  ⁸“‘The Lord GOD says: “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Behold, the house of Judah is like all the nations,’

  ⁹therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on its frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kiriathaim,

  ¹⁰to the children of the east, to go against the children of Ammon; and I will give them for a possession, that the children of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.

  ¹¹I will execute judgments on Moab. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”

  ¹Of Moab. The LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo! For it is laid waste. Kiriathaim is disappointed. It is taken. Misgab is put to shame and broken down.

  ²The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her: ‘Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.

  ³The sound of a cry from Horonaim, desolation and great destruction!

  ⁴Moab is destroyed. Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

  ⁵For they will go up by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping. For at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.

  ¹⁸“You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you. He has destroyed your strongholds.

  ¹⁹Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way and watch. Ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, ‘What has been done?’

  ²⁰Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.

  ²¹Judgment has come on the plain country— on Holon, on Jahzah, on Mephaath,

  ²²on Dibon, on Nebo, on Beth Diblathaim,

  ²³on Kiriathaim, on Beth Gamul, on Beth Meon,

  ²⁴on Kerioth, on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
