|
||||
not one town will escape.
|

The valley will perish,
|

and the plain will be annihilated,

as
|
||||
the Lord has said.

without inhabitant.

10 The one who does
|
||||
the Lord’s business deceitfully is cursed,

He hasn't been poured from one container to another
|
||||
He hasn’t been poured from one container to another
|
||||
or gone into exile.
|
||||
So his taste has remained the same,
|
||||
and his aroma hasn't changed.
|
||||
|
||||
12. Therefore look, the days are coming--
|
||||
this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration--
|

12 Therefore look, the days are coming—

this is the Lord’s declaration—
|

when I will send pourers to him, who will pour him out.
|
||||
|
||||
They will empty his containers
|
||||
and smash his jars.

|
||||
13 Moab will be put to shame because of Chemosh,
|

just as the house of Israel was put to shame
|

because of Bethel that they trusted in.

valiant men for battle"?

14 How can you say, “We are warriors—
|
||||
valiant men for battle”?
|
||||
15 The destroyer of Moab and its towns
|

has come up,
|
||||
and the best of its young men

have gone down to slaughter.

This is the King's declaration;

Say, “How the mighty scepter is shattered,
|
||||
the glorious staff!”
|

resident of the daughter of Dibon,

||||
19 Stand by the highway and watch,
|
||||
resident of Aroer!
|
||||
Ask him who is fleeing or her who is escaping,
|

"What happened?"

|
||||
20. Moab is put to shame, indeed dismayed.
|
||||
“What happened?”
|
||||
20 Moab is put to shame, indeed dismayed.
|
||||
Wail and cry out!
|
||||
Declare by the Arnon
|
||||
that Moab is destroyed.
|
||||
|
||||
21. "Judgment has come to the land of the plateau--to Holon, Jahzah, Mephaath,
|
||||
22. Dibon, Nebo, Beth-diblathaim,
|
||||
23. Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, Beth-meon,
|
||||
24. Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of the land of Moab, those far and near.
|
||||
25. Moab's horn is chopped off; his arm is shattered."
|
||||
This is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
|
||||
26. "Make him drunk, because he has exalted himself against
|
||||
the Lord.
|
||||
Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.
|
||||
27. Wasn't Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head."
|
||||
|
||||
28. Abandon the towns! Live in the cliffs,
|
||||
21 “Judgment has come to the land of the plateau—to Holon, Jahzah, Mephaath,
|
||||
22 Dibon, Nebo, Beth-diblathaim,
|
||||
23 Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, Beth-meon,
|
||||
24 Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of the land of Moab, those far and near.
|
||||
25 Moab’s horn is chopped off; his arm is shattered.”
|
||||
This is the Lord’s declaration.
|
||||
26 “Make him drunk, because he has exalted himself against the Lord. Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.
|
||||
27 Wasn’t Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.”
|
||||
28 Abandon the towns! Live in the cliffs,
|
||||
residents of Moab!
|
||||
Be like a dove
|
||||
that nests inside the mouth of a cave.
|
||||
|
||||
29. We have heard of Moab's pride,
|
||||
great pride, indeed--
|
||||
29 We have heard of Moab’s pride,
|
||||
great pride, indeed—
|
||||
his insolence, arrogance, pride,
|
||||
and haughty heart.
|
||||
|
||||
30. I know his outburst.
|
||||
This is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
30 I know his outburst.
|
||||
This is the Lord’s declaration.
|
||||
It is empty.
|
||||
His boast is empty.
|
||||
|
||||
31. Therefore, I will wail over Moab.
|
||||
31 Therefore, I will wail over Moab.
|
||||
I will cry out for Moab, all of it;
|
||||
he will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
|
||||
|
||||
32. I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah,
|
||||
32 I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah,
|
||||
with more than the weeping for Jazer.
|
||||
Your tendrils have extended to the sea;
|
||||
they have reached to the sea and to Jazer.
|
||||
The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruit and grape harvest.
|
||||
|
||||
33. Gladness and celebration are taken from the fertile field
|
||||
33 Gladness and celebration are taken from the fertile field
|
||||
and from the land of Moab.
|
||||
I have stopped the flow of wine from the winepresses;
|
||||
no one will tread with shouts of joy.
|
||||
The shouting is not a shout of joy.
|
||||
|
||||
34. "There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they make their voices heard as far as Jahaz--from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah--because even the Waters of Nimrim have become desolate.
|
||||
35. In Moab, I will stop"--this is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration--"the one who offers sacrifices on the high place and burns incense to his gods.
|
||||
36. Therefore, my heart moans like flutes for Moab, and my heart moans like flutes for the people of Kir-heres. And therefore, the wealth he has gained has perished.
|
||||
37. Indeed, every head is bald and every beard is chopped short. On every hand is a gash and sackcloth around the waist.
|
||||
38. On all the rooftops of Moab and in her public squares, everyone is mourning because I have shattered Moab like a jar no one wants." This is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
39. "How broken it is! They wail! How Moab has turned his back! He is ashamed. Moab will become a laughingstock and a shock to all those around him."
|
||||
|
||||
40. For this is what
|
||||
the Lord says:
|
||||
34 “There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they make their voices heard as far as Jahaz—from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah—because even the Waters of Nimrim have become desolate.
|
||||
35 In Moab, I will stop”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“the one who offers sacrifices on the high place and burns incense to his gods.
|
||||
36 Therefore, my heart moans like flutes for Moab, and my heart moans like flutes for the people of Kir-heres. And therefore, the wealth he has gained has perished.
|
||||
37 Indeed, every head is bald and every beard is chopped short. On every hand is a gash and sackcloth around the waist.
|
||||
38 On all the rooftops of Moab and in her public squares, everyone is mourning because I have shattered Moab like a jar no one wants.” This is the Lord’s declaration.
|
||||
39 “How broken it is! They wail! How Moab has turned his back! He is ashamed. Moab will become a laughingstock and a shock to all those around him.”
|
||||
40 For this is what the Lord says:
|
||||
Look! He will swoop down like an eagle
|
||||
and spread his wings against Moab.
|
||||
|
||||
41. The towns have been captured,
|
||||
41 The towns have been captured,
|
||||
and the strongholds seized.
|
||||
|
||||
In that day the heart of Moab's warriors
|
||||
In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors
|
||||
will be like the heart of a woman with contractions.
|
||||
|
||||
42. Moab will be destroyed as a people
|
||||
because he has exalted himself against
|
||||
the Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
43. Panic, pit, and trap
|
||||
42 Moab will be destroyed as a people
|
||||
because he has exalted himself against the Lord.
|
||||
43 Panic, pit, and trap
|
||||
await you, resident of Moab.
|
||||
This is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
|
||||
44. He who flees from the panic will fall in the pit,
|
||||
This is the Lord’s declaration.
|
||||
44 He who flees from the panic will fall in the pit,
|
||||
and he who climbs from the pit
|
||||
will be captured in the trap,
|
||||
for I will bring against Moab
|
||||
the year of their punishment.
|
||||
This is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
|
||||
45. Those who flee will stand exhausted in Heshbon's shadow
|
||||
This is the Lord’s declaration.
|
||||
45 Those who flee will stand exhausted in Heshbon’s shadow
|
||||
because fire has come out from Heshbon
|
||||
and a flame from within Sihon.
|
||||
|
||||
It will devour Moab's forehead
|
||||
It will devour Moab’s forehead
|
||||
and the skull of the noisemakers.
|
||||
|
||||
46. Woe to you, Moab!
|
||||
46 Woe to you, Moab!
|
||||
The people of Chemosh have perished
|
||||
because your sons have been taken captive
|
||||
and your daughters have gone into captivity.
|
||||
|
||||
47. Yet, I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the last days.
|
||||
This is
|
||||
the Lord's declaration.
|
||||
The judgment on Moab ends here.
