10 I want you to kill the Moabites,and if you let them escape,I will put a curse on you.”
11 Moab, you are like wineleft to settle undisturbed,never poured from jar to jar.And so, your nation continuesto prosper and improve.
12 But now, I will send enemiesto pour out the wineand smash the jars!
13 Then you will be ashamed,because your god Chemoshcannot save you,just as Bethel could not helpthe Israelites.
14 You claim that your soldiersare strong and brave.
15 But I am the Lord,the all-powerful King,and I promise that enemieswill overpower your towns.Even your best warriorswill die in the battle.
16 It won't be long now—disaster will hit Moab!
