27. For wasn’t Israel a derision to you?Was he found among thieves?For as often as you speak of him,you shake your head.
28. You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock.Be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29. “We have heard of the pride of Moab.He is very proud in his loftiness, his pride,his arrogance, and the arrogance of his heart.
30. I know his wrath,” says the Lord, “that it is nothing;his boastings have done nothing.
31. Therefore I will wail for Moab.Yes, I will cry out for all Moab.They will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32. With more than the weeping of JazerI will weep for you, vine of Sibmah.Your branches passed over the sea.They reached even to the sea of Jazer.The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruitsand on your vintage.
