1. Concerning Moab. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:Ah, Nebo! it is ravaged;Kiriathaim is disgraced, captured;Disgraced and overthrown is the stronghold:
2. Moab’s glory is no more.In Heshbon they plot evil against her:“Come! We will put an end to her as a nation.”You, too, Madmen, shall be silenced;you the sword stalks!
3. Listen! an outcry from Horonaim,“Ruin and great destruction!”
4. “Moab is crushed!”their outcry is heard in Zoar.
5. Up the ascent of Luhiththey go weeping;At the descent to Horonaimthey hear cries of anguish:
6. “Flee, save your lives!Be like a wild donkey in the wilderness!”
