21. Judgment has also come to the land of the plain, to Holon, and to Jahaz, and on Mephaath,

22. and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,

23. and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,

24. and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the towns of the land of Moab, the far and the near.

25. The horn of Moab is cut off and his arm is broken,” declares Yahweh.

26. “Make him drunk, because he magnified himself against Yahweh, and let Moab wallow in his vomit. And he also will become a laughingstock.

28. Leave the towns and dwell on the rock, O inhabitants of Moab, and be like the dove, it nests on the sides of the mouth of a ravine.

30. I know his insolence,” declares Yahweh, “and his boastings are false; they act falsely.
