1. Concerning Moab.Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:“Woe to Nebo, for it is laid waste! Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken;the fortress is put to shame and broken down;
2. the renown of Moab is no more.In Heshbon they planned disaster against her:‘Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!’You also, O Madmen, shall be brought to silence;the sword shall pursue you.
3. “A voice! A cry from Horonaim,‘Desolation and great destruction!’
4. Moab is destroyed;her little ones have made a cry.
