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— ‡

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; ‡

3 A voice of crying shall be from ^aHoronaim:
‘Plundering and great destruction!’ ‡
