1 Concerning Moab, thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel: “Woe to Nebo, for it is devastated. It is ashamed, Kiriathaim is captured. Misgab is ashamed, and it is filled with terror.
2 The glory of Moab is no longer. In Heshbon they planned evil against her. Come and let us cut her off from being a nation. Also, Madmen, you will be silent. After you will go the sword.
3 The sound of a cry of distress arises from Horonaim, devastation and great destruction.
4 Moab is broken, her little ones make heard a cry for help.
5 For the ascent of Luhith, in weeping they go weeping, For on the slope of Horonaim they have heard the distresses of the cry of distress of the destruction.
6 Flee! Save your life! For you must not be like the juniper tree in the desert.
