1 Concerning Moab:This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says:‘Woe to Nebo, for it will be ruined.Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured;the stronghold will be disgraced and shattered.
2 Moab will be praised no more;in Heshbon people will plot her downfall:“Come, let us put an end to that nation.”You, the people of Madmen, will also be silenced;the sword will pursue you.
3 Cries of anguish arise from Horonaim,cries of great havoc and destruction.
4 Moab will be broken;her little ones will cry out.
5 They go up the hill to Luhith,weeping bitterly as they go;on the road down to Horonaimanguished cries over the destruction are heard.
6 Flee! Run for your lives;become like a bush in the desert.
