶²¹³ are perished.⁶

For every head⁷²¹⁸ shall be bald,⁷¹⁴⁴ and every beard²²⁰⁶ clipped:¹⁶³⁹ upon all the hands³⁰²⁷ shall be cuttings,¹⁴¹⁷ and upon the loins⁴⁹⁷⁵ sackcloth.⁸²⁴²

There shall be lamentation⁴⁵⁵³ generally upon all the housetops¹⁴⁰⁶ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and in the streets⁷³³⁹ thereof: for I have broken⁷⁶⁶⁵ Moab⁴¹²⁴ like a vessel³⁶²⁷ wherein is no pleasure,²⁶⁵⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

They shall howl,³²¹³ saying, How is it broken down!²⁸⁶⁵ how hath Moab⁴¹²⁴ turned⁶⁴³⁷ the back⁶²⁰³ with shame!⁹⁵⁴ so shall Moab⁴¹²⁴ be a derision⁷⁸¹⁴ and a dismaying⁴²⁸⁸ to all them about⁵⁴³⁹ him.

For thus saith⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ Behold, he shall fly¹⁶⁷⁵ as an eagle,⁵⁴⁰⁴ and shall spread⁶⁵⁶⁶ his wings³⁶⁷¹ over Moab.⁴¹²⁴

Kerioth⁷¹⁵² is taken,³⁹²⁰ and the strong holds⁴⁶⁷⁹ are surprised,⁸⁶¹⁰ and the mighty men's¹³⁶⁸ hearts³⁸²⁰ in Moab⁴¹²⁴ at that day³¹¹⁷ shall be as the heart³⁸²⁰ of a woman⁸⁰² in her pangs.⁶⁸⁸⁷

And Moab⁴¹²⁴ shall be destroyed⁸⁰⁴⁵ from being a people,⁵⁹⁷¹ because he hath magnified¹⁴³¹ himself against Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

Fear,⁶³⁴³ and the pit,⁶³⁵⁴ and the snare,⁶³⁴¹ shall be upon thee, O inhabitant³⁴²⁷ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

He that fleeth⁵¹²⁷ from⁶⁴⁴⁰ the fear⁶³⁴³ shall fall⁵³⁰⁷ into the pit;⁶³⁵⁴ and he that getteth up⁵⁹²⁷ out of the pit⁶³⁵⁴ shall be taken³⁹²⁰ in the snare:⁶³⁴¹ for I will bring⁹³⁵ upon it, even upon Moab,⁴¹²⁴ the year⁸¹⁴¹ of their visitation,⁶⁴⁸⁶ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸

They that fled⁵¹²⁷ stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ under the shadow⁶⁷³⁸ of Heshbon²⁸⁰⁹ because of the force:³⁵⁸¹ but a fire⁷⁸⁴ shall come forth³³¹⁸ out of Heshbon,²⁸⁰⁹ and a flame³⁸⁵² from the midst⁹⁹⁶ of Sihon,⁵⁵¹¹ and shall devour³⁹⁸ the corner⁶²⁸⁵ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ and the crown of the head⁶⁹³⁶ of the tumultuous⁷⁵⁸⁸ ones.¹¹²¹

Woe¹⁸⁸ be unto thee, O Moab!⁴¹²⁴ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ of Chemosh³⁶⁴⁵ perisheth:⁶ for thy sons¹¹²¹ are taken³⁹⁴⁷ captives,⁷⁶²⁸ and thy daughters¹³²³ captives.⁷⁶³³

Yet will I bring again⁷⁷²⁵ the captivity⁷⁶²² of Moab⁴¹²⁴ in the latter³¹⁹ days,³¹¹⁷ saith⁵⁰⁰² Yahweh.³⁰⁶⁸ Thus far²⁰⁰⁸ is the judgment⁴⁹⁴¹ of Moab.⁴¹²⁴
