1
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.
2
[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.
3
A
voice
of
crying
[shall
be]
from
Horonaim,
spoiling
and
great
destruction.
4
Moab
is
destroyed;
her
little
ones
have
caused
a
cry
to
be
heard.
5
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.
6
Flee,
save
your
lives,
and
be
like
the
heath
in
the
wilderness.
7
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.
8
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.
9
Give
wings
unto
Moab,
that
it
may
flee
and
get
away:
for
the
cities
thereof
shall
be
desolate,
without
any
to
dwell
therein.
10
Cursed
[be]
he
that
doeth
the
work
of
the
LORD
deceitfully,
and
cursed
[be]
he
that
keepeth
back
his
sword
from
blood.
11
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.
12
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.
13
And
Moab
shall
be
ashamed
of
Chemosh,
as
the
house
of
Israel
was
ashamed
of
Bethel
their
confidence.
14
How
say
ye,
We
[are]
mighty
and
strong
men
for
the
war?
15
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.
16
The
calamity
of
Moab
[is]
near
to
come,
and
his
affliction
hasteth
fast.
17
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!
18
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.
19
O
inhabitant
of
Aroer,
stand
by
the
way,
and
espy;
ask
him
that
fleeth,
and
her
that
escapeth,
[and]
say,
What
is
done?
20
Moab
is
confounded;
for
it
is
broken
down:
howl
and
cry;
tell
ye
it
in
Arnon,
that
Moab
is
spoiled,
21
And
judgment
is
come
upon
the
plain
country;
upon
Holon,
and
upon
Jahazah,
and
upon
Mephaath,
22
And
upon
Dibon,
and
upon
Nebo,
and
upon
Bethdiblathaim,
23
And
upon
Kiriathaim,
and
upon
Bethgamul,
and
upon
Bethmeon,
24
And
upon
Kerioth,
and
upon
Bozrah,
and
upon
all
the
cities
of
the
land
of
Moab,
far
or
near.
25
The
horn
of
Moab
is
cut
off,
and
his
arm
is
broken,
saith
the
LORD.
26
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.
27
For
was
not
Israel
a
derision
unto
thee?
was
he
found
among
thieves?
for
since
thou
spakest
of
him,
thou
skippedst
for
joy.
28
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.
29
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.
30
I
know
his
wrath,
saith
the
LORD;
but
[it
shall]
not
[be]
so;
his
lies
shall
not
so
effect
[it].
31
Therefore
will
I
howl
for
Moab,
and
I
will
cry
out
for
all
Moab;
[mine
heart]
shall
mourn
for
the
men
of
Kirheres.
32
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.
33
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.
34
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.
35
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.
36
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.
37
For
every
head
[shall
be]
bald,
and
every
beard
clipped:
upon
all
the
hands
[shall
be]
cuttings,
and
upon
the
loins
sackcloth.
38
[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.
39
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.
40
For
thus
saith
the
LORD;
Behold,
he
shall
fly
as
an
eagle,
and
shall
spread
his
wings
over
Moab.
41
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.
42
And
Moab
shall
be
destroyed
from
[being]
a
people,
because
he
hath
magnified
[himself]
against
the
LORD.
43
Fear,
and
the
pit,
and
the
snare,
[shall
be]
upon
thee,
O
inhabitant
of
Moab,
saith
the
LORD.
44
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.
45
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.
46
Woe
be
unto
thee,
O
Moab!
the
people
of
Chemosh
perisheth:
for
thy
sons
are
taken
captives,
and
thy
daughters
captives.
47
Yet
will
I
bring
again
the
captivity
of
Moab
in
the
latter
days,
saith
the
LORD.
Thus
far
[is]
the
judgment
of
Moab.
