48Concerning Moab. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: "Woe to Nebo, for it is laid waste! Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken; the fortress is put to shame and broken down;H4124H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1945H5015H7703H7156H3001H3920H4869H3001H2865 2the renown of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they planned disaster against her: 'Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!' You also, O Madmen, shall be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue you.H8416H4124H2809H2803H7451H3212H3772H1471H1826H4086H2719H3212H310 3"A voice! A cry from Horonaim, 'Desolation and great destruction!'H6963H6818H2773H7701H1419H7667 4Moab is destroyed; her little ones have made a cry.H4124H7665H6810H2201H8085 5For at the ascent of Luhith they go up weeping; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distressed cry of destruction.H4608H3872H1065H1065H5927H4174H2773H6862H8085H6818H7667 6Flee! Save yourselves! You will be like a juniper in the desert!H5127H4422H5315H1961H6176H4057 7For, because you trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken; and Chemosh shall go into exile with his priests and his officials.H982H4639H214H3920H3645H3318H1473H3548H8269H3162 8The destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.H7703H935H5892H5892H4422H6010H6H4334H8045H3068H559 9"Give wings to Moab, for she would fly away; her cities shall become a desolation, with no inhabitant in them.H5414H6731H4124H5323H3318H5892H8047H3427H2004 10"Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed.H779H6213H4399H3068H7423H779H4513H2719H1818 11"Moab has been at ease from his youth and has settled on his dregs; he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into exile; so his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.H4124H7599H5271H8252H8105H7324H3627H3627H1980H1473H2940H5975H7381H4171 12"Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I shall send to him pourers who will pour him, and empty his vessels and break his jars in pieces.H3117H935H5002H3068H7971H6808H6808H7324H3627H5310H5035 13Then Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.H4124H954H3645H1004H3478H954H1008H4009 14"How do you say, 'We are heroes and mighty men of war'?H559H1368H2428H582H4421 15The destroyer of Moab and his cities has come up, and the choicest of his young men have gone down to slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.H4124H7703H5927H5892H4005H970H3381H2874H5002H4428H8034H3068H6635 16The calamity of Moab is near at hand, and his affliction hastens swiftly.H343H4124H7138H935H7451H4116H3966 17Grieve for him, all you who are around him, and all who know his name; say, 'How the mighty scepter is broken, the glorious staff.'H5439H5110H3045H8034H559H5797H4294H7665H8597H4731 18"Come down from your glory, and sit on the parched ground, O inhabitant of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you; he has destroyed your strongholds.H1323H3427H1769H3381H3519H3427H6772H7703H4124H5927H7843H4013 19Stand by the way and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer! Ask him who flees and her who escapes; say, 'What has happened?'H3427H6177H5975H1870H6822H7592H5127H4422H559H1961 20Moab is put to shame, for it is broken; wail and cry! Tell it beside the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.H4124H3001H2865H3213H2199H5046H769H4124H7703 21"Judgment has come upon the tableland, upon Holon, and Jahzah, and Mephaath,H4941H935H4334H776H2473H3096H4158 22and Dibon, and Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,H1769H5015H1015 23and Kiriathaim, and Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,H7156H1014H1010 24and Kerioth, and Bozrah, and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.H7152H1224H5892H776H4124H7350H7138 25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, declares the LORD.H7161H4124H1438H2220H7665H5002H3068 26"Make him drunk, because he magnified himself against the LORD, so that Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he too shall be held in derision.H7937H1431H3068H4124H5606H6892H7814 27Was not Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves, that whenever you spoke of him you wagged your head?H3478H7814H4672H1590H1767H1697H5110 28"Leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, O inhabitants of Moab! Be like the dove that nests in the sides of the mouth of a gorge.H3427H4124H5800H5892H7931H5553H3123H7077H5676H6354H6310 29We have heard of the pride of Moab— he is very proud— of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.H8085H1347H4124H3966H1343H1363H1346H1347H7312H3820 30I know his insolence, declares the LORD; his boasts are false, his deeds are false.H3045H5678H5002H3068H907H6213 31Therefore I wail for Moab; I cry out for all Moab; for the men of Kir-hareseth I mourn.H3213H4124H2199H4124H1897H582H7025 32More than for Jazer I weep for you, O vine of Sibmah! Your branches passed over the sea, reached to the Sea of Jazer; on your summer fruits and your grapes the destroyer has fallen.H1612H7643H1058H1065H3270H5189H5674H3220H5060H3220H3270H7703H5307H7019H1210 33Gladness and joy have been taken away from the fruitful land of Moab; I have made the wine cease from the winepresses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; the shouting is not the shout of joy.H8057H1524H622H3759H776H4124H3196H7673H3342H1869H1959H1959H1959 34"From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, as far as Jahaz they utter their voice, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also have become desolate.H2201H2809H500H3096H5414H6963H6820H2773H5697H7992H4325H5249H4923 35And I will bring to an end in Moab, declares the LORD, him who offers sacrifice in the high place and makes offerings to his god.H7673H4124H5002H3068H5927H1116H6999H430 36Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the men of Kir-hareseth. Therefore the riches they gained have perished.H3820H1993H4124H2485H3820H1993H2485H582H7025H3502H6213H6 37"For every head is shaved and every beard cut off. On all the hands are gashes, and around the waist is sackcloth.H7218H7144H2206H1639H3027H1417H4975H8242 38On all the housetops of Moab and in the squares there is nothing but lamentation, for I have broken Moab like a vessel for which no one cares, declares the LORD.H4553H1406H4124H7339H7665H4124H3627H2656H5002H3068 39How it is broken! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! So Moab has become a derision and a horror to all that are around him."H3213H2865H4124H6437H6203H954H4124H7814H4288H5439 40For thus says the LORD: "Behold, one shall fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against Moab;H559H3068H1675H5404H6566H3671H4124 41the cities shall be taken and the strongholds seized. The heart of the warriors of Moab shall be in that day like the heart of a woman in her birth pains;H7152H3920H4679H8610H1368H3820H4124H3117H3820H802H6887 42Moab shall be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he magnified himself against the LORD.H4124H8045H5971H1431H3068 43Terror, pit, and snare are before you, O inhabitant of Moab! declares the LORD.H6343H6354H6341H3427H4124H5002H3068 44He who flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he who climbs out of the pit shall be caught in the snare. For I will bring these things upon Moab, the year of their punishment, declares the LORD.H5127H5211H6440H6343H5307H6354H5927H6354H3920H6341H935H4124H8141H6486H5002H3068 45"In the shadow of Heshbon fugitives stop without strength, for fire came out from Heshbon, flame from the house of Sihon; it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, the crown of the sons of tumult.H5127H5975H6738H2809H3581H784H3318H2809H3852H996H5511H398H6285H4124H6936H7588H1121 46Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone, for your sons have been taken captive, and your daughters into captivity.H188H4124H5971H3645H6H1121H3947H7628H1323H7633 47Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the latter days, declares the LORD." Thus far is the judgment on Moab.H7725H7622H4124H319H3117H5002H3068H2008H4941H4124
