4 It will be broken Moab they will make heard a cry of distress (servants its. *Q(K)*)

5 For [the] ascent of (Luhith *Q(K)*) with weeping someone will ascend weeping for on [the] descent of Horonaim [the] distresses of [the] crys of destruction people will hear.

6 Flee save life your so they may be like a juniper bush in the wilderness.

7 For because trusting you in deeds your and in treasures your also you you will be captured and he will go out (Chemosh *Q(k)*) in exile priests his and officials his (together. *Q(k)*)

8 So he may come a destroyer to every city and a city not it will escape and it will be destroyed the valley and it will be destroyed the plain which he has spoken Yahweh.

9 Give salt to Moab for [surely] flying it will go out and cities its a waste they will become from not inhabitant in them.

10 [is] cursed [one who] does [the] work of Yahweh slackness and [is] cursed [one who] withholds sword his from blood.

11 It has been at ease Moab since youth its and [has been] undisturbed it to lees its and not it has been poured from vessel to vessel and in exile not it has gone there-fore it has remained taste its in it and aroma its not it has been changed.

12 Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will send to it [those who] tip and they will tip it and vessels its they will empty out and jars their they will smash.

13 And it will be ashamed Moab from Chemosh just as they were ashamed [the] house of Israel from Beth-el trust their.

14 How? will you say [are] warriors we and men of strength for battle.

15 It will be devastated Moab and cities its he will go up and [the] choicest of young men its they will go down to the slaughter [the] utterance of the king [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.

16 [is] near [the] disaster of Moab to coming and calamity its it will hasten exceedingly.

17 Show sympathy to it O all around it and O all [those who] know name its say how! it is broken a staff of strength a staff of splendor.

18 Come down from honor (and sit *Q(K)*) in thirst O inhabitant[s] of [the] daughter of Dibon for [the] destroyer of Moab he will come up on you he will ruin strongholds your.

19 To [the] road stand and watch O inhabitant[s] of Aroer ask [a man who] flees and [a woman who] escapes say what? has it happened.

20 It has been put to shame Moab for it has been shattered (wail and cry out *Q(K)*) declare at [the] Arnon that it has been devastated Moab.

21 And judgment it will come to [the] land of the plain to Holon and to Jahaz and on (Mephaath. *Q(K)*)

22 And on Dibon and on Nebo and on Beth Diblathaim.

23 And on Kiriathaim and on Beth Gamul and on Beth Meon.

24 And on Kerioth and on Bozrah and on all [the] cities of [the] land of Moab far and near.

25 It will be cut off [the] horn of Moab and arm its it will be broken [the] utterance of Yahweh.

26 Make drunk it for on Yahweh it has magnified itself and it will splash Moab in vomit its and it will become a laughing stock also it.

27 And? - not the laughing stock was it to you Israel or? among thieves (was it found *Q(K)*) for as often as words your in it you shook yourself.

28 Abandon cities and dwell among the rock[s] O inhabitants of Moab and be like a dove [which] it makes a nest on [the] sides of [the] mouth of a ravine.

29 We have heard [the] pride of Moab proud very haughtiness its and pride its and boastfulness its and [the] loftiness of heart its.

30 I I know [the] utterance of Yahweh arrogance its and [it is] not right empty boasts its not right they have accomplished.

31 There-fore on Moab I will wail and for Moab all of it I will cry out concerning [the] people of Kir Heres he will groan.

32 More than [the] weeping of Jazer I will weep for you O vine of Sibmah tendrils your they passed over [the] sea to [the] sea of Jazer they reached on summer fruit your and on grape harvest your a destroyer he has fallen.

33 And it has been removed joy and rejoicing from [the] garden-land and from [the] land of Moab and wine from wine-presses I have made to cease not anyone will tread shouting shouting not shouting.

34 From [the] cry of distress of Heshbon to Elealeh to Jahaz people will give voice their from Zoar to Horonaim Eglath Shelishiyah for also [the] waters of Nimrim wastes they will become.

35 And I will put an end to of Moab [the] utterance of Yahweh [one who] offers up a high place and [one who] makes smoke to gods his.

36 There-fore heart my for Moab like flutes it will groan and heart my concerning [the] people of Kir Heres like flutes it will groan there-fore [the] wealth [which] he acquired they will be lost.

37 For every head [will be] baldness and every beard [will be] clipped [will be] on all hands cuts and [will be] on loins sackcloth.

38 [will be] on All [the] roofs of Moab and in open places its all of it wailing for I will break Moab like a vessel [which] there not [is] pleasure in it [the] utterance of Yahweh.

39 How! it has been shattered they will wail how! it has turned a neck Moab it will be ashamed and it will become Moab a laughing stock and an object of terror to all around it.

40 For thus he says Yahweh there! like eagle someone will swoop down and he will spread out wings his against Moab.

41 It will be captured Kerioth and the strongholds it will be seized and it will be [the] heart of [the] warriors of Moab on the day that like [the] heart of a woman in labor.

42 And it will be destroyed Moab from a people for on Yahweh it has magnified itself.

43 Terror and pit and snare [will be] on you O inhabitant of Moab [the] utterance of Yahweh.

44 (The [one who] flees *Q(K)*) from before the terror he will fall into the pit and the [one who] climbs up from the pit he will be caught in snare for I will bring to it to Moab [the] year of punishment their [the] utterance of Yahweh.

45 In [the] shadow of Heshbon they will stand from strength [those who] flee for a fire it will go forth from Heshbon and a flame from between Sihon and it consumed [the] forehead of Moab and [the] scalp of [the] sons of uproar.

46 Woe! to you O Moab it will perish [the] people of Chemosh for they will be taken sons your in captivity and daughters your in captivity.

47 And I will turn back [the] captivity of Moab at [the] end of the days [the] utterance of Yahweh [is] to here [the] judgment of Moab.
