Prophecy against Moab

1

Concerning  aMoabh4124. Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635, the Godh430 of Israelh3478, "Woeh1945 to  bNeboh5015a, for it has been destroyedh7703;  cKiriathaimh7156 has beenh954 puth954 to shameh954, it has been capturedh3920; The loftyh4869 strongholdh4869 has beenh954 puth954 to shameh954 and  1shatteredh2865.

2

"Thereh369 is praiseh8416 for Moabh4124 noh369 longerh5750; In  aHeshbonh2809 they have devisedh2803 calamityh7463a againsth5921 her: `Comeh1980 and let us cuth3772 her offh3772 from being a nationh1471!' You tooh1571,  1Madmenh4086, will be silencedh1826a; The swordh2719 will followh310h1980 afterh310 you.

3

"The soundh6963 of an outcryh6818 from  aHoronaimh2773, `Devastationh7701 and greath1419 destructionh7667!'

4

"Moabh4124 is brokenh7665, Her littleh6810 onesh6810 have soundedh8085 out a cryh2201 of distress.

5

"For by the ascenth4608 of  aLuhithh3872 They will ascendh5927 with continualh1065 weepingh1065; For at the descenth4174 of Horonaimh2773 They have heardh8085 the  1anguishedh6862b cryh6818 of destructionh7667.

6

aFleeh5127, saveh4422 your livesh5315, That you may be like a juniperh6176 in the wildernessh4057b.

7

"For becauseh3282 of your  atrusth982 in your own achievementsh4639 and treasuresh214, Evenh1571 you yourselfh855b will be capturedh3920; And  bChemoshh3645 will goh3318 offh3318 into exileh1473 Togetherh3164a with his priestsh3548 and his princesh8269.

8

"A destroyerh7703 will comeh935 to everyh3605 cityh5892b, So that noh3808 cityh5892b will escapeh4422; The valleyh6010 also will be ruinedh6 And the  aplateauh4334 will be destroyedh8045, As the LORDh3068 has saidh559.

9

"Giveh5414  1 awingsh6731a to Moabh4124, For she will  2fleeh3318 awayh3318; And her citiesh5892b will becomeh1961 a  bdesolationh8047, Withouth369 inhabitantsh3427 in them.

10

aCursedh779 be the one who doesh6213a the LORD'Sh3068 workh4399  bnegligentlyh7423b, And cursedh779 be the one who restrainsh4513 his  cswordh2719 from bloodh1818.

11

"Moabh4124 has beenh7599  aat easeh7599 sinceh4480 his youthh5271; He has also beenh8252  bundisturbedh8252, like wine on  1its dregsh8105, And he has not been  cemptiedh7385a from vesselh3627 to vesselh3627, Norh3808 has he goneh1980 into exileh1473. Thereforeh5921h3651  2he retainsh5975 his flavorh2940, And his aromah7381b has not changedh4171.

12

"Thereforeh3651 beholdh2009, the daysh3117 are comingh935," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "when I will sendh7971 to him those who tiph6808 vessels, and they will tiph6808 him overh6808, and they will emptyh7385a his vesselsh3627 and shatterh5310a  1his jarsh5035a.

13

"And Moabh4124 will be  aashamedh954 of  bChemoshh3645, as the househ1004 of Israelh3478 was ashamedh954 of  cBethelh1008, their confidenceh4009.

14

"Howh349 can you sayh559, `We are  amightyh1368 warriorsh1368, And menh376 valianth2428 for battleh4421'?

15

"Moabh4124 has been destroyedh7703 and  1men have goneh5927 up to  2his citiesh5892b; His choicesth4005  3 ayoungh970 menh970 have also goneh3381 downh3381 to the slaughterh2874," Declaresh5002 the  bKingh4428, whose nameh8034 is the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.

16

"The disasterh343 of Moabh4124 will  asoonh7138 comeh935, And his calamityh7463a has swiftlyh3966 hastenedh4116.

17

"Mournh5110 for him, allh3605 you who live aroundh5439 him, Even allh3605 of you who knowh3045 his nameh8034; Sayh559, `Howh351a has the mightyh5797  1 ascepterh4294 been brokenh7665, A staffh4731 of splendorh8597!'

18

aComeh3381 downh3381 from your gloryh3519b And sith3427  1on the parchedh6772 groundh6772, O  bdaughterh1323 dwellingh3427 in  cDibonh1769, For the destroyerh7703 of Moabh4124 has comeh5927 up against you, He has ruinedh7843 your strongholdsh4013.

19

"Standh5975 by the roadh1870 and keeph6822 watchh6822, O inhabitanth3427 of  aAroerh6177;  bAskh7592 him who fleesh5127 and her who escapesh4422 And sayh559, `Whath4100 has happenedh1961?'

20

"Moabh4124 has beenh954 puth954 to shameh954, for it has beenh2865  1shatteredh2865. Wailh3213 and cryh2199 out; Declareh5046 by the  aArnonh769 That Moabh4124 has been destroyedh7703.

21

"Judgmenth4941 has also comeh935 upon the plainh4334, upon Holonh2473,  aJahzahh3096 and againsth5921  bMephaathh4158,

22

againsth5921 Dibonh1769, Neboh5015a and Beth-diblathaimh1015,

23

againsth5921 Kiriathaimh7156, Beth-gamulh1014 and  aBeth-meonh1010,

24

againsth5921  aKeriothh7152, Bozrahh1224a and allh3605 the citiesh5892b of the landh776 of Moabh4124, farh7350 and nearh7138.

25

"The  ahornh7161 of Moabh4124 has been cuth1438 offh1438 and his  barmh2220 brokenh7665," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

26

aMakeh7937 him drunkh7937, for he has  1becomeh1431  barroganth1431 towardh5921 the LORDh3068; so Moabh4124 will  2wallowh5606 in his vomith7006b, and he alsoh1571 will becomeh1961 a laughingstockh7814.

27

"Now was not Israelh3478 a  alaughingstockh7814 to you? Orh518 was he  1 bcaughth4672 among thievesh1590? For eachh1767 timeh1767 you speakh1697 about him you  cshakeh5110 your head in scorn.

28

"Leaveh5800a the citiesh5892b and dwellh7931 among the  acragsh5553, O inhabitantsh3427 of Moabh4124, And be like a  bdoveh3123 that nestsh7077 Beyondh5676 the mouthh6310 of the chasmh6354.

29

aWe have heardh8085 of the prideh1347b of Moabh4124--he is veryh3966 proudh1343-- Of his haughtinessh7312, his  bprideh1347b, his arroganceh1346 and  1his self-exaltationh3820h7312.

30

"I knowh3045 his  afuryh5678," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "But it is futileh3808h3653a; His idleh907 boastsh907 have accomplishedh6213a nothingh3808.

31

"Thereforeh5921h3651 I will  awailh3213 for Moabh4124, Even for allh3605 Moabh4124 will I cryh2199 out;  1I will moanh1897 for the menh376 of  bKir-heresh7025.

32

"Moreh4480 thanh4480 the  aweepingh1065 for  bJazerh3270 I will weeph1058 for you, O vineh1612 of Sibmahh7643! Your tendrilsh5189 stretchedh5674a acrossh5674a the seah3220, They reachedh5060 to the seah3220 of Jazerh3270; Upon your summerh7019c fruitsh7019c and your grapeh1210 harvesth1210 The destroyerh7703 has fallenh5307.

33

"So  agladnessh8057 and joyh1524a are takenh622 awayh622 From the fruitfulh3759 fieldh3759, even from the landh776 of Moabh4124. And I have made the wineh3196 to  bceaseh7673a from the wineh3342 pressesh3342; Noh3808 one will treadh1869 them with shoutingh1959, The shoutingh1959 will not be shoutsh1959 of joy.

34

aFrom the outcryh2201 at Heshbonh2809 even to  bElealehh500, even to Jahazh3096 they have  1raisedh5414 their voiceh6963, from  cZoarh6820 even to Horonaimh2773 and to Eglath-shelishiyahh5700bh7992; for evenh1571 the watersh4325 of Nimrimh5249 will becomeh1961 desolateh4923.

35

"I will makeh7673a an endh7673a of Moabh4124," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068, "the one who offersh5927 sacrifice on the  ahighh1116 placeh1116 and the one who  1 bburnsh6999 incenseh6999 to his godsh430.

36

"Thereforeh5921h3651 My  ahearth3820  1wailsh1993 for Moabh4124 like flutesh2485; My hearth3820 also  1wailsh1993 like flutesh2485 for the menh376 of Kir-heresh7025. Thereforeh5921h3651 they have  blosth6 the abundanceh3502 it producedh6213a.

37

"For  aeveryh3605 headh7218 is baldh7144 and everyh3605 beardh2206 cuth1639 shorth1639; there are gashesh1417 on allh3605 the handsh3027 and  bsackclothh8242 on the loinsh4975.

38

"On allh3605 the  ahousetopsh1406 of Moabh4124 and in its streetsh7339  1thereh3605 is lamentationh4553 everywhereh3605; for I have brokenh7665 Moabh4124 like an undesirableh369h2656  bvesselh3627," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

39

"Howh349  1shatteredh2865 it is! How they have wailedh3213! Howh349 Moabh4124 has turnedh6437 his backh6203--he is ashamedh954! So Moabh4124 will becomeh1961 a laughingstockh7814 and an  aobjecth4288 of terrorh4288 to allh3605 aroundh5439 him."

40

For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068: "Beholdh2009, one will  aflyh1675 swiftlyh1675 like an eagleh5404 And  bspreadh6566 out his wingsh3671 againsth413 Moabh4124.

41

"Keriothh7152 has been capturedh3920 And the strongholdsh4679 have been seizedh8610, So the  aheartsh3820 of the mightyh1368 menh1368 of Moabh4124 in that dayh3117 Will be like the hearth3820 of a  bwomanh802 in laborh6887b.

42

"Moabh4124 will be  adestroyedh8045 from being a peopleh5971a Becauseh3588 he has  1becomeh1431  barroganth1431 towardh5921 the LORDh3068.

43

aTerrorh6343, pith6354 and snareh6341a are coming upon you, O inhabitanth3427 of Moabh4124," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

44

"The one who  afleesh5127 from the terrorh6343 Will fallh5307 into the pith6354, And the one who climbsh5927 up out of the pith6354 Will be caughth3920 in the snareh6341a; For I shall bringh935 upon her, even upon Moabh4124, The yearh8141 of their  bpunishmenth6486," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

45

"In the shadowh6738 of Heshbonh2809 The fugitivesh5127 standh5975 withouth4480 strengthh3581b; For a fireh784 has goneh3318 forthh3318 from Heshbonh2809 And a  aflameh3852 from the midsth996 of  bSihonh5511, And it has devouredh398 the  cforeheadh6285 of Moabh4124 And the scalpsh6936 of the  1riotoush7588 revelersh1121h7588.

46

aWoeh188 to you, Moabh4124! The peopleh5971a of  bChemoshh3645 have perishedh6; For your sonsh1121 have been takenh3947 away captiveh7628b And your daughtersh1323 into captivityh7633.

47

"Yet I will  arestoreh7725 the  1fortunesh7622 of Moabh4124 In the  2latterh319 daysh3117," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068.

Thush2008 farh5704 the judgmenth4941 on Moabh4124.
