12 “So now, the time is coming when I will send people to pour Moab out like wine. They will empty its wine jars and break them in pieces.
13 Then the Moabites will be disillusioned with their god Chemosh, just as the Israelites were disillusioned with Bethel, a god in whom they trusted.
14 “Men of Moab, why do you claim to be heroes,brave soldiers tested in war?
15 Moab and its cities are destroyed;its finest young men have been slaughtered.I am the king, the Lord Almighty,and I have spoken.
16 Moab's doom approaches;its ruin is coming soon.
17 “Mourn for that nation, you that live near by,all of you that know its fame.Say, ‘Its powerful rule has been broken;its glory and might are no more.’
18 You that live in Dibon,come down from your place of honourand sit on the ground in the dust;Moab's destroyer is hereand has left its forts in ruins.
