[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)
