Judgment on Moab
1 Against aMoab. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:
“Woe to bNebo!
For it is plundered,
cKirjathaim is shamed and taken;
1The high stronghold is shamed and dismayed—
“Woe to bNebo!
For it is plundered,
cKirjathaim is shamed and taken;
1The high stronghold is shamed and dismayed—
2 aNo more praise of Moab.
In bHeshbon they have devised evil against her:
‘Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.’
You also shall be cut down, O cMadmen!
The sword shall pursue you;
In bHeshbon they have devised evil against her:
‘Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.’
You also shall be cut down, O cMadmen!
The sword shall pursue you;
5 aFor in the Ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping;
For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
7 For because you have trusted in your works and your atreasures,
You also shall be taken.
And bChemosh shall go forth into captivity,
His cpriests and his princes together.
You also shall be taken.
And bChemosh shall go forth into captivity,
His cpriests and his princes together.
8 And athe plunderer shall come against every city;
No one shall escape.
The valley also shall perish,
And the plain shall be destroyed,
As the Lord has spoken.
No one shall escape.
The valley also shall perish,
And the plain shall be destroyed,
As the Lord has spoken.
9 “Givea wings to Moab,
That she may flee and get away;
For her cities shall be desolate,
Without any to dwell in them.
That she may flee and get away;
For her cities shall be desolate,
Without any to dwell in them.
10 aCursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully,
And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
And cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
