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;

That she may flee and get away;
For her cities shall be desolate,
Without any to dwell in them.

11 “Moab has been at ease from his youth;

And has not been emptied from vessel to vessel,
Nor has he gone into captivity.
Therefore his taste remained in him,
And his scent has not changed.

And his scent has not changed.
12 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord,
“That I shall send him1 wine-workers
