THE WORD AGAINST THE LAND OF MOAB .
By night the land of Moab shall be destroyed ;
for by night the wall of the land of Moab shall be destroyed .
*
Grieve for yourselves ;
for even Debon ,
where your altar is ,
shall be destroyed :
thither shall ye go up to weep ,
over Nabau of the land of Moab :
howl ye :
baldness shall be on every head ,
and all arms shall be (

Gr .
cut to pieces (:

wounded .
*
Gird yourselves with sackcloth in her streets :
and lament upon her roofs ,
and in her streets ,
and in her ways ;
howl all of you with weeping .
*
For Esebon and Eleale have cried :
their voice was heard to Jassa :
therefore the loins of the region of Moab cry aloud ;
her soul shall know .
*
The heart of the region of Moab cries within her to Segor ;
for it is as a heifer of three years old :
and on the ascent of Luith they shall go up to thee weeping by the way of Aroniim :
she cries ,
Destruction ,
and trembling .
*
The water of Nemerim shall be desolate ,
and the grass thereof shall fail :
for there shall be no green grass .
*
Shall Moab even thus be delivered ?
for I will bring the Arabians upon the valley ,
and they shall take it .
*
For the cry has reached the border of the region of Moab ,
even of Agalim ;
and her howling has gone as far as the well of Æ
lim .
*
And the water of Dimon shall be filled with blood :
for I will bring Arabians upon Dimon ,
and I will take away the seed of Moab ,
and Ariel ,
and the remnant of Adama .
*
I will send as it were reptiles on the land :
is not the mount of the daughter of Sion a desolate rock ?
*
For thou shalt be as a young bird taken away from a bird that has flown :
even thou shalt be so ,
daughter of Moab :
and then do thou ,
O Arnon ,
*
take farther counsel ,
and continually make thou a shelter from grief :
they flee in darkness at mid-day ;
they are amazed ;
be not thou led captive .
*
The fugitives of Moab shall sojourn with thee ;
they shall be to you a shelter from the face of the pursuer :
for thine alliance has been taken away ,
and the oppressing ruler has perished from off the earth .
*
And a throne shall be established with mercy ;
and one shall sit upon it with truth in the tabernacle of David ,
judging ,
and earnestly seeking judgements ,
and hasting righteousness .
*
We have heard of the pride of Moab ;
he is very proud .
I have cut off his pride :
thy prophecy shall not be thus ,
no not thus .
*
Moab shall howl ;
for all shall howl in the land of Moab :
but thou shalt care for them that dwell in Seth ,
and thou shalt not be ashamed .
*
The plains of Esebon shall mourn ,
the vine of Sebama :
swallowing up the nations ,
trample ye her vines ,
even to Jazer :
ye shall not come together ;
wander ye in the desert :
they that were sent are deserted ,
for they have gone over to the sea .
*
Therefore will I weep as with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sebama ;
Esebon and Eleale have cast down thy trees ;
for I will trample on thy harvest and on thy vintages ,
and all thy plants shall fall .
*
And gladness and rejoicing shall be taken away from the vineyards ;
and they shall not at all tread wine into the vats ;
for the vintage has ceased .
*
Therefore my belly shall sound as a harp for Moab ,
and (
note :)
Compare the Hebrew (:
note )
thou hast repaired my inward parts as a wall .
*
And it shall be to thy shame , (
for Moab is wearied at the altars ,)
that he shall go in to the idols thereof to pray ,
but they shall not be at all able to deliver him .
*
This is the word which the Lord spoke against Moab ,
when he spoke .
*
And now I say ,
in three years ,
of the years of an hireling ,
the glory of Moab shall be dishonoured with all his great wealth ;
and he shall be left few in number ,
and not honoured .
*
THE WORD AGAINST DAMASCUS .
Behold ,
Damascus shall be taken away from among cities ,
and shall become a ruin ;
