Concerning 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.
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.
3
"The sound
of an outcry
from Horonaim,
'Devastation
and great
destruction!'
4
"Moab
is broken,
Her little ones
have sounded
out a cry
of distress.
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.
6
"Flee,
save
your lives,
That you may be like a juniper
in the wilderness.
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.
8
"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.
9
"Give
wings
to Moab,
For she will flee away;
And her cities
will become
a desolation,
Without
inhabitants
in them.
10
"Cursed
be the one who does
the LORD'S
work
negligently,
And cursed
be the one who restrains
his sword
from blood.
11
"Moab
has been at ease
since
his youth;
He has also been undisturbed,
like wine on its dregs,
And he has not been emptied
from vessel
to vessel,
Nor
has he gone
into exile.
Therefore
he retains
his flavor,
And his aroma
has not changed.
12
"Therefore
behold,
the days
are coming,"
declares
the LORD,
"when I will send
to him those who tip
vessels, and they will tip him over,
and they will empty
his vessels
and shatter
his jars.
13
"And Moab
will be ashamed
of Chemosh,
as the house
of Israel
was ashamed
of Bethel,
their confidence.
14
"How
can you say,
'
We are mighty warriors,
And men
valiant
for battle '?
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.
16
"The disaster
of Moab
will soon
come,
And his calamity
has swiftly
hastened.
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!'
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.
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?'
20
"Moab
has been put to shame,
for it has been shattered.
Wail
and cry
out; Declare
by the Arnon
That Moab
has been destroyed.
21
"Judgment
has also come
upon the plain,
upon Holon,
Jahzah
and against
Mephaath,
22
against
Dibon,
Nebo
and Beth-diblathaim,
23
against
Kiriathaim,
Beth-gamul
and Beth-meon,
24
against
Kerioth,
Bozrah
and all
the cities
of the land
of Moab,
far
and near.
25
"The horn
of Moab
has been cut off
and his arm
broken,"
declares
the LORD.
26
"Make him drunk,
for he has become arrogant
toward
the LORD;
so Moab
will wallow
in his vomit,
and he also
will become
a laughingstock.
27
"Now was not Israel
a laughingstock
to you? Or
was he caught
among thieves?
For each
time
you speak
about him you shake
your head in scorn.
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.
29
"We have heard
of the pride
of Moab--
he is very
proud--
Of his haughtiness,
his pride,
his arrogance
and his self-exaltation.
30
"I know
his fury,"
declares
the LORD,
"But it is futile;
His idle boasts
have accomplished
nothing.
31
"Therefore
I will wail
for
Moab
,
Even for all
Moab
will I cry
out; I will moan
for the men
of Kir-heres.
32
"More than
the weeping
for Jazer
I will 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.
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.
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.
35
"I will 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.
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.
37
"For every
head
is bald
and every
beard
cut short;
there are gashes
on all
the hands
and sackcloth
on the loins.
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.
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."
40
For thus
says
the LORD:
"Behold,
one will fly swiftly
like an eagle
And spread
out his wings
against
Moab.
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.
42
"Moab
will be destroyed
from being a people
Because
he has become arrogant
toward
the LORD.
43
"Terror,
pit
and snare
are coming upon you, O inhabitant
of Moab,"
declares
the LORD.
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.
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.
46
"Woe
to you, Moab!
The people
of Chemosh
have perished;
For your sons
have been taken
away captive
And your daughters
into captivity.
47
"Yet I will restore
the fortunes
of Moab
In the latter
days,"
declares
the LORD.
Thus
far
the judgment
on Moab.
