Of MoabH4124. Thus saithH559 JehovahH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: WoeH1945 unto NeboH5015! for it is laid wasteH7703; KiriathaimH7156 is put to shameH3001, it is takenH3920; MisgabH4869 is put to shameH3001 and broken downH2865. The praiseH8416 of MoabH4124 is no more; in HeshbonH2809 they have devisedH2803 evilH7451 against her: ComeH3212, and let us cut her offH3772 from being a nationH1471. Thou also, O MadmenH4086, shalt be broughtH1826 to silence: the swordH2719 shall pursueH3212 theeH310. The soundH6963 of a cryH6963 from HoronaimH2773, desolationH7701 and greatH1419 destructionH7701! MoabH4124 is destroyedH7665; her little onesH6810 have caused a cryH2201 to be heardH8085. For by the ascentH4608 of LuhithH3872 with continualH1065 weepingH1065 shall they go upH5927; for at the descentH4174 of HoronaimH2773 theyH6862 have heardH8085 the distress of the cryH6818 of destructionH7667. FleeH5127, saveH4422 your livesH5315, and beH1961 like the heathH6176 in the wildernessH4057. For, because thou hast trustedH982 in thy worksH4639 and in thy treasuresH214, thou also shalt be takenH3920: and ChemoshH3645 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473, his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162. And the destroyerH7703 shall comeH935 upon every cityH5892, and no cityH5892 shall escapeH4422; the valleyH6010 also shall perishH6, and the plainH4334 shall be destroyedH8045; as JehovahH3068 hath spokenH559. GiveH5414 wingsH6731 unto MoabH4124, that she may flyH5323 and get her awayH3318: and her citiesH5892 shall become a desolationH8047, without any to dwellH3427 thereinH2004. CursedH779 be he that doethH6213 the workH4399 of JehovahH3068 negligentlyH7423; and cursedH779 be he that keepeth backH4513 his swordH2719 from bloodH1818. MoabH4124 hath been at easeH7599 from his youthH5271, and he hath settledH8252 on his leesH8105, and hath not been emptiedH7324 from vesselH3627 to vesselH3627, neither hath he goneH1980 into captivityH1473: therefore his tasteH2940 remainethH5975 in him, and his scentH7381 is not changedH4171. Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 JehovahH3068, that I will sendH7971 unto him them that pourH6808 off, and they shall pourH6808 him off; and they shall emptyH7324 his vesselsH3627, and breakH5310 their bottlesH5035 in pieces. And MoabH4124 shall be ashamedH954 of ChemoshH3645, as the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was ashamedH954 of Beth-elH1008 their confidenceH4009. How sayH559 ye, We are mightyH1368 men, and valiantH2428 menH582 for the warH4421? MoabH4124 is laid wasteH7703, and they are gone upH5927 into his citiesH5892, and his chosenH4005 young menH970 are gone downH3381 to the slaughterH2874, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is JehovahH3068 of hostsH6635. The calamityH343 of MoabH4124 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and his afflictionH7451 hastethH4116 fastH3966. All ye that are round aboutH5439 him, bemoanH5110 him, and all ye that knowH3045 his nameH8034; sayH559, How is the strongH5797 staffH4294 brokenH7665, the beautifulH8597 rodH4731! O thou daughterH1323 that dwellestH3427 in DibonH1769, come downH3381 from thy gloryH3519, and sitH3427 in thirstH6772; for the destroyerH7703 of MoabH4124 is comeH5927 up against thee, he hath destroyedH7843 thy strongholdsH4013. O inhabitantH3427 of AroerH6177, standH5975 by the wayH1870, and watchH6822: askH7592 him that fleethH5127, and her that escapethH4422; sayH559, What hath been doneH1961? MoabH4124 is put to shameH3001; for it is broken downH2865: wailH3213 and cryH2199; tellH5046 ye it by the ArnonH769, that MoabH4124 is laid wasteH7703. And judgmentH4941 is comeH935 upon the plainH4334 countryH776, upon HolonH2473, and upon JahzahH3096, and upon MephaathH4158, and upon DibonH1769, and upon NeboH5015, and upon Beth-diblathaimH1015, and upon KiriathaimH7156, and upon Beth-gamulH1014, and upon Beth-meonH1010, and upon KeriothH7152, and upon BozrahH1224, and upon all the citiesH5892 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, farH7350 or nearH7138. The hornH7161 of MoabH4124 is cut offH1438, and his armH2220 is brokenH7665, saithH5002 JehovahH3068. Make ye him drunkenH7937; for he magnifiedH1431 himself against JehovahH3068: and MoabH4124 shall wallowH5606 in his vomitH6892, and he also shall be in derisionH7814. For was not IsraelH3478 a derisionH7814 unto thee? was he foundH4672 among thievesH1590? for as oftenH1767 as thou speakestH1697 of him, thou waggestH5110 the head. O ye inhabitantsH3427 of MoabH4124, leaveH5800 the citiesH5892, and dwellH3427 in the rockH5553; and be like the doveH3123 that maketh her nestH7077 overH5676 the mouthH6310 of the abyssH6354. We have heardH8085 of the prideH1347 of MoabH4124, that he is veryH3966 proudH1343; his loftinessH1363, and his prideH1347, and his arrogancyH1346, and the haughtinessH7312 of his heartH3820. I knowH3045 his wrathH5678, saithH5002 JehovahH3068, that it is nought; his boastingsH907 have wrought nothingH6213. Therefore will I wailH3213 for MoabH4124; yea, I will cry outH2199 for all MoabH4124: for the menH582 of Kir-heresH7025 shall they mournH1897. With more than the weepingH1065 of JazerH3270 will I weepH1058 for thee, O vineH1612 of SibmahH7643: thy branchesH5189 passed overH5674 the seaH3220, they reachedH5060 even to the seaH3220 of JazerH3270: upon thy summer fruitsH7019 and upon thy vintageH1210 the destroyerH7703 is fallenH5307. And gladnessH1524 and joyH8057 is takenH622 away from the fruitful fieldH3759 and from the landH776 of MoabH4124; and I have caused wineH3196 to ceaseH7673 from the winepressesH3342: none shall treadH1869 with shoutingH1959; the shoutingH1959 shall be no shoutingH1959. From the cryH2201 of HeshbonH2809 even unto ElealehH500, even unto JahazH3096 have they utteredH5414 their voiceH6963, from ZoarH6820 even unto HoronaimH2773, to EglathH5697-shelishiyahH7992: for the watersH4325 of NimrimH5249 also shall become desolateH4923. Moreover I will cause to ceaseH7673 in MoabH4124, saithH5002 JehovahH3068, him that offerethH5927 in the high placeH1116, and him that burneth incenseH6999 to his godsH430. Therefore my heartH3820 soundethH1993 for MoabH4124 like pipesH2485, and my heartH3820 soundethH1993 like pipesH2485 for the menH582 of Kir-heresH7025: therefore the abundanceH3502 that he hath gottenH6213 is perishedH6. For every headH7218 is baldH7144, and every beardH2206 clippedH1639: upon all the handsH3027 are cuttingsH1417, and upon the loinsH4975 sackclothH8242. On all the housetopsH1406 of MoabH4124 and in the streetsH7339 thereof there is lamentationH4553 every where; for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like a vesselH3627 wherein none delightethH2656, saithH5002 JehovahH3068. How is it broken downH2865! how do they wailH3213! how hath MoabH4124 turnedH6437 the backH6203 with shameH954! so shall MoabH4124 become a derisionH7814 and a terrorH4288 to all that are round aboutH5439 him. For thus saithH559 JehovahH3068: Behold, he shall flyH1675 as an eagleH5404, and shall spreadH6566 out his wingsH3671 against MoabH4124. KeriothH7152 is takenH3920, and the strongholdsH4679 are seizedH3920, and the heartH3820 of the mighty menH1368 of MoabH4124 at that dayH3117 shall be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangsH6887. And MoabH4124 shall be destroyedH8045 from being a peopleH5971, because he hath magnifiedH1431 himself against JehovahH3068. FearH6343, and the pitH6354, and the snareH6341, are upon thee, O inhabitantH3427 of MoabH4124, saithH5002 JehovahH3068. He that fleethH5127 fromH6440 the fearH6343 shall fallH5307 into the pitH6354; and he that getteth upH5927 out of the pitH6354 shall be takenH3920 in the snareH6341: for I will bringH935 upon him, even upon MoabH4124, the yearH8141 of their visitationH6486, saithH5002 JehovahH3068. They that fledH5127 standH5975 without strengthH3581 under the shadowH6738 of HeshbonH2809; for a fireH784 is gone forthH3318 out of HeshbonH2809, and a flameH3852 from the midstH996 of SihonH5511, and hath devouredH398 the cornerH6285 of MoabH4124, and the crown of the headH6936 of the tumultuousH7588 onesH1121. WoeH188 unto thee, O MoabH4124! the peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645 is undoneH6; for thy sonsH1121 are takenH3947 away captiveH7628, and thy daughtersH1323 into captivityH7633. Yet will I bring backH7725 the captivityH7622 of MoabH4124 in the latterH319 daysH3117, saithH5002 JehovahH3068. Thus farH2008 is the judgmentH4941 of MoabH4124.
