1. Against Moab thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
2. There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also you shall be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue you.
3. A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, plundering and great destruction.
4. Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5. For in the ascent of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6. Flee, save your lives, and be like the bush in the wilderness.
7. For because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you shall also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.
