1. Concerning Moab:The Lord of heavenly forces,the God of Israel, proclaims:How awful for Nebo;it lies in ruins.Kirathaim is captured and shamed;the fortress is disgraced,reduced to rubble.
2. No one sings Moab’s praise any longer!In Heshbon they are hatchinga plot against her:"Come, let’s bring down the nation!"You too, madmen, will be silenced;the sword will pursue you.
3. Listen to the cries for help from Horonaim:"Destruction and massive devastation!"
4. Moab is shattered;its young cry for help.
5. On the way up to Luhith,there is uncontrollable weeping.On the way down to Horonaim,they hear sobs of anguish.
6. Run for your lives!Be like Aroer in the desert.
7. Because you have reliedon your own strength and treasures,you also will be captured.Chemosh will go into exile,together with his priests and officials.
