48CONCERNING MOAB: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to [the city of] Nebo, for it is laid waste! Kiriathaim is put to shame and taken; Misgab [the high fortress] is put to shame, broken down, {and} crushed.H4124H559H3068H6635H430H3478H1945H5015H7703H7156H3001H3920H4869H3001H2865 2The glory of Moab is no more; in Heshbon [a border town between Reuben and Gad, east of the Jordan River] they planned evil against her, saying, Come, let us cut her off from being a nation. You also, O [town of] Madmen, shall be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue you.H8416H4124H2809H2803H7451H3212H3772H1471H1826H4086H2719H3212H310 3The sound of a cry from Horonaim, [a cry of] desolation and great destruction!H6963H6818H2773H7701H1419H7667 4Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard [as far as Zoar].H4124H7665H6810H2201H8085 5For the ascent of Luhith will be climbed [by successive bands of fugitives] with continual weeping; for on the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.H4608H3872H1065H1065H5927H4174H2773H6862H8085H6818H7667 6Flee! Save your lives! But they shall be like a destitute {and} forsaken person in the wilderness.H5127H4422H5315H1961H6176H4057 7For because you have trusted in your works [your bungling idol images] and in your treasures [instead of in God], you shall also be taken. And Chemosh [your god] shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.H982H4639H214H3920H3645H3318H1473H3548H8269H3162 8And the destroyer shall come upon every city; no city shall escape. The [Jordan] valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be devastated, as the Lord has said.H7703H935H5892H5892H4422H6010H6H4334H8045H3068H559 9Give wings to Moab, for [by that means only] she will flee and get away; her cities will be desolate, without any to dwell in them.H5414H6731H4124H5323H3318H5892H8047H3427H2004 10Cursed be he who does the work of the Lord negligently [with slackness, deceitfully]; and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood [in executing judgment pronounced by the Lord].H779H6213H4399H3068H7423H779H4513H2719H1818 11Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees [like wine] and has not been drawn off from one vessel to another, neither has he gone into exile. Therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent has not changed.H4124H7599H5271H8252H8105H7324H3627H3627H1980H1473H2940H5975H7381H4171 12Therefore behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I shall send to [Moab] tilters who shall tilt him up and shall empty his vessels and break his bottles (earthenware) in pieces.H3117H935H5002H3068H7971H6808H6808H7324H3627H5310H5035 13And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh [his god], as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.H4124H954H3645H1004H3478H954H1008H4009 14How can you say, We are heroes and mighty men in the war?H559H1368H2428H582H4421 15Moab has been made desolate, and his cities have gone up [in smoke and flame]; and his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter, says the King, Whose name is the Lord of hosts.H4124H7703H5927H5892H4005H970H3381H2874H5002H4428H8034H3068H6635 16The destruction of Moab is coming near, and his calamity hastens swiftly.H343H4124H7138H935H7451H4116H3966 17Bemoan him, all you [nations] who are around him, and all you [nations more remote] who know his name; say, How broken is the mighty scepter [of national power] and the splendid rod [of glory]!H5439H5110H3045H8034H559H5797H4294H7665H8597H4731 18Come down from your glory, you inhabitant of the Daughter of Dibon, and sit on the ground among the thirsty! For the destroyer of Moab is advancing against you; he will destroy your strongholds.H1323H3427H1769H3381H3519H3427H6772H7703H4124H5927H7843H4013 19O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch! Ask him who flees and her who escapes, What has happened?H3427H6177H5975H1870H6822H7592H5127H4422H559H1961 20Moab is put to shame, for she is broken down. Wail and cry out! Tell by [the banks of] the Arnon that Moab is laid waste (destroyed).H4124H3001H2865H3213H2199H5046H769H4124H7703 21Judgment has come upon the land of the plain--upon Holon and Jahzah and Mephaath,H4941H935H4334H776H2473H3096H4158 22And upon Dibon and Nebo and Beth-diblathaim,H1769H5015H1015 23And upon Kiriathaim and Beth-gamul and Beth-meon,H7156H1014H1010 24And upon Kerioth and Bozrah--and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.H7152H1224H5892H776H4124H7350H7138 25The horn (strength) of Moab is cut off, and his arm [of authority] is shattered, says the Lord.H7161H4124H1438H2220H7665H5002H3068 26Make him drunk, for he has magnified himself against the Lord [by resisting Reuben's occupation of the land the Lord had assigned him]. Moab also shall splash in his vomit, and he too shall be held in derision.H7937H1431H3068H4124H5606H6892H7814 27For was not Israel [an object of] derision to you? Was he found among thieves--since whenever you speak of him you wag your head [in scorn]?H3478H7814H4672H1590H1767H1697H5110 28O you inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities and dwell among the rocks, and be like the dove that makes her nest in the walls of the yawning ravine.H3427H4124H5800H5892H7931H5553H3123H7077H5676H6354H6310 29We have heard of the [giddy] pride of Moab, the extremely proud one--his loftiness, his arrogance, his conceit, and the haughtiness of his heart.H8085H1347H4124H3966H1343H1363H1346H1347H7312H3820 30I know his insolent wrath, says the Lord, and the nothingness of his boastings {and} his deeds; they are false {and} have accomplished nothing.H3045H5678H5002H3068H907H6213 31Therefore I will wail over Moab, and I will cry out over the whole of Moab. Over the men of Kir-heres (Kir-hareseth) there will be sighing {and} mourning.H3213H4124H2199H4124H1897H582H7025 32O vines of Sibmah, I weep for you more than the weeping of Jazer [over its ruins and wasted vineyards]. Your tendrils [of influence] have gone over the sea, reaching even to Jazer. The destroyer has fallen upon your summer fruit harvest and your [season's] crop of grapes.H1612H7643H1058H1065H3270H5189H5674H3220H5060H3220H3270H7703H5307H7019H1210 33Joy and gladness are taken away from the fruitful orchards {and} fields and from the land of Moab. And I have made the juice [of the grape] to fail from what is pressed out in the vats; no one treads [the grapes] with shouting. Their shouting is no shouting [of joy, but is a battle cry].H8057H1524H622H3759H776H4124H3196H7673H3342H1869H1959H1959H1959 34From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah [like a three-year-old heifer], for even the waters of Nimrim have become desolations.H2201H2809H500H3096H5414H6963H6820H2773H5697H7992H4325H5249H4923 35Moreover, I will cause to cease in Moab, says the Lord, the one who ascends {and} offers in the high place and the one who burns incense to his gods.H7673H4124H5002H3068H5927H1116H6999H430 36Therefore My heart moans {and} sighs for Moab like flutes, and My heart moans {and} sighs like flutes for the men of Kir-heres (Kir-hareseth); therefore [the remnant of] the abundant riches they gained has perished.H3820H1993H4124H2485H3820H1993H2485H582H7025H3502H6213H6 37For every head is shaven bald and every beard cut off: upon all the hands are cuts (slashes) and upon the loins is sackcloth [all to express mourning].H7218H7144H2206H1639H3027H1417H4975H8242 38On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation everywhere, for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which there is no pleasure, says the Lord.H4553H1406H4124H7339H7665H4124H3627H2656H5002H3068 39How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! So Moab has become [an object of] a derision and a [horrifying] terror to all who are round about him.H3213H2865H4124H6437H6203H954H4124H7814H4288H5439 40For thus says the Lord: Behold, he [Babylon] shall fly swiftly like an eagle and shall spread out his wings against Moab.H559H3068H1675H5404H6566H3671H4124 41Kerioth [and the cities] shall be taken and the strongholds seized; and the hearts of the mighty warriors of Moab in that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs [in childbirth].H7152H3920H4679H8610H1368H3820H4124H3117H3820H802H6887 42And Moab shall be destroyed from being a nation, because he has magnified himself against the Lord.H4124H8045H5971H1431H3068 43Terror and pit and snare are before you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the Lord.H6343H6354H6341H3427H4124H5002H3068 44He who flees from the terror will fall into the pit, and he who gets up out of the pit will be taken {and} caught in the trap {or} snare; for I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation (their inspection and infliction of punishment), says the Lord.H5127H5211H6440H6343H5307H6354H5927H6354H3920H6341H935H4124H8141H6486H5002H3068 45In the shadow of Heshbon the fugitives stand powerless (stopped in their tracks, helpless and without strength), for a fire has gone forth from Heshbon, a flame from the midst of Sihon; it has destroyed the corner of Moab and the crowns of the heads of the ones in tumult [the proud Moabites].H5127H5975H6738H2809H3581H784H3318H2809H3852H996H5511H398H6285H4124H6936H7588H1121 46Woe to you, O Moab! The people of [the god] Chemosh {are} undone; for your sons are taken away captive and your daughters into captivity.H188H4124H5971H3645H6H1121H3947H7628H1323H7633 47Yet will I reverse the captivity {and} restore the fortunes of Moab in the latter days, says the Lord. Thus far is the judgment on Moab.H7725H7622H4124H319H3117H5002H3068H2008H4941H4124
