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.
27. Now was not Israel the laughingstock to you? Or was he found among thieves? For as often as you spoke over him you shook your head.
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.
29. We have heard of the pride of Moab —he is very proud— his height, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30. I know his insolence,” declares Yahweh, “and his boastings are false; they act falsely.
31. Therefore over Moab I wail, and for all of Moab I cry out, for the people of Kir-heres I moan.
32. More than the weeping of Jazer I weep for you, O vine Sibmah. Your branches cross over the sea, up to the sea of Jazer they reach. Upon your summer fruit and upon your vintage the destroyer has fallen.
33. And joy and rejoicing have been taken away from the fruitful land, even from the land of Moab. And the wine from the wine presses I have caused to disappear. He will not tread with exuberant shouts. Exuberant shouts will not be exuberant shouts.
