Make ye him drunken: for he magnified [himself] against the Lord: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision (48:26) For was not Israel a derision unto thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou spakest of him, thou skippedst for joy (48:27) O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove [that] maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth (48:28) We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart (48:29) I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies shall not so effect [it] (48:30) Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; [mine heart] shall mourn for the men of Kirheres (48:31) O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach [even] to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage (48:32) And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; [their] shouting [shall be] no shouting (48:33) From the cry of Heshbon [even] unto Elealeh, [and even] unto Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar [even] unto Horonaim, [as] an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate (48:34) Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods (48:35) Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches [that] he hath gotten are perished (48:36) For every head [shall be] bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands [shall be] cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth (48:37) [There shall be] lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure, saith the Lord (48:38) They shall howl, [saying], How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him (48:39) For thus saith the Lord; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab (48:40) Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs (48:41) And Moab shall be destroyed from [being] a people, because he hath magnified [himself] against the Lord (48:42) Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord (48:43) He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, [even] upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord (48:44) They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones (48:45) Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives (48:46) Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the Lord. Thus far [is] the judgment of Moab
(48:47)
