A Message About Moab
Concerning Moab:
This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:
“Woe to Nebo, for it will be ruined.
Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured;
the stronghold will be disgraced and shattered.
2
Moab will be praised no more;
in Heshbon men will plot her downfall:
‘Come, let us put an end to that nation.’
You too, O Madmen, will be silenced;
the sword will pursue you.
3
Listen to the cries from Horonaim,
cries of great havoc and destruction.
4
Moab will be broken;
her little ones will cry out.
5
They go up the way to Luhith,
weeping bitterly as they go;
on the road down to Horonaim
anguished cries over the destruction are heard.
6
Flee! Run for your lives;
become like a bush in the desert.
