Concerning Moab. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste; Kirioth is captured; Misgab is put to shame and the strongholds are seized.

No more is there praise for Moab; in Heshbon they plotted evil against her: "Come, let us cut her off as a nation," — strike her down and make her a ruin; the sword shall follow after you.

A cry rises from Horonaim—plunder and great destruction.

Moab is shattered; sound the lament—let her young men cry aloud.

For on the heights the lamentation goes up; in the descent of Horonaim the cry of rupture is heard.

Flee, save your lives, and be like the lone shrub in the desert.

Because you trusted in your deeds and in your storehouses, you too shall be taken; Chemosh shall go into exile—his priests and his princes together.

Plunder will come upon every city; there will be no escape. The valley perishes and the plain is destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.

Raise a shout for Moab—she is laid waste! Her towns shall be desolate; no one will dwell in them.

Cursed be the one who does the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be the one who withholds his sword from blood.

Moab has been at ease from his youth; he has trusted in his wine-casks and has not kept watch; he has not poured from one vessel to another nor gone into exile. Therefore his taste abides with him and his scent is not changed.

Therefore behold, days are coming, says the LORD, when I will send against him raiders who shall plunder; they shall empty his vessels and shatter his jars.

Moab shall be put to shame because of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was put to shame because of Bethel, their confidence.

How can you say, "We are mighty; we are warriors for the battle"? Thus says the LORD of hosts: I will cut off Moab and his towns; he shall go up, and the choice of his youths shall go down to the slaughter.

The calamity of Moab is near and his doom hastes swiftly.

All who surround him shall be appalled, and all who know his name will say: "How is the strong staff broken, the glorious rod!"

Put off your glory and sit thirsting, O daughter of Dibon; for Moab is plundered—ruin has fallen on the shrine.

Do not stand in the road; turn aside and hide, O inhabitant of Aroer; seek safety and flee—say, "What has become of the stronghold?"

Moab is ashamed—let them wail! Sound the alarm at Arnon: "Moab has been plundered!"

Judgment has gone forth on the plain country—on Holon, on Jahaz, and on Mephaath. And on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim. And on Kerioth, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon. And on their cities and on their strongholds and on all the chief cities of Moab, far and near.

The horn of Moab is cut off and his arm is broken, declares the LORD.

Lay him bare, for he magnified himself against the LORD; Moab shall be humbled and become a reproach.

Was it not Israel who was a derision to you and found among thieves? By the measure of your words concerning him you yourself shall be shaken.

Abandon the cities and dwell in the rocks, O inhabitants of Moab; be like the dove that makes a nest in the clefts of the ravine.

We have heard of the pride of Moab—very proud is his haughtiness, his arrogant heart and boastful pride.

I know his arrogance, says the LORD; but it is not so—his deeds shall not endure as he imagines.

Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all Moab; I will lament for the men of Kir-heres.

With weeping I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah; I have left you. From sea to sea they have passed, and they have touched your branches and your vintage; the gleaning has fallen.

Joy and gladness are taken away from Carmel and from the land of Moab; I have put an end to the shouting—the glad song of joy shall cease.

From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh and to Jahaz they raised their voice in lamentation to Horonaim; even the three-wheeled chariot is put to shame—indeed even the waters of Nimrim shall be dry.

I will make Moab a desolation, says the LORD—an object of slaughter and a burning heap for his gods.

Therefore my heart laments for Moab like flutes; my inward parts for the men of Kir-heres like a harp—yet the remnant of Moab shall perish.

Every head is shaved, every beard pared; upon all hands are girdles, and on their loins sackcloth.

On all the roofs of Moab and in all her public squares there shall be lamentation; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which there is no pleasure, says the LORD.

How shamed he is! Moab is confounded and has turned his head back—Moab is a reproach and a curse to all around him.

For thus says the LORD: Behold, an eagle shall fly and spread his wings over Moab.

The cities are captured and their strongholds seized; then the hearts of Moab's warriors in that day shall be like a woman in travail.

Moab shall be cut off as a people because he magnified himself against the LORD.

Terror, and a snare, and a pit are upon you who dwell in Moab, says the LORD.

The one who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit, and he who climbs out of the pit shall be caught in the snare; for I will bring upon Moab a time of punishment, declares the LORD.

At the outcry from Heshbon they stand in strength because of the multitudes of fugitives; for a fire shall come forth from Heshbon, a flame from the midst of Sihon, and it shall devour the border of Moab and the head of the sons of tumult.

Woe to you, Moab! Destroyed is the people of Chemosh; for your sons have been taken captive and your daughters into captivity.

Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the latter days, says the LORD—thus far is the judgment upon Moab.
