1. This message was given concerning Moab. This is what the lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says:“What sorrow awaits the city of Nebo;it will soon lie in ruins.The city of Kiriathaim will be humiliated and captured;the fortress will be humiliated and broken down.
2. No one will ever brag about Moab again,for in Heshbon there is a plot to destroy her.‘Come,’ they say, ‘we will cut her off from being a nation.’The town of Madmen, too, will be silenced;the sword will follow you there.
3. Listen to the cries from Horonaim,cries of devastation and great destruction.
