24:048:037 For every head shall be bald, and every
beard clipped: upon
all
the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
24:048:038 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.
24:048:039 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.
24:048:040 For thus saith the lord; Behold, he
shall fly as an eagle, and
shall
spread his wings over Moab.
24:048:041 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.
24:048:042 And Moab shall be destroyed from being
a people, because he
hath
magnified himself against the lord.
24:048:043 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall
be upon thee, O
inhabitant
of Moab, saith the lord.
24:048:044 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.
24:048:045 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.
24:048:046 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! the people of
Chemosh perisheth: for
thy
sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
24:048:047 Yet will I bring again the captivity of
Moab in the latter
days,
saith the lord. Thus far is the judgment
of Moab.
24:049:001 Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the
lord; Hath Israel no
sons?
hath he no heir? why then doth their king inherit Gad,
and
his people dwell in his cities?
24:049:002 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith
the lord, that I will
cause
an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites;
and
it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall
be
burned
with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them
that
were
his heirs, saith the lord.
24:049:003 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled:
cry, ye daughters of
Rabbah,
gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro
by
the
hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and
his
priests
and his princes together.
