1. This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says about Moab:How horrible it will be for Nebo; it will be destroyed.Kiriathaim will be put to shame; it will be captured.Its stronghold will be put to shame and torn down.
2. People will no longer praise Moab.The people in Heshbon will plan Moab’s destruction.“Let’s destroy that nation!”You will be silenced, city of Madmen.Death will come after you.
3. People will cry out from Horonaim, “Looting and great destruction!”
4. Moab will be broken.Its little ones will cry out.
5. People go up the pass of Luhith, crying bitterly as they go.On the road down to Horonaim they have heardthe distressful cry of destruction.
6. “Run away! Run for your lives!Run like a wild donkey in the desert.”
