1 # Against Moab <04124> thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>, the God <0430> of Israel <03478>; Woe <01945> unto Nebo <05015>! for it is spoiled <07703> (8795): Kiriathaim <07156> is confounded <03001> (8689) and taken <03920> (8738): Misgab <04869> is confounded <03001> (8689) and dismayed <02865> (8804).
2 There shall be no more praise <08416> of Moab <04124>: in Heshbon <02809> they have devised <02803> (8804) evil <07451> against it; come <03212> (8798), and let us cut it off <03772> (8686) from being a nation <01471>. Also thou shalt be cut down <01826> (8735), O Madmen <04086>; the sword <02719> shall pursue <03212> (8799) thee <0310> .
3 A voice <06963> of crying <06818> shall be from Horonaim <02773>, spoiling <07701> and great <01419> destruction <07667>.
4 Moab <04124> is destroyed <07665> (8738); her little ones <06810> have caused a cry <02201> to be heard <08085> (8689).
5 For in the going up <04608> of Luhith <03872> continual <01065> weeping <01065> shall go up <05927> (8799) ; for in the going down <04174> of Horonaim <02773> the enemies <06862> have heard <08085> (8804) a cry <06818> of destruction <07667>.
6 Flee <05127> (8798), save <04422> (8761) your lives <05315>, and be <01961> (8799) like the heath <06176> in the wilderness <04057>.
7 For because thou hast trusted <0982> (8800) in thy works <04639> and in thy treasures <0214>, thou shalt also be taken <03920> (8735): and Chemosh <03645> shall go forth <03318> (8804) into captivity <01473> with his priests <03548> and his princes <08269> together <03162>.
8 And the spoiler <07703> (8802) shall come <0935> (8799) upon every city <05892>, and no city <05892> shall escape <04422> (8735): the valley <06010> also shall perish <06> (8804), and the plain <04334> shall be destroyed <08045> (8738), as the LORD <03068> hath spoken <0559> (8804).
9 Give <05414> (8798) wings <06731> unto Moab <04124>, that it may flee <05323> (8800) and get away <03318> (8799): for the cities <05892> thereof shall be desolate <08047>, without any to dwell <03427> (8802) therein <02004> .
10 Cursed <0779> (8803) be he that doeth <06213> (8802) the work <04399> of the LORD <03068> deceitfully <07423>, and cursed <0779> (8803) be he that keepeth back <04513> (8802) his sword <02719> from blood <01818>.
11 Moab <04124> hath been at ease <07599> (8768) from his youth <05271>, and he hath settled <08252> (8802) on his lees <08105>, and hath not been emptied <07324> (8717) from vessel <03627> to vessel <03627>, neither hath he gone <01980> (8804) into captivity <01473>: therefore his taste <02940> remained <05975> (8804) in him, and his scent <07381> is not changed <04171> (8738).
12 Therefore, behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>, that I will send <07971> (8765) unto him wanderers <06808> (8802), that shall cause him to wander <06808> (8765), and shall empty <07324> (8686) his vessels <03627>, and break <05310> (8762) their bottles <05035>.
13 And Moab <04124> shall be ashamed <0954> (8804) of Chemosh <03645>, as the house <01004> of Israel <03478> was ashamed <0954> (8804) of Bethel <01008> their confidence <04009>.
14 # How say <0559> (8799) ye, We are mighty <01368> and strong <02428> men <0582> for the war <04421>?
15 Moab <04124> is spoiled <07703> (8795), and gone up <05927> (8804) out of her cities <05892> , and his chosen <04005> young men <0970> are gone down <03381> (8804) to the slaughter <02874>, saith <05002> (8803) the King <04428>, whose name <08034> is the LORD <03068> of hosts <06635>.
16 The calamity <0343> of Moab <04124> is near <07138> to come <0935> (8800), and his affliction <07451> hasteth <04116> (8765) fast <03966>.
17 All ye that are about <05439> him, bemoan <05110> (8798) him; and all ye that know <03045> (8802) his name <08034>, say <0559> (8798), How is the strong <05797> staff <04294> broken <07665> (8738), and the beautiful <08597> rod <04731>!
18 Thou daughter <01323> that dost inhabit <03427> (8802) Dibon <01769>, come down <03381> (8798) from thy glory <03519>, and sit <03427> (8798) in thirst <06772>; for the spoiler <07703> (8802) of Moab <04124> shall come <05927> (8804) upon thee, and he shall destroy <07843> (8765) thy strong holds <04013>.
19 O inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Aroer <06177>, stand <05975> (8798) by the way <01870>, and espy <06822> (8761); ask <07592> (8798) him that fleeth <05127> (8801), and her that escapeth <04422> (8737) , and say <0559> (8798), What is done <01961> (8738)?
20 Moab <04124> is confounded <03001> (8689); for it is broken down <02865> (8804): howl <03213> (8685) and cry <02199> (8798); tell <05046> (8685) ye it in Arnon <0769>, that Moab <04124> is spoiled <07703> (8795),
21 And judgment <04941> is come <0935> (8804) upon the plain <04334> country <0776>; upon Holon <02473> , and upon Jahazah <03096>, and upon Mephaath <04158>,
22 And upon Dibon <01769>, and upon Nebo <05015>, and upon Bethdiblathaim <01015>,
23 And upon Kiriathaim <07156>, and upon Bethgamul <01014>, and upon Bethmeon <01010>,
24 And upon Kerioth <07152>, and upon Bozrah <01224>, and upon all the cities <05892> of the land <0776> of Moab <04124> , far <07350> or near <07138>.
25 The horn <07161> of Moab <04124> is cut off <01438> (8738), and his arm <02220> is broken <07665> (8738), saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
26 Make ye him drunken <07937> (8685): for he magnified <01431> (8689) himself against the LORD <03068> : Moab <04124> also shall wallow <05606> (8804) in his vomit <06892>, and he also shall be in derision <07814>.
27 For was not Israel <03478> a derision <07814> unto thee? was he found <04672> (8738) among thieves <01590>? for since <01767> thou spakest <01697> of him, thou skippedst <05110> (8709) for joy.
28 O ye that dwell <03427> (8802) in Moab <04124>, leave <05800> (8798) the cities <05892>, and dwell <07931> (8798) in the rock <05553>, and be like the dove <03123> that maketh her nest <07077> (8762) in the sides <05676> of the hole's <06354> mouth <06310>.
29 We have heard <08085> (8804) the pride <01347> of Moab <04124>, (he is exceeding <03966> proud <01343> ) his loftiness <01363>, and his arrogancy <01346>, and his pride <01347>, and the haughtiness <07312> of his heart <03820>.
30 I know <03045> (8804) his wrath <05678>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>; but it shall not be so; his lies <0907> shall not so effect <06213> (8804) it.
31 Therefore will I howl <03213> (8686) for Moab <04124>, and I will cry out <02199> (8799) for all Moab <04124>; mine heart shall mourn <01897> (8799) for the men <0582> of Kirheres <07025>.
32 O vine <01612> of Sibmah <07643>, I will weep <01058> (8799) for thee with the weeping <01065> of Jazer <03270>: thy plants <05189> are gone over <05674> (8804) the sea <03220>, they reach <05060> (8804) even to the sea <03220> of Jazer <03270>: the spoiler <07703> (8802) is fallen <05307> (8804) upon thy summer fruits <07019> and upon thy vintage <01210>.
33 And joy <08057> and gladness <01524> is taken <0622> (8738) from the plentiful field <03759>, and from the land <0776> of Moab <04124>; and I have caused wine <03196> to fail <07673> (8689) from the winepresses <03342>: none shall tread <01869> (8799) with shouting <01959>; their shouting <01959> shall be no shouting <01959>.
34 From the cry <02201> of Heshbon <02809> even unto Elealeh <0500>, and even unto Jahaz <03096>, have they uttered <05414> (8804) their voice <06963>, from Zoar <06820> even unto Horonaim <02773>, as an heifer <05697> of three years old <07992>: for the waters <04325> also of Nimrim <05249> shall be desolate <04923>.
35 Moreover I will cause to cease <07673> (8689) in Moab <04124>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068> , him that offereth <05927> (8688) in the high places <01116>, and him that burneth incense <06999> (8688) to his gods <0430> .
36 Therefore mine heart <03820> shall sound <01993> (8799) for Moab <04124> like pipes <02485>, and mine heart <03820> shall sound <01993> (8799) like pipes <02485> for the men <0582> of Kirheres <07025>: because the riches <03502> that he hath gotten <06213> (8804) are perished <06> (8804).
37 For every head <07218> shall be bald <07144>, and every beard <02206> clipped <01639> (8803): upon all the hands <03027> shall be cuttings <01417>, and upon the loins <04975> sackcloth <08242>.
38 There shall be lamentation <04553> generally upon all the housetops <01406> of Moab <04124>, and in the streets <07339> thereof: for I have broken <07665> (8804) Moab <04124> like a vessel <03627> wherein is no pleasure <02656>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
39 They shall howl <03213> (8685), saying, How is it broken down <02865> (8804)! how hath Moab <04124> turned <06437> (8689) the back <06203> with shame <0954> (8804)! so shall Moab <04124> be a derision <07814> and a dismaying <04288> to all them about <05439> him.
40 For thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>; Behold, he shall fly <01675> (8799) as an eagle <05404> , and shall spread <06566> (8804) his wings <03671> over Moab <04124>.
41 Kerioth <07152> is taken <03920> (8738), and the strong holds <04679> are surprised <08610> (8738) , and the mighty men's <01368> hearts <03820> in Moab <04124> at that day <03117> shall be as the heart <03820> of a woman <0802> in her pangs <06887> (8688).
42 And Moab <04124> shall be destroyed <08045> (8738) from being a people <05971>, because he hath magnified <01431> (8689) himself against the LORD <03068>.
43 Fear <06343>, and the pit <06354>, and the snare <06341>, shall be upon thee, O inhabitant <03427> (8802) of Moab <04124>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
44 He that fleeth <05127> (8801) (8675) <05211> from <06440> the fear <06343> shall fall <05307> (8799) into the pit <06354>; and he that getteth up <05927> (8802) out of the pit <06354> shall be taken <03920> (8735) in the snare <06341>: for I will bring <0935> (8686) upon it, even upon Moab <04124>, the year <08141> of their visitation <06486>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>.
45 They that fled <05127> (8801) stood <05975> (8804) under the shadow <06738> of Heshbon <02809> because of the force <03581>: but a fire <0784> shall come forth <03318> (8804) out of Heshbon <02809>, and a flame <03852> from the midst <0996> of Sihon <05511>, and shall devour <0398> (8799) the corner <06285> of Moab <04124>, and the crown of the head <06936> of the tumultuous <07588> ones <01121>.
46 Woe <0188> be unto thee, O Moab <04124>! the people <05971> of Chemosh <03645> perisheth <06> (8804) : for thy sons <01121> are taken <03947> (8795) captives <07628>, and thy daughters <01323> captives <07633>.
47 Yet will I bring again <07725> (8804) the captivity <07622> of Moab <04124> in the latter <0319> days <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the LORD <03068>. Thus far <02008> is the judgment <04941> of Moab <04124>.
