48:3 | A voice of crying [shall be] from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction. |
48:4 | Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard. |
48:5 | For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction. |
48:6 | Flee, ![]() |
48:7 | For because thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, thou shalt also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity [with] his priests and his princes together. |
48:8 | And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken. |
48:9 | Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein. |
48:10 | Cursed [be] he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed [be] he that keepeth back his ![]() |
48:11 | Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed. |
48:12 | Therefore, behold, the ![]() |
48:13 | And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the ![]() ![]() |
48:14 | How say ye, We [are] mighty and strong men for the war? |

48:16 | The calamity of Moab [is] near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast. |
48:17 | All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, [and] the beautiful rod! |
48:18 | Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from [thy] ![]() |
48:19 | O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, [and] say, What is done? |
48:20 | Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled, |
48:21 | And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath, |
48:22 | And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Bethdiblathaim, |
48:23 | And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmeon, |
48:24 | And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. |
48:25 | The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the LORD. |
48:26 | 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. |
48:27 | For was not ![]() |
48:28 | 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' mouth. |
48:29 | 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. |
48:30 | I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies shall not so effect [it]. |
48:31 | Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; [mine heart] shall mourn for the men of Kirheres. |
48:32 | 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. |
48:33 | And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused ![]() |
48:34 | 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 ![]() |
48:35 | 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. |
48:36 | 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. |
48:37 | For every head [shall be] bald, and every ![]() |
48:38 | [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 ![]() |
48:39 | 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. |
48:40 | For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab. |
48:41 | Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men' hearts in Moab at that ![]() |
48:42 | And Moab shall be destroyed from [being] a people, because he hath magnified [himself] against the LORD. |

48:44 | 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. |
48:45 | 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. |
48:46 | Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives. |
