|
2. There shall be no H369 more H5750 praise H8416 of Moab H4124 : in Heshbon H2809 they have devised H2803 evil H7451 against H5921 it; come H1980 , and let us cut it off H3772 from being a nation H4480 H1471 . Also H1571 thou shalt be cut down H1826 , O Madmen H4086 ; the sword H2719 shall pursue H1980 H310 thee.

|
5. For H3588 in the going up H4608 of Luhith H3872 continual weeping H1065 H1065 shall go up H5927 ; for H3588 in the going down H4174 of Horonaim H2773 the enemies H6862 have heard H8085 a cry H6818 of destruction H7667 .

7. For because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you shall also be captured. And Chemosh shall go into exile; both his priests and his rulers.
|
7. For H3588 because H3282 thou hast trusted H982 in thy works H4639 and in thy treasures H214 , thou H859 shalt also H1571 be taken H3920 : and Chemosh H3645 shall go forth H3318 into captivity H1473 with his priests H3548 and his princes H8269 together H3162 .

|
8. And the spoiler H7703 shall come H935 upon H413 every H3605 city H5892 , and no H3808 city H5892 shall escape H4422 : the valley H6010 also shall perish H6 , and the plain H4334 shall be destroyed H8045 , as H834 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H559 .
|
|
9. Give wings to Moab, for it will fly away; and its cities shall be a desert, without an inhabitant in them.
|
9. Give H5414 wings H6731 unto Moab H4124 , that H3588 it may flee H5323 and get away H3318 : for the cities H5892 thereof shall be H1961 desolate H8047 , without any H4480 H369 to dwell H3427 therein H2004 .
|
|
10. Cursed is he who does the work of Jehovah deceitfully, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
|
10. Cursed H779 be he that doeth H6213 the work H4399 of the LORD H3068 deceitfully H7423 , and cursed H779 be he that keepeth back H4513 his sword H2719 from blood H4480 H1818 .

Moab H4124 hath been at ease H7599 from his youth H4480 H5271 , and he H1931 hath settled H8252 on H413 his lees H8105 , and hath not H3808 been emptied H7324 from vessel H4480 H3627 to H413 vessel H3627 , neither H3808 hath he gone H1980 into captivity H1473 : therefore H5921 H3651 his taste H2940 remained H5975 in him , and his scent H7381 is not H3808 changed H4171 .
|
|
12. So, behold, the days come, declares Jehovah, that I will send pourers to him, who shall pour him off, and shall empty his vessels, and break their jars in pieces.
|
12. Therefore H3651 , behold H2009 , the days H3117 come H935 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , that I will send H7971 unto him wanderers H6808 , that shall cause him to wander H6808 , and shall empty H7324 his vessels H3627 , and break H5310 their bottles H5035 .

|
13. And Moab H4124 shall be ashamed H954 of Chemosh H4480 H3645 , as H834 the house H1004 of Israel H3478 was ashamed H954 of Bethel H4480 H1008 their confidence H4009 .
|
|
14. How do you say, We are mighty and strong men for war?
|
14. How H349 say H559 ye, We H587 are mighty H1368 and strong H2428 men H376 for the war H4421 ?

16. The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his evil hurries fast.
|
16. The calamity H343 of Moab H4124 is near H7138 to come H935 , and his affliction H7451 hasteth H4116 fast H3966 .

17. All who are around him mourn for him. And all who know his name, say, How the strong staff is broken, the beautiful rod!
|
17. All H3605 ye that are about H5439 him, bemoan H5110 him ; and all H3605 ye that know H3045 his name H8034 , say H559 , How H349 is the strong H5797 staff H4294 broken H7665 , and the beautiful H8597 rod H4731 !

18. Thou daughter H1323 that dost inhabit H3427 Dibon H1769 , come down H3381 from thy glory H4480 H3519 , and sit H3427 in thirst H6772 ; for H3588 the spoiler H7703 of Moab H4124 shall come H5927 upon thee, and he shall destroy H7843 thy strongholds H4013 .

|
|
22. and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth-diblathaim,

|
26. Make ye him drunken H7937 : for H3588 he magnified H1431 himself against H5921 the LORD H3068 : Moab H4124 also shall wallow H5606 in his vomit H6892 , and he H1931 also H1571 shall be H1961 in derision H7814 .
|
|
27. For was not Israel a mockery to you? Was he found among thieves? For ever since you spoke of him, you lamented.
|
27. For H518 was H1961 not H3808 Israel H3478 a derision H7814 unto thee? was he found H4672 among thieves H1590 ? for H3588 since H4480 H1767 thou spakest H1697 of him , thou skippedst for joy H5110 .
|
|
28. Dwellers of Moab, leave the cities, and live in the rock, and be like the dove who makes her nest in the sides of the mouth of the pit.
|
28. O ye that dwell H3427 in Moab H4124 , leave H5800 the cities H5892 , and dwell H7931 in the rock H5553 , and be H1961 like the dove H3123 that maketh her nest H7077 in the sides H5676 of the hole H6354 's mouth H6310 .

|
|
30. I have known, declares Jehovah, his wrath, and it is not so; his lie, they have not done so.
|
30. I H589 know H3045 his wrath H5678 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 ; but it shall not H3808 be so H3651 ; his lies H907 shall not H3808 so H3651 effect H6213 it .
|
|
31. On account of this I will wail for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab, and he shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.

32. O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for you more than the weeping of Jazer. Your plants have crossed the sea; they reach to the sea of Jazer. A ravager has fallen on your harvest, and on your grape crop.
|
32. O vine H1612 of Sibmah H7643 , I will weep H1058 for thee with the weeping H4480 H1065 of Jazer H3270 : thy plants H5189 are gone over H5674 the sea H3220 , they reach H5060 even to H5704 the sea H3220 of Jazer H3270 : the spoiler H7703 is fallen H5307 upon H5921 thy summer fruits H7019 and upon H5921 thy vintage H1210 .
|
|
33. And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab. And I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses. None shall tread the grapes with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.
|
33. And joy H8057 and gladness H1524 is taken H622 from the plentiful field H4480 H3759 , and from the land H4480 H776 of Moab H4124 ; and I have caused wine H3196 to fail H7673 from the winepresses H4480 H3342 : none H3808 shall tread H1869 with shouting H1959 ; their shouting H1959 shall be no H3808 shouting H1959 .
|
|
34. From the city of Heshbon to Elealeh, to Jahaz, they have given their voice, from Zoar to Horonaim, like a heifer three years old. For the waters of Nimrim also shall be desolate.
|
34. From the cry H4480 H2201 of Heshbon H2809 even unto H5704 Elealeh H500 , and even unto H5704 Jahaz H3096 , have they uttered H5414 their voice H6963 , from Zoar H4480 H6820 even unto H5704 Horonaim H2773 , as a heifer H5697 of three years old H7992 : for H3588 the waters H4325 also H1571 of Nimrim H5249 shall be H1961 desolate H4923 .
|
|
35. Also I will cause him who offers in the high places to cease in Moab, says Jehovah, and he who burns incense to his gods.
|
35. Moreover I will cause to cease H7673 in Moab H4124 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , him that offereth H5927 in the high places H1116 , and him that burneth incense H6999 to his gods H430 .
|
|
36. On account of this my heart shall mourn for Moab, like flutes; and my heart shall sound like flutes for the men of Kirheres, because the riches that he has gotten have perished.
|
36. Therefore H5921 H3651 mine heart H3820 shall sound H1993 for Moab H4124 like pipes H2485 , and mine heart H3820 shall sound H1993 like pipes H2485 for H413 the men H376 of Kir H7025 -heres: because H5921 H3651 the riches H3502 that he hath gotten H6213 are perished H6 .
|
|
37. For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped. On all the hands shall be cuttings, and sackcloth on the loins.
|
37. For H3588 every H3605 head H7218 shall be bald H7144 , and every H3605 beard H2206 clipped H1639 : upon H5921 all H3605 the hands H3027 shall be cuttings H1418 , and upon H5921 the loins H4975 sackcloth H8242 .
|
|
38. On all Moab's housetops, and in its streets, is wailing for all. For I have broken Moab like a vessel; no pleasure is in it, says Jehovah.
|
38. There shall be lamentation H4553 generally H3605 upon H5921 all H3605 the housetops H1406 of Moab H4124 , and in the streets H7339 thereof: for H3588 I have broken H7665 H853 Moab H4124 like a vessel H3627 wherein is no H369 pleasure H2656 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
39. They shall howl, saying, How it is broken down! How has Moab turned his back in shame! So Moab shall be a mockery, and a terror to all those around him.
|
39. They shall howl H3213 , saying , How H349 is it broken down H2865 ! how H349 hath Moab H4124 turned H6437 the back H6203 with shame H954 ! so shall Moab H4124 be H1961 a derision H7814 and a dismaying H4288 to all H3605 them about H5439 him.
|
|
40. For so says Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly like an eagle, and shall spread his wings toward Moab.
|
40. For H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 ; Behold H2009 , he shall fly H1675 as an eagle H5404 , and shall spread H6566 his wings H3671 over H413 Moab H4124 .
|
|
41. Kerioth is captured, and the strongholds are seized. And the mighty men's hearts in Moab shall be at that day like the heart of a woman being distressed.
|
41. Kerioth H7152 is taken H3920 , and the strongholds H4679 are surprised H8610 , and the mighty men H1368 's hearts H3820 in Moab H4124 at that H1931 day H3117 shall be H1961 as the heart H3820 of a woman H802 in her pangs H6887 .
|
|
42. And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Jehovah.
|
42. And Moab H4124 shall be destroyed H8045 from being a people H4480 H5971 , because H3588 he hath magnified H1431 himself against H5921 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
43. Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be on you, O one living in Moab, declares Jehovah.
|
43. Fear H6343 , and the pit H6354 , and the snare H6341 , shall be upon H5921 thee , O inhabitant H3427 of Moab H4124 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
44. He who flees from the dread shall fall into the pit. And he who goes up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare. For I will bring it on Moab, the year of their punishment, declares Jehovah.
|
44. He that fleeth H5211 from H4480 H6440 the fear H6343 shall fall H5307 into H413 the pit H6354 ; and he that getteth up H5927 out of H4480 the pit H6354 shall be taken H3920 in the snare H6341 : for H3588 I will bring H935 upon H413 it, even upon H413 Moab H4124 , the year H8141 of their visitation H6486 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
45. Those who fled stood powerless in the shadow of Heshbon, for a fire shall come out of Heshbon, and a flame out of the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the sons of tumult.
|
45. They that fled H5127 stood H5975 under the shadow H6738 of Heshbon H2809 because of the force H4480 H3581 : but H3588 a fire H784 shall come forth H3318 out of Heshbon H4480 H2809 , and a flame H3852 from the midst H4480 H996 of Sihon H5511 , and shall devour H398 the corner H6285 of Moab H4124 , and the crown of the head H6936 of the tumultuous H7588 ones H1121 .
|
|
46. Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished. For your sons are taken away into exile, and your daughters into exile.
|
46. Woe H188 be unto thee , O Moab H4124 ! the people H5971 of Chemosh H3645 perisheth H6 : for H3588 thy sons H1121 are taken H3947 captives H7628 , and thy daughters H1323 captives H7633 .
|
|
47. But I will restore the prisoners of Moab in the end of the days, declares Jehovah. So far is the judgment of Moab.
|
47. Yet will I bring again H7725 the captivity H7622 of Moab H4124 in the latter H319 days H3117 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 . Thus H2008 far H5704 is the judgment H4941 of Moab H4124 .
