1 The Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, told me to say to the nation of Moab:The town of Nebo is doomed;Kiriathaim will be capturedand disgraced,and even its fortresswill be left in ruins.
2 No one honours you, Moab.In Heshbon, enemies make plansto end your life.My sword will leave only silencein your town named “Quiet”.
3 The people of Horonaimwill cry for help,as their town is attackedand destroyed.
4 Moab will be shattered!Your children will sob
5 and cry on their way upto the town of Luhith;on the road to Horonaimthey will tell of disasters.
6 Run for your lives!Head into the desertlike a wild donkey.
7 You thought you could be savedby your power and wealth,but you will be capturedalong with your god Chemosh,his priests, and officials.
