1. Of Moab. Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! for it is laid waste; Kiriathaim is disappointed, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and broken down.
2. The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.
3. The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!
4. Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
