48Concerning Moab. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, " Woe to Nebo, for it has been destroyed; Kiriathaim has been put to shame, it has been captured; The lofty stronghold has been put to shame and shattered.H4124H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1945H5015H7703H7156H3001H3920H4869H3001H2865 2"There is praise for Moab no longer; In Heshbon they have devised calamity against her: 'Come and let us cut her off from [being] a nation!' You too, Madmen, will be silenced; The sword will follow after you.H8416H4124H2809H2803H7451H3212H3772H1471H1826H4086H2719H3212H310 3"The sound of an outcry from Horonaim, 'Devastation and great destruction!'H6963H6818H2773H7701H1419H7667 4"Moab is broken, Her little ones have sounded out a cry [of distress.]H4124H7665H6810H2201H8085 5"For by the ascent of Luhith They will ascend with continual weeping; For at the descent of Horonaim They have heard the anguished cry of destruction.H4608H3872H1065H1065H5927H4174H2773H6862H8085H6818H7667 6"Flee, save your lives, That you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.H5127H4422H5315H1961H6176H4057 7"For because of your trust in your own achievements and treasures, Even you yourself will be captured; And Chemosh will go off into exile Together with his priests and his princes.H982H4639H214H3920H3645H3318H1473H3548H8269H3162 8"And a destroyer will come to every city, So that no city will escape; The valley also will be ruined, And the plateau will be destroyed, As the LORD has said.H7703H935H5892H5892H4422H6010H6H4334H8045H3068H559 9"Give wings to Moab, For she will flee away; And her cities will become a desolation, Without inhabitants in them.H5414H6731H4124H5323H3318H5892H8047H3427H2004 10"Cursed be the one who does the Lord's work negligently, And cursed be the one who restrains his sword from blood.H779H6213H4399H3068H7423H779H4513H2719H1818 11"Moab has been at ease since his youth; He has also been undisturbed on his lees, Neither has he been emptied from vessel to vessel, Nor has he gone into exile. Therefore he retains his flavor, And his aroma has not changed.H4124H7599H5271H8252H8105H7324H3627H3627H1980H1473H2940H5975H7381H4171 12"Therefore behold, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when I shall send to him those who tip [vessels,] and they will tip him over, and they will empty his vessels and shatter his jars.H3117H935H5002H3068H7971H6808H6808H7324H3627H5310H5035 13"And Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.H4124H954H3645H1004H3478H954H1008H4009 14"How can you say, 'We are mighty warriors, And men valiant for battle'?H559H1368H2428H582H4421 15"Moab has been destroyed, and men have gone up to his cities; His choicest young men have also gone down to the slaughter," Declares the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.H4124H7703H5927H5892H4005H970H3381H2874H5002H4428H8034H3068H6635 16"The disaster of Moab will soon come, And his calamity has swiftly hastened.H343H4124H7138H935H7451H4116H3966 17"Mourn for him, all you who [live] around him, Even all of you who know his name; Say, 'How has the mighty scepter been broken, A staff of splendor!'H5439H5110H3045H8034H559H5797H4294H7665H8597H4731 18"Come down from your glory And sit on the parched ground, O daughter dwelling in Dibon, For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, He has ruined your strongholds.H1323H3427H1769H3381H3519H3427H6772H7703H4124H5927H7843H4013 19"Stand by the road and keep watch, O inhabitant of Aroer; Ask him who flees and her who escapes [And] say, 'What has happened?'H3427H6177H5975H1870H6822H7592H5127H4422H559H1961 20"Moab has been put to shame, for it has been shattered.

Or was he caught among thieves? For each time you speak about him you shake [your head in scorn.]H3478H7814H4672H1590H1767H1697H5110 28"Leave the cities and dwell among the crags, O inhabitants of Moab, And be like a dove that nests Beyond the mouth of the chasm.H3427H4124H5800H5892H7931H5553H3123H7077H5676H6354H6310 29"We have heard of the pride of Moab— he [is] very proud— Of his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance and his self-exaltation.H8085H1347H4124H3966H1343H1363H1346H1347H7312H3820 30"I know his fury," declares the LORD, "But it is futile; His idle boasts have accomplished nothing.H3045H5678H5002H3068H907H6213 31"Therefore I shall wail for Moab, Even for all Moab shall I cry out; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.H3213H4124H2199H4124H1897H582H7025 32"More than the weeping for Jazer I shall weep for you, O vine of Sibmah! Your tendrils stretched across the sea, They reached to the sea of Jazer; Upon your summer fruits and your grape harvest The destroyer has fallen.H1612H7643H1058H1065H3270H5189H5674H3220H5060H3220H3270H7703H5307H7019H1210 33"So gladness and joy are taken away From the fruitful field, even from the land of Moab. And I have made the wine to cease from the wine presses; No one will tread [them] with shouting, The shouting will not be shouts [of joy.]H8057H1524H622H3759H776H4124H3196H7673H3342H1869H1959H1959H1959 34"From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have raised their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim [and to] Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim will become desolate.H2201H2809H500H3096H5414H6963H6820H2773H5697H7992H4325H5249H4923 35"And I shall make an end of Moab," declares the LORD, "the one who offers [sacrifice] on the high place and the one who burns incense to his gods.H7673H4124H5002H3068H5927H1116H6999H430 36"Therefore My heart wails for Moab like flutes; My heart also wails like flutes for the men of Kir-heres. Therefore they have lost the abundance it produced.H3820H1993H4124H2485H3820H1993H2485H582H7025H3502H6213H6 37"For every head is bald and every beard cut short; there are gashes on all the hands and sackcloth on the loins.H7218H7144H2206H1639H3027H1417H4975H8242 38"On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like an undesirable vessel," declares the LORD.H4553H1406H4124H7339H7665H4124H3627H2656H5002H3068 39"How shattered it is! [How] they have wailed! How Moab has turned his back— he is ashamed! So Moab will become a laughingstock and an object of terror to all around him."H3213H2865H4124H6437H6203H954H4124H7814H4288H5439 40For thus says the LORD, "Behold, one will fly swiftly like an eagle, And spread out his wings against Moab.H559H3068H1675H5404H6566H3671H4124 41"Kerioth has been captured And the strongholds have been seized, So the hearts of the mighty men of Moab in that day Will be like the heart of a woman in labor.H7152H3920H4679H8610H1368H3820H4124H3117H3820H802H6887 42"And Moab will be destroyed from [being] a people Because he has become arrogant toward the LORD.H4124H8045H5971H1431H3068 43"Terror, pit, and snare are [coming] upon you, O inhabitant of Moab," declares the LORD.H6343H6354H6341H3427H4124H5002H3068 44"The one who flees from the terror Will fall into the pit, And the one who climbs up out of the pit Will be caught in the snare; For I shall bring upon her, [even] upon Moab, The year of their punishment," declares the LORD.H5127H5211H6440H6343H5307H6354H5927H6354H3920H6341H935H4124H8141H6486H5002H3068 45"In the shadow of Heshbon The fugitives stand without strength; For a fire has gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from the midst of Sihon, And it has devoured the forehead of Moab And the scalps of the riotous revelers.H5127H5975H6738H2809H3581H784H3318H2809H3852H996H5511H398H6285H4124H6936H7588H1121 46"Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished; For your sons have been taken away captive, And your daughters into captivity.H188H4124H5971H3645H6H1121H3947H7628H1323H7633 47"Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab In the latter days," declares the LORD. Thus far the judgment on Moab.H7725H7622H4124H319H3117H5002H3068H2008H4941H4124
