1. Against Moab.Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:“Woe to Nebo!For it is plundered,Kirjathaim is shamed and taken;The high stronghold is shamed and dismayed—
2. No more praise of Moab.In Heshbon they have devised evil against her:‘Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.’You also shall be cut down, O Madmen!The sword shall pursue you;
3. A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim:‘Plundering and great destruction!’
4. “Moab is destroyed;Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard;
5. For in the Ascent of Luhith they ascend with continual weeping;For in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6. “Flee, save your lives!And be like the juniper in the wilderness.
7. For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures,You also shall be taken.And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity,His priests and his princes together.
