20. Moab has been humiliated, for it has been broken down.Howl and cry out.Tell it in Arnon,that Moab has been devastated.
21. And judgment has come upon the plain country:upon Holon and Jahzah and Mephaath,
22. and Dibon and Nebo and Beth Diblathaim,
23. and Kiriathaim and Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,
24. and Kerioth and Bozrah,and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.
25. The horn of Moab has been cut offand his arm has been broken,says the Lord.
26. Make him drunk,for he magnified himself against the Lord.Moab also will wallow in his vomit,and he also will be held in derision.
27. For was not Israel a derision to you?Or was he caught among thieves?For each time you speak of him,you shake your head in scorn.
28. O you who dwell in Moab,leave the cities and dwell in the rock,and be like the dove that makes her nestin the sides of the hole’s mouth.
29. We have heard of the pride of Moab(he is very proud),of his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride,and the haughtiness of his heart.
30. I know his wrath,says the Lord,but it is futile. His lies have accomplished nothing.
