1 This is what the Lord of Armies, the God of Israel, says about Moab:How horrible it will be for Nebo; it will be destroyed.Kiriathaim will be put to shame; it will be captured.Its stronghold will be put to shame and torn down.
2 People will no longer praise Moab.The people in Heshbon will plan Moab’s destruction.“Let’s destroy that nation!”You will be silenced, city of Madmen.Death will come after you.
3 People will cry out from Horonaim, “Looting and great destruction!”
4 Moab will be broken.Its little ones will cry out.
5 People go up the pass of Luhith, crying bitterly as they go.On the road down to Horonaim they have heardthe distressful cry of destruction.
