Concerning Moab :
`Thus
said
Jehovah
of Hosts, God of Israel: Wo
unto
Nebo, for it is
spoiled,
Put
to
shame,
captured
hath
been
Kiriathaim ,
Put
to
shame
hath
been
the high
tower,
Yea,
it
hath
been
broken
down
.
Concerning Moab ,
this
is
what
the
LORD
of Hosts, the
God of Israel ,
says
: “Woe
to
Nebo, for it will
be
devastated.
Kiriathaim will
be
captured
and
disgraced;
the fortress
will
be
shattered
and
dismantled
.
There is no more
praise of
Moab ,
In Heshbon they devised
against
it
evil: Come, and
we
cut it
off from `being'
a
nation,
Also
, O Madmen, thou
art
cut
off,
After
thee
goeth
a
sword.
There is no longer
praise for
Moab ;
in Heshbon they devise
evil against
her
: ‘
Come, let
us
cut her
off from nationhood.’
You
too
, O people
of
Madmen, will
be
silenced;
the
sword will
pursue
you
.
A voice of
a
cry
`is'
from Horonaim ,
Spoiling
and great destruction .
A voice cries
out
from Horonaim :
‘Devastation
and great destruction !’
Destroyed
hath
been
Moab ,
Caused
a
cry
to
be heard
have
her little ones.
Moab will
be shattered;
her little ones will
cry
out
.
For the ascent of
Luhith with
weeping,
Go up
doth
weeping
, For
in
the descent of
Horonaim Adversaries
a
cry
of desolation
have
heard.
For on
the ascent to
Luhith they
weep
bitterly
as
they
go, and
on
the descent to
Horonaim cries
of distress
resound
over
the
destruction:
Flee ye,
deliver
yourselves,
Ye
are
as
a naked
thing
in a
wilderness
.
‘
Flee !
Run
for
your
lives!
Become
like
a juniper
in the
desert
. ’
For,
because of
thy
trusting
in thy
works ,
And in
thy
treasures, even
thou
art
captured, And gone
out
hath
Chemosh in
a
removal,
His priests and his
heads
together
.
Because you
trust
in your
works and treasures, you
too
will
be
captured, and Chemosh will
go
into
exile
with
his priests and officials
.
And
come
in
doth
a
spoiler
unto
every city, And no
city
doth
escape ,
And
perished
hath
the valley, And destroyed
been
the plain, as Jehovah
said.
The
destroyer
will
move
against
every city, and not
one
town
will
escape .
The valley will
also
be
ruined
, and the high
plain will
be
destroyed
, as the
LORD
has
said.
Give
wings
to
Moab, for she utterly
goeth
out,
And
her cities are
for
a
desolation
, Without
an
inhabitant
in them.
Put
salt
on
Moab, for she will
be
laid
waste;
her cities will
become
desolate
, with
no
one
to
dwell
in them.
Cursed `
is '
he
who is doing the work of Jehovah
slothfully
, And cursed `
is '
he Who is
withholding
his sword from blood
.
Cursed is the
one
who is remiss
in
doing the work of the
LORD
, and cursed is he who withholds
his sword from bloodshed
.
Secure
is
Moab from his
youth, And
at
rest
`is'
he
for
his
preserved
things,
And
he hath
not been emptied
out
from vessel unto
vessel ,
And
into
captivity
he
hath
not
gone ,
Therefore
hath
his taste
remained in
him
, And his fragrance
hath
not
been
changed
.
Moab has
been
at
ease
from youth, settled
like
wine
on
its
dregs;
he has
not been poured
from vessel to
vessel or
gone into
exile.
So
his flavor
has
remained the
same
, and his aroma
is
unchanged
.
Therefore ,
lo
, days are coming, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, And
I have
sent
to him wanderers, And
they
have
caused
him to
wander,
And
his
vessels
they empty out,
And his bottles
they
dash
in
pieces
.
Therefore behold
, the
days are coming, declares
the
LORD
, when
I will
send
to him wanderers, who
will
pour
him out.
They will
empty his
vessels
and shatter
his jars
.
And
ashamed
hath
been
Moab because
of Chemosh, As the house of Israel have
been
ashamed Because
of
Beth-El
their
confidence
.
Then
Moab will
be
ashamed
of Chemosh, just
as the house of Israel was
ashamed when
they
trusted
in
Bethel
.
How do
ye
say, We `
are '
mighty
, And
men of
strength
for battle?
How can
you
say, ‘
We are warriors
, mighty
men ready
for battle ’
?
Spoiled
is
Moab ,
and
her
cities
hath
one
gone
up,
And the choice
of its young men Have gone down to
slaughter, An
affirmation
of
the King, Jehovah
of Hosts `is'
His
name
.
Moab has
been
destroyed
and its
towns
have
been
invaded;
the best
of its young men have gone down in
the
slaughter, declares
the King, whose
name
is
the
LORD
of Hosts.
Near
is
the
calamity of
Moab
to
come
, And his affliction hath
hasted
exceedingly
.
Moab’s
calamity is
at
hand
, and his affliction is
rushing
swiftly
.
Bemoan
for him, all ye
round
about
him, And
all
knowing
his name ,
say
ye:
How hath
it
been
broken,
the staff
of
strength,
The rod
of
beauty.
Mourn
for him, all you
who
surround
him, everyone
who
knows
his name ;
tell
how the mighty
scepter
is
shattered—
the glorious
staff!
Come down from honour,
sit in
thirst
, O inhabitant,
daughter of
Dibon, For a
spoiler
of Moab hath
come up
to
thee,
He hath
destroyed thy
fenced
places
.
Come down from your
glory;
sit on
parched
ground
, O daughter dwelling
in
Dibon, for the
destroyer
of Moab has
come against
you;
he has
destroyed your
fortresses
.
On
the
way
stand ,
and watch, O inhabitant
of Aroer ,
Ask the fugitive
and
escaped,
Say
, What hath
happened?
Stand by
the
road
and watch, O dweller
of Aroer !
Ask the man
fleeing
or
the
woman
escaping
, ‘
What has
happened? ’
Put to shame hath
been
Moab
, For it hath
been broken
down,
Howl
and cry ,
declare ye
in
Arnon ,
For
spoiled
is
Moab ,
Moab
is
put to shame, for it has
been shattered.
Wail
and cry out!
Declare by
the
Arnon that
Moab is
destroyed.
And
judgment hath
come in
unto
the
land
of
the plain --
unto
Holon, And
unto
Jahazah
, and on
Mephaath,
Judgment has
come upon
the high
plain —
upon
Holon, Jahzah
, and Mephaath,
And
on
Dibon, and
on
Nebo, And on
Beth-Diblathaim, and
on
Kirathaim,
upon
Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
And
on
Beth-Gamul, and on
Beth-Meon,
upon
Kiriathaim,
Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
And
on
Kerioth, and
on
Bozrah, And on
all cities
of
the land
of Moab, The
far off
and the
near.
upon
Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns
of Moab, those
far and near.
Cut
down
hath
been
the horn of Moab, And his arm hath
been
broken, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
The horn of Moab has
been
cut
off
, and his arm is
broken, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
Declare
ye
him drunk, For
against
Jehovah
he made
himself great
And
Moab hath
stricken
in his vomit, And he hath
been
for
a derision
--
even
he
.
“Make
him drunk, because
he has
magnified
himself against
the
LORD;
so
Moab will
wallow
in his own
vomit, and he will
also
become
a laughingstock
.
And
was not Israel the
derision
to
thee
? Among
thieves
was he found? For since
thy
words
concerning
him ,
Thou
dost
bemoan
thyself
.
Was not Israel your
object
of
ridicule
? Was he ever
found among
thieves
? For whenever
you
speak
of
him you
shake
your
head
.
Forsake
cities,
and dwell
in
a
rock
, Ye
inhabitants
of Moab ,
And
be as
a dove making
a
nest
in
the passages
of a pit's
mouth
.
Abandon
the
towns
and settle
among
the
rocks
, O
dwellers
of Moab !
Be like
a dove that
nests
at
the mouth
of a cave
.
We have heard of the
arrogance
of
Moab
, Exceeding
proud!
His haughtiness,
and his
arrogance
, And
his pride,
and the
height
of his
heart ,
We have heard of Moab’s
pomposity
, his exceeding
pride
and conceit
, his proud
arrogance
and haughtiness
of heart .
I --
I
have
known,
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah,
His wrath
, and
`
it is '
not
right,
His devices
--
not
right
they
have
done
.
I know
his insolence
, ”
declares
the
LORD,
“but
it is futile.
His boasting
is
as
empty
as
his
deeds
.
Therefore for Moab I howl,
even
for Moab
--
all of it,
I cry
for men of Kir-Heres ,
it
doth
mourn,
Therefore I
will
wail
for Moab ;
I will
cry
out
for all of Moab;
I will
moan
for the
men of Kir-heres .
With
the
weeping
of
Jazer,
I weep for thee
, O vine of Sibmah, Thy
branches
have passed
over
a
sea,
Unto
the sea of
Jazer
they have
come,
On thy
summer fruits,
and on
thy
harvest ,
A
spoiler
hath
fallen
.
I will
weep for you
, O vine of Sibmah, more
than
I
weep
for
Jazer.
Your
tendrils
have extended
to
the sea ;
they reach
even
to
Jazer.
The
destroyer
has
descended
on your
summer fruit
and grape
harvest.
And
removed
hath
been
joy and gladness From the fruitful
field,
Even
from the land
of Moab ,
And
wine
from
wine-presses
I have caused
to
cease,
Shouting
doth
not
proceed,
The shouting
`is'
no shouting!
Joy and gladness are
removed
from the orchard
and
from the fields
of Moab .
I have stopped
the flow
of
wine
from
the
presses;
no one
treads
them
with
shouts
of
joy;
their
shouts
are
not
for
joy.
Because
of
the
cry of
Heshbon unto
Elealeh ,
Unto
Jahaz
they have
given
their voice
, From Zoar unto
Horonaim ,
A
heifer
of
the
third
`year',
For even waters of Nimrim become
desolations
.
There
is
a
cry from
Heshbon to
Elealeh ;
they raise
their voices
to
Jahaz
, from Zoar to
Horonaim and
Eglath-shelishiyah;
for even the
waters of Nimrim have
dried
up
.
And
I
have
caused
to
cease
to
Moab, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, Him
who is
offering
in
a
high place,
And him
who
is
making
perfume
to his
god
.
In
Moab, declares
the
LORD
, I
will
bring
an
end
to
those
who make
offerings
on
the
high places
and burn
incense
to their
gods
.
Therefore my heart for Moab as
pipes
doth
sound,
And
my
heart
for men of Kir-Heres As
pipes
doth
sound
, Therefore
the abundance
he
made
did
perish
.
Therefore My heart laments
like
a
flute
for Moab ;
it
laments
like
a
flute
for the
men of Kir-heres, because
the wealth
they
acquired
has
perished
.
For every head `
is '
bald,
and every beard diminished,
On all
hands
cuttings
, and on
the
loins
--
sackcloth.
For every head is shaved
and every beard is
clipped;
on every
hand
is
a
gash
, and around
every
waist
is
sackcloth.
On all roofs
of Moab ,
and in her
broad-places
, All
of
it
--
`
is '
lamentation,
For I have broken
Moab as
a
vessel
in
which
there
is
no
pleasure,
An affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
On all the
rooftops
of Moab and in the
public
squares
, everyone
is mourning;
for I have shattered
Moab like
an unwanted
jar,”
declares
the
LORD
.
How hath
it been
broken
down
! they have
howled,
How hath
Moab turned the
neck
ashamed,
And
Moab hath
been
for
a
derision.
And for
a
terror
to all round
about
her
.
“
How shattered
it is
! How
they wail!
How Moab has
turned his
back
in
shame!
Moab has
become
an
object
of
ridicule
and horror
to all those
around
him
. ”
For thus
said
Jehovah
: Lo
, as
an eagle he
doth
flee,
And hath
spread
his wings unto
Moab.
For this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “Behold
, an eagle swoops
down
and spreads
his wings against
Moab.
Captured
have
been the
cities
, And the strongholds are
caught,
And
the
heart
of
the
mighty
of
Moab
Hath
been
in that day as
the heart of a distressed
woman.
Kirioth
has
been taken
, and the strongholds seized.
In that day the heart of Moab’s
warriors
will
be
like
the
heart
of
a woman in
labor
.
And
Moab hath
been
destroyed from
`being'
a people,
For
against
Jehovah
he exerted
himself.
Moab will
be
destroyed as
a nation
because
he vaunted
himself against
the
LORD
.
Fear,
and a
snare,
and a
gin,
`are'
for
thee
, O inhabitant
of Moab --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
,
Terror
and pit
and snare
await
you
, O dweller
of Moab, ”
declares
the
LORD.
Whoso
is
fleeing
because
of
the fear
falleth
into the snare
, And whoso
is
coming
up
from the snare
is
captured
by
the gin,
For I bring in
unto
her
--
unto
Moab --
The year of their inspection
, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
“Whoever
flees
the panic
will
fall
into the pit
, and whoever
climbs
from the pit
will
be
caught
in
the snare.
For I will
bring upon
Moab the year of their punishment
, ”
declares
the
LORD
.
In the
shadow of
Heshbon
stood
powerless
have
fugitives
, For
fire hath
gone forth from Heshbon ,
And a flame from within Sihon ,
And
it consumeth
the corner
of Moab ,
And the crown
of the sons of Shaon
.
“Those
who
flee
will
stand
helpless
in Heshbon’s
shadow, because
fire has
gone forth from Heshbon and a flame from within Sihon .
It devours
the foreheads
of Moab and the skulls
of the sons of tumult
.
Wo
to thee
, O Moab ,
Perished
hath
the people of Chemosh ,
For thy
sons were
taken with
the
captives,
And thy
daughters with
the
captivity.
Woe
to you
, O Moab !
The people of Chemosh have
perished;
for your
sons have
been
taken into
exile
and your
daughters have
gone
into
captivity.
And
I
have
turned
back
`to'
the
captivity
of
Moab,
In the latter end
of
the
days, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah!
Hitherto
`is'
the judgment of
Moab.
Yet
in the latter days I
will
restore
Moab
from
captivity
, ”
declares
the LORD.
Here
ends
the
judgment on
Moab.
