International Standard Version Help
48To Moab: This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says: "How terrible for Nebo, for it's laid waste. Kiriathiam is put to shame, it's captured. The fortress is put to shame, it's shattered.H4124H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1945H5015H7703H7156H3001H3920H4869H3001H2865
2The pride of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they plotted evil against her: 'Come and let's eliminate her as a nation.' Madmen will also be silenced, and the sword will pursue you.H8416H4124H2809H2803H7451H3212H3772H1471H1826H4086H2719H3212H310
3The sound of crying will come from Horonaim, devastation and great destruction.H6963H6818H2773H7701H1419H7667
4Moab will be destroyed; her little ones will cry out.H4124H7665H6810H2201H8085
5Indeed, at the ascent of Luhith people will go up with bitter weeping. At the descent of Horonaim the anguished cries over the destruction will be heard.H4608H3872H1065H1065H5927H4174H2773H6862H8085H6818H7667
6Flee, save your lives, and you will be like a wild donkey in the desert.H5127H4422H5315H1961H6176H4057
7But, because you trust in your deeds and your riches, you will also be captured. Chemosh will go out into exile, along with his priests and officials.H982H4639H214H3920H3645H3318H1473H3548H8269H3162
8A destroyer will come to every town and no town will escape. The valley will be ruined and the plateau destroyed." This is what the Lord has said!H7703H935H5892H5892H4422H6010H6H4334H8045H3068H559
9Put salt on Moab for she will surely fall. Her towns will become desolate places, without any inhabitants in them.H5414H6731H4124H5323H3318H5892H8047H3427H2004
10Cursed is the one who is slack in doing the Lord's work. Cursed is the one who holds back his sword from shedding blood.H779H6213H4399H3068H7423H779H4513H2719H1818
11Moab has been at ease from his youth. He has been undisturbed like wine on its dregs and not poured from vessel to vessel. He has not gone into exile. Therefore, his flavor has remained, and his aroma has not changed.H4124H7599H5271H8252H8105H7324H3627H3627H1980H1473H2940H5975H7381H4171
12"Therefore, look, days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I'll send those who tip over vessels to him, and they'll tip him over. They'll empty his vessels and shatter his jars.H3117H935H5002H3068H7971H6808H6808H7324H3627H5310H5035
13Moab will be ashamed because of Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed because of Bethel, their confidence.H4124H954H3645H1004H3478H954H1008H4009
14"How can you say, 'We're strong warriors, and soldiers ready for battle' -H559H1368H2428H582H4421
15Moab will be destroyed, and the enemy will come up against her cities. Her finest young men will go down to slaughter," declares the King, whose name is the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.H4124H7703H5927H5892H4005H970H3381H2874H5002H4428H8034H3068H6635
16Moab's disaster is near at hand, and his calamity is coming very quickly.H343H4124H7138H935H7451H4116H3966
17Mourn for him, all who live around him, and all who know his name. Say, 'Oh how the mighty rod is broken, the glorious staff.H5439H5110H3045H8034H559H5797H4294H7665H8597H4731
18Come down from glory, and sit on parched ground, O woman who lives in Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab will come up against you to destroy you. He will destroy your strongholds.H1323H3427H1769H3381H3519H3427H6772H7703H4124H5927H7843H4013
19Stand by the road and keep watch, O woman who lives in Aroer. Ask the man who flees and the woman who escapes. Say, 'What happened' -H3427H6177H5975H1870H6822H7592H5127H4422H559H1961
20Moab will be put to shame, for it will be destroyed. Wail and cry out. Announce by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.H4124H3001H2865H3213H2199H5046H769H4124H7703
21Judgment has come to the plateau: to Holon and Jahzah, and against Mephaath,H4941H935H4334H776H2473H3096H4158
22Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,H1769H5015H1015
23against Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,H7156H1014H1010
24against Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns in the land of Moab, both far and near.H7152H1224H5892H776H4124H7350H7138
25The strength of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken," declares the Lord.H7161H4124H1438H2220H7665H5002H3068
26Make him drunk for he has exalted himself against the Lord. Moab will wallow in his vomit, and he will be the object of mocking.H7937H1431H3068H4124H5606H6892H7814
27Wasn't Israel an object of mocking for you?Wasn't he treated like a thief, so that whenever you spoke about him you shook your head in contempt -H3478H7814H4672H1590H1767H1697H5110
28Abandon the cities, and live on the cliffs, you inhabitants of Moab. Be like a dove that builds a nest by the mouth of a cave.H3427H4124H5800H5892H7931H5553H3123H7077H5676H6354H6310
29We have heard about Moab's pride?he's very proud?his haughtiness, his arrogance, his insolence, and his conceit.H8085H1347H4124H3966H1343H1363H1346H1347H7312H3820
30I know his gall," declares the Lord, "and it's futile; the boasting that they do is futile.H3045H5678H5002H3068H907H6213
31Therefore, I'll wail for Moab, and for the whole of Moab I'll cry out, for the men of Kir-heres I'll moan.H3213H4124H2199H4124H1897H582H7025
32More than the weeping for Jazer, I'll weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches spread out to the sea, and reached as far as the Sea of Jazer. On your summer fruit and grapes the destroyer will fall.H1612H7643H1058H1065H3270H5189H5674H3220H5060H3220H3270H7703H5307H7019H1210
33Gladness and rejoicing will be taken away from the fruitful land. From the land of Moab I'll cause the wine in the wine presses to stop flowing. The workers won't tread the grapes with a loud shout. There will be no shout!H8057H1524H622H3759H776H4124H3196H7673H3342H1869H1959H1959H1959
34"From the cry of Heshbon, to Elealeh, to Jahaz they have lifted up their voice. From Zoar to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah, even the waters of Nimrim will become a desolate place.H2201H2809H500H3096H5414H6963H6820H2773H5697H7992H4325H5249H4923
35In Moab," declares the Lord, "I'll put an end to the one who offers a burnt offering on the high place and to the one who burns incense to his gods.H7673H4124H5002H3068H5927H1116H6999H430
36Therefore my heart wails for Moab like flutes and my heart wails for the men of Kir-heres like flutes. Therefore they'll lose the abundance they produced.H3820H1993H4124H2485H3820H1993H2485H582H7025H3502H6213H6
37Indeed every head will be bald and every beard cut short. There will be gashes on all the hands and sackcloth on the loins.H7218H7144H2206H1639H3027H1417H4975H8242
38On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets there will be nothing but mourning, for I'll break Moab like a vessel that no one wants," declares the Lord.H4553H1406H4124H7339H7665H4124H3627H2656H5002H3068
39"How it will be shattered! How they'll wail! How Moab will turn his back in shame! Moab will be an object of ridicule and terror to all those around him."4836H3213H2865H4124H6437H6203H954H4124H7814H4288H5439
40For this is what the Lord says: "Look, like an eagle one will fly swiftly and spread his wings against Moab.H559H3068H1675H5404H6566H3671H4124
41The towns will be captured and the strongholds seized. On that day the hearts of the warriors of Moab will be like the heart of a woman in labor.H7152H3920H4679H8610H1368H3820H4124H3117H3820H802H6887
42Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he exalted himself against the Lord.H4124H8045H5971H1431H3068
43Terror, pit, and trap will be used against you who live in Moab," declares the Lord.H6343H6354H6341H3427H4124H5002H3068
44"The one who flees from the terror will fall into a pit. And the one who comes up out of the pit will be caught in a trap. For I'll bring upon her, that is upon Moab, the time of her punishment," declares the Lord.H5127H5211H6440H6343H5307H6354H5927H6354H3920H6341H935H4124H8141H6486H5002H3068
45"The fugitives will stand without strength in the shadow of Heshbon, for fire will go out from Heshbon and a flame from the middle of Sihon. It will devour the forehead of Moab and the heads of the rebellious people.H5127H5975H6738H2809H3581H784H3318H2809H3852H996H5511H398H6285H4124H6936H7588H1121
46How terrible for you, Moab! The people of Chemosh will perish. Indeed, your sons will be taken into captivity, and your daughters as well.H188H4124H5971H3645H6H1121H3947H7628H1323H7633
47But I'll restore the fortunes of Moab in the latter days," declares the Lord. This concludes the judgment on Moab.H7725H7622H4124H319H3117H5002H3068H2008H4941H4124
