35. Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,” says Yahweh, “him who offers in the high place, and him who burns incense to his gods.
36. Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres. Therefore the abundance that he has gotten has perished.
37. For every head is bald, and every beard clipped. There are cuttings on all the hands, and sackcloth on the waist.
38. On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is lamentation everywhere; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one delights,” says Yahweh.
39. “How it is broken down! How they wail! How Moab has turned the back with shame! So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.”
40. For Yahweh says: “Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
41. Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized. The heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42. Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Yahweh.
43. Terror, the pit, and the snare are on you, inhabitant of Moab,” says Yahweh.
