¹ Yahweh’s message for the land of Moab.[1] Yahweh, God of Israel, Commander of Angel Armies, says to you:

² The fame of Moab is no more.

³ Listen, the people of Horonaim cry out:

⁴ Moab is shattered,

⁵ Yes, they are weeping all the way up to Luhith.

⁶ The people of Moab shout, ‘Flee for your lives

⁷ Moab, you put your faith in your works and your wealth.

⁸ The destroyer will attack every city;

⁹ Give Moab wings so she can fly away.

¹⁰ “Cursed be the one who does the work of Yahweh halfheartedly,

¹¹ Moab has always lived securely

¹² But Yahweh declares, “The days are coming when I will send enemies who will pour her out like wine. They will empty her wine jar and smash it to pieces.

¹³ Then Moab will be ashamed of their god Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, the god who was once their confidence.

¹⁴ “How, then, can you say, ‘We are heroes of Moab

¹⁵ The destroyer has attacked the cities and destroyed Moab,

¹⁶ “The fall of Moab is at hand,

¹⁷ Grieve for her, all you neighboring countries

¹⁸ You who live in Fair Dibon,

¹⁹ You who live in Aroer,

²⁰ They answer, ‘Moab is humiliated.

²¹ “Yahweh has judged the cities of the plateau and has punished them. Those cities include Holon, Jahzah, Mephaath,

²² Dibon, Nebo, Beth Diblathaim,

²³ Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, Beth Meon,

²⁴ Kerioth, and Bozrah. He has punished all the cities of Moab, far and near.”

²⁵ Yahweh declares: “All the strength[7] of Moab is cut off, and her power[8] is broken.”

²⁶ “Make Moab drink from this cup until drunk because she exalted herself against Yahweh. Drunken Moab will wallow in her own vomit until she makes the world laugh at her.

²⁷ And they will say, ‘Didn’t you make fun of Israel in the past? Didn’t you say Israel was nothing but crooks? Whenever you spoke of her, didn’t you shake your head in disgust?’

²⁸ “People of Moab, flee your cities and hide in the rocks.

²⁹ Everyone knows about the pride of Moab.

³⁰ But I, Yahweh, know of her insolent defiance.

³¹ Therefore I wail for Moab;[10]

³² I will weep for you more than I wept for Jazer,[12]

³³ “The people no longer experience joy and gladness

³⁴ “The loud cries of Heshbon are heard as far as Elealeh and Jahaz. Cries from Zoar are heard in Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah. The brook of Nimrim has dried up.

³⁵ I will eliminate Moab’s idolaters, those who offer sacrifices in the high place and make offerings to their god,” declares Yahweh.

³⁶ Therefore, my heart sobs for Moab like a mournful flute. My heart moans as a sad funeral song played on a flute for the people of Kir Hareseth. All the wealth they accumulated has disappeared.

³⁷ Every head is shaved, and every beard is cut off as a sign of mourning. And around the waist is sackcloth, on all the hands are gashes.

³⁸ “On all the housetops of Moab and in the streets, people are mourning because I have broken Moab like a discarded vessel for which no one cares,” declares Yahweh.

³⁹ How it is broken! How they wail! How Moab has turned her back in disgrace! All the surrounding nations find Moab a laughingstock and a thing of horror.

⁴⁰ For Yahweh says:

⁴¹ The enemy will capture the cities and the fortresses of Kerioth.

⁴² Moab will be destroyed,

⁴³ For Yahweh declares,

⁴⁴ The one who flees from the terror

⁴⁵ In Heshbon’s shelter, exhausted refugees are helpless,

⁴⁶ Woe to you, O Moab!

⁴⁷ Yet in the days to come,
