*
Against Moab thus saith the LORD of hosts ,
the God of Israel Yisra #
el #;
Woe unto Nebo !
for it is spoiled :
Kiriathaim is confounded and taken :
Misgab is confounded and dismayed .
*
There shall be no more praise of Moab Mow #
ab #:
in Heshbon they have devised evil against it ;
come ,
and let us cut it off from being a nation .
Also thou shalt be cut down ,
O Madmen ;
the sword shall pursue thee .
*
A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim ,
spoiling and great destruction .
*
Moab is destroyed ;
her little ones have caused a cry to be heard .
*
For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up ;
for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction .
*
Flee ,
save your lives ,
and be like the heath #
arow #
er #
in the wilderness .
*
For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures ,
thou shalt also be taken :
and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together .
*
And the spoiler shall come upon every city ,
and no city shall escape :
the valley also shall perish ,
and the plain shall be destroyed ,
as the LORD hath spoken .
*
Give wings unto Moab Mow #
ab #,
that it may flee and get away :
for the cities thereof shall be desolate ,
without any to dwell therein .
*
Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully ,
and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood .
*
Moab hath been at ease from his youth na #
uwr #,
and he hath settled on his lees ,
and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel ,
neither hath he gone into captivity :
therefore his taste remained in him ,
and his scent is not changed .
*
Therefore ,
behold ,
the days come ,
saith the LORD ,
that I will send unto him wanderers ,
that shall cause him to wander ,
and shall empty his vessels ,
and break their bottles .
*
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh ,
as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel Beyth -#
El #
their confidence .
*
How say ye ,
We are mighty and strong men for the war ?
*
Moab is spoiled ,
and gone up out of her cities ,
and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter ,
saith the King ,
whose name is the LORD of hosts .
*
The calamity of Moab is near to come ,
and his affliction hasteth fast m @#
od #.
*
All ye that are about him ,
bemoan him ;
and all ye that know his name ,
say ,
How is the strong staff broken ,
and the beautiful rod !
*
Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon ,
come down from thy glory ,
and sit in thirst ;
for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee ,
and he shall destroy thy strong holds .
*
O inhabitant of Aroer #
Arow #
er #,
stand by the way ,
and espy ;
ask him that fleeth ,
and her that escapeth ,
and say ,
What is done ?
*
Moab is confounded ;
for it is broken down :
howl and cry ;
tell ye it in Arnon ,
that Moab is spoiled ,
*
And judgment is come upon the plain country ;
upon Holon ,
and upon Jahazah ,
and upon Mephaath Mowpha #

And upon Dibon ,
and upon Nebo ,
and upon Bethdiblathaim Beyth ,

And upon Kiriathaim ,
and upon Bethgamul Beyth ,
