King James Version
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
.
Against
Moab thus saith
the
LORD
of hosts, the
God of Israel ;
Woe
unto Nebo !
for it is spoiled :
Kiriathaim is
confounded
and
taken:
Misgab
is
confounded
and
dismayed
.
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 shall
be
no more praise of Moab :
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 a
cry
`is'
from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
A voice of crying
shall
be
from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.
Destroyed
hath
been
Moab ,
Caused a cry to be heard have
her
little
ones
.
Moab is
destroyed;
her
little
ones
have
caused a cry to be heard.
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 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 ye
, deliver
yourselves
, Ye
are
as
a
naked
thing
in a
wilderness.
Flee, save
your
lives
, and
be
like
the
heath
in the
wilderness.
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.
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 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
.
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 to
Moab, for
she
utterly
goeth
out,
And her
cities
are
for a
desolation
, Without an
inhabitant
in
them
.
Give wings unto
Moab, that
it
may
flee
and get
away:
for the
cities
thereof
shall
be
desolate
, without any
to
dwell
therein
.
Cursed `is'
he who
is
doing
the work of Jehovah
slothfully
, And cursed `is'
he Who
is
withholding
his sword from blood.
Cursed be
he that
doeth
the work of the
LORD
deceitfully
, and cursed be
he that
keepeth
back
his sword from blood.
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 hath
been
at
ease
from his youth, 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, 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 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 ashamed
hath
been
Moab because
of Chemosh, As the house of Israel have
been
ashamed Because
of Beth-El
their confidence.
And Moab shall
be
ashamed
of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was
ashamed of Bethel
their confidence.
How do
ye
say, We `
are '
mighty ,
And men of
strength
for battle
?
How say ye
, We are mighty and strong
men for the
war
?
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 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.
Near
is
the calamity of Moab to come, And his affliction hath
hasted
exceedingly
.
The calamity of Moab is
near
to come, and his affliction hasteth
fast
.
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.
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 !
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
.
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
.
On
the
way
stand,
and
watch,
O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask
the fugitive
and escaped
, Say, What hath
happened
?
O inhabitant of Aroer, stand
by
the way,
and espy;
ask
him
that
fleeth
, and
her
that
escapeth,
and
say, What is
done
?
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
confounded;
for it is
broken down :
howl and cry ;
tell
ye it
in Arnon, that
Moab is
spoiled
,
And judgment hath
come in
unto
the
land
of
the plain --
unto
Holon, And unto
Jahazah, and on
Mephaath,
And judgment is
come upon
the plain country;
upon
Holon, and upon
Jahazah, and upon
Mephaath,
And on
Dibon, and on
Nebo, And on
Beth-Diblathaim,
and
on
Kirathaim
,
And upon
Dibon, and upon
Nebo, and upon
Bethdiblathaim

,
And upon
Kiriathaim
, and upon

Cut
down
hath
been
the horn of Moab, And his arm hath
been
broken, An
affirmation
of
Jehovah
.
The horn of Moab is
cut
off
, and his arm is
broken, saith
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
ye him drunken:
for he magnified
himself against
the
LORD:
Moab also
shall
wallow
in his vomit, and he also
shall
be
in
derision.
And
was not Israel the
derision to
thee? Among
thieves
was he found? For since thy
words
concerning
him, Thou dost
bemoan
thyself
.
For
was not Israel a
derision unto
thee? was he found among
thieves
? for since thou
spakest
of
him, thou skippedst
for
joy
.
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.
O
ye
that
dwell
in
Moab,
leave
the
cities, and dwell in the
rock, and be like
the
dove that
maketh
her
nest in the sides
of the
hole's
mouth.
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 the pride
of Moab, (he
is
exceeding proud )
his loftiness
, and his arrogancy
, and his pride, and the haughtiness
of his 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 wrath, saith
the
LORD;
but
it shall
not be
so;
his lies
shall
not so
effect
it
.
Therefore for
Moab
I howl ,
even
for Moab --
all
of
it
, I cry for men of Kir-Heres,
it
doth
mourn,
Therefore will
I howl for Moab, and
I will
cry out
for all
Moab;
mine
heart
shall
mourn
for
the
men of Kirheres.
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
.
O
vine
of Sibmah
, I will
weep for thee with
the
weeping
of Jazer:
thy plants
are
gone
over the
sea, they
reach
even
to
the sea of Jazer :
the
spoiler
is
fallen
upon
thy summer fruits and upon
thy vintage
.
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 !
And joy and gladness is
taken
from the plentiful
field, and
from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine
to fail
from
the winepresses:
none
shall
tread
with
shouting ;
their
shouting
shall
be
no shouting .
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
.
From
the cry of Heshbon even
unto Elealeh, and
even
unto Jahaz ,
have they
uttered
their voice, from Zoar even
unto Horonaim, as
an
heifer of three
years
old:
for the
waters also
of Nimrim shall
be
desolate
.
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
.
Moreover
I will
cause
to cease in
Moab, saith
the
LORD
, him that
offereth
in the
high places
, and him that
burneth
incense
to his 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 mine
heart shall
sound
for Moab like
pipes, and mine
heart shall
sound
like
pipes
for the
men of Kirheres:
because
the riches
that
he hath
gotten
are
perished
.
For every head `is'
bald, and every beard diminished,
On
all hands cuttings, and on
the loins --
sackcloth.
For every head shall
be
bald, and every beard clipped:
upon
all the
hands shall
be
cuttings, and upon
the loins 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
.
There
shall
be
lamentation
generally
upon
all the
housetops
of Moab, and in the
streets
thereof:
for I have broken Moab like
a vessel wherein
is no pleasure, saith
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
.
They
shall
howl,
saying,
How is
it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back
with
shame!
so
shall
Moab be
a derision and a dismaying
to all them
about him
.
For thus said
Jehovah:
Lo
, as an eagle he
doth
flee
, And hath
spread his wings unto
Moab.
For thus saith
the
LORD;
Behold
, he
shall
fly
as an eagle, and shall
spread his wings over
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.
Kerioth
is
taken
, and the strong
holds
are surprised
, and the mighty men's
hearts
in Moab
at
that day shall
be
as the heart of a woman in
her
pangs
.
And Moab hath
been
destroyed from `
being '
a people, For
against
Jehovah
he exerted
himself.
And Moab shall
be
destroyed from being a people, because
he hath
magnified
himself against
the
LORD
.
Fear, and a
snare
, and a
gin
, `are'
for
thee, O inhabitant of Moab --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
,
Fear, and the
pit
, and the
snare
, shall
be
upon
thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith
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
.
He
that
fleeth
from
the fear shall
fall
into the pit;
and he
that
getteth
up out
of
the pit
shall
be
taken
in
the snare:
for I will
bring upon
it,
even
upon
Moab ,
the year of their visitation
, saith
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
.
They
that
fled
stood
under
the shadow of Heshbon because
of
the
force:
but
a
fire shall
come
forth out
of
Heshbon, and a flame from the
midst
of
Sihon, and shall
devour
the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head
of the
tumultuous
ones
.
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
be
unto
thee, O Moab !
the people of Chemosh perisheth:
for thy sons are
taken captives, and thy daughters captives
.
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
will
I bring
again
the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith
the
LORD.
Thus
far
is the judgment of Moab.
