1 Of Moab. the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says:“Woe to Nebo!For it is laid waste.Kiriathaim is disappointed.It is taken.Misgab is put to shameand broken down.
2 The praise of Moab is no more.In Heshbon they have devised evil against her:‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence.The sword will pursue you.
3 The sound of a cry from Horonaim,desolation and great destruction!
4 Moab is destroyed.Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping.For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6 Flee! Save your lives!Be like the juniper bush in the wilderness.
