24:048:002 There shall be no more praise of Moab:
in Heshbon they have
devised
evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from
being
a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen;
the
sword
shall pursue thee.
24:048:003 A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim,
spoiling and great
destruction.
24:048:004 Moab is destroyed; her little ones have
caused a cry to be
heard.
24:048:005 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.
24:048:006 Flee, save your lives, and be like the
heath in the
wilderness.
24:048:007 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.
24:048:008 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.
24:048:009 Give wings unto Moab, that it may flee
and get away: for the
cities
thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell
therein.
24:048:010 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the
lord deceitfully, and
cursed
be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
24:048:011 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.
24:048:012 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith
the lord, that I will
send
unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander,
and
shall
empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
24:048:013 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as
the house of Israel
was
ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
24:048:014 How say ye, We are mighty and strong men for the war?
24:048:015 Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her
cities, and his chosen
young
men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King,
whose
name is the lord of hosts.
24:048:016 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and
his affliction
hasteth
fast.
24:048:017 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!
24:048:018 Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon,
come down from thy
glory,
and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come
upon
thee, and he shall destroy thy strong holds.
