* "
Moab has been at ease from his youth ;
He has settled on his dregs ,
And has not been emptied from vessel to vessel ,
Nor has he gone into captivity .
Therefore his taste remained in him ,
And his scent has not changed .
* "
Therefore behold ,
the days are coming ,"
says the LORD , "
That I shall send him wine-workers Who will tip him over And empty his vessels And break the bottles .
*
Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh ,
As the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel ,
their confidence .
* "
How can you say , "
We are mighty And strong men for the war '?
*
Moab is plundered and gone up from her cities ;
Her chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter ,"
says the King ,
Whose name is the LORD of hosts .
* "
The calamity of Moab is near at hand ,
And his affliction comes quickly .
*
Bemoan him ,
all you who are around him ;
And all you who know his name ,
Say , "
How the strong staff is broken ,
The beautiful rod !'
* "
O daughter inhabiting Dibon ,
Come down from your glory ,
And sit in thirst ;
For the plunderer of Moab has come against you ,
He has destroyed your strongholds .
*
O inhabitant of Aroer ,
Stand by the way and watch ;
Ask him who flees And her who escapes ;
Say , "
What has happened ?'
*
Moab is shamed ,
for he is broken down .
Wail and cry !
Tell it in Arnon ,
that Moab is plundered .
* "
And judgment has come on the plain country :
On Holon and Jahzah and Mephaath ,
*
On Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim ,
*
On Kirjathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon ,
*
On Kerioth and Bozrah ,
On all the cities of the land of Moab ,
Far or near .
*
The horn of Moab is cut off ,
And his arm is broken ,"
says the LORD .
* "
Make him drunk ,
Because he exalted himself against the LORD .
Moab shall wallow in his vomit ,
And he shall also be in derision .
*
For was not Israel a derision to you ?
Was he found among thieves ?
For whenever you speak of him ,
You shake your head in scorn .
