The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and prophesyH5012 against them;
And sayH559 unto the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LordH136 GODH3069; Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou saidstH559, AhaH1889, against my sanctuaryH4720, when it was profanedH2490; and against the landH127 of IsraelH3478, when it was desolateH8074; and against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, when they wentH1980 into captivityH1473;
Behold, therefore I will deliverH5414 thee to the menH1121 of the eastH6924 for a possessionH4181, and they shall setH3427 their palacesH2918 in thee, and makeH5414 their dwellingsH4908 in thee: they shall eatH398 thy fruitH6529, and they shall drinkH8354 thy milkH2461. {men: Heb. children}
And I will makeH5414 RabbahH7237 a stableH5116 for camelsH1581, and the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 a couchingplaceH4769 for flocksH6629: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because thou hast clappedH4222 thine handsH3027, and stampedH7554 with the feetH7272, and rejoicedH8055 in heartH5315 with all thy despiteH7589 against the landH127 of IsraelH3478; {hands: Heb. hand} {feet: Heb. foot} {heart: Heb. soul}
Behold, therefore I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon thee, and will deliverH5414 thee for a spoilH957+H897 to the heathenH1471; and I will cut thee offH3772 from the peopleH5971, and I will cause thee to perishH6 out of the countriesH776: I will destroyH8045 thee; and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068. {a spoil: or, meat}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; BecauseH3282 that MoabH4124 and SeirH8165 do sayH559, Behold, the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 is like unto all the heathenH1471;
Therefore, behold, I will openH6605 the sideH3802 of MoabH4124 from the citiesH5892, from his citiesH5892 which are on his frontiersH7097, the gloryH6643 of the countryH776, BethjeshimothH1020, BaalmeonH1186, and KiriathaimH7156, {side…: Heb. shoulder of Moab}
Unto the menH1121 of the eastH6924 with the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and will giveH5414 them in possessionH4181, that the AmmonitesH1121+H5983 may not be rememberedH2142 among the nationsH1471. {with…: or, against the children of Ammon}
And I will executeH6213 judgmentsH8201 upon MoabH4124; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because that EdomH123 hath dealtH6213 against the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 by takingH5358 vengeanceH5359, and hath greatlyH816 offendedH816, and revengedH5358 himself upon them; {by…: Heb. by revenging revengement}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will also stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon EdomH123, and will cut offH3772 manH120 and beastH929 from it; and I will makeH5414 it desolateH2723 from TemanH8487; and they of DedanH1719 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719. {they…: or, they shall fall by the sword unto Dedan}
And I will layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon EdomH123 by the handH3027 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: and they shall doH6213 in EdomH123 according to mine angerH639 and according to my furyH2534; and they shall knowH3045 my vengeanceH5360, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Because the PhilistinesH6430 have dealtH6213 by revengeH5360, and have takenH5358 vengeanceH5359 with a despitefulH7589 heartH5315, to destroyH4889 it for the oldH5769 hatredH342; {for the…: or, with perpetual hatred}
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 upon the PhilistinesH6430, and I will cut offH3772 the CherethimsH3774, and destroyH6 the remnantH7611 of the seaH3220 coastH2348. {sea coast: or, haven of the sea}
And I will executeH6213 greatH1419 vengeanceH5360 upon them with furiousH2534 rebukesH8433; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, when I shall layH5414 my vengeanceH5360 upon them. {great vengeance: Heb. great vengeances}

Is not CalnoH3641 as CarchemishH3751? is not HamathH2574 as ArpadH774? is not SamariaH8111 as DamascusH1834?
As my handH3027 hath foundH4672 the kingdomsH4467 of the idolsH457, and whose graven imagesH6456 did excel them of JerusalemH3389 and of SamariaH8111;
Shall I not, as I have doneH6213 unto SamariaH8111 and her idolsH457, so doH6213 to JerusalemH3389 and her idolsH6091?
They have saidH559, ComeH3212, and let us cut them offH3582 from being a nationH1471; that the nameH8034 of IsraelH3478 may be no more in remembranceH2142.
For they have consultedH3289 togetherH3162 with one consentH3820: they areH3772 confederateH1285 against thee: {consent: Heb. heart}
The tabernaclesH168 of EdomH123, and the IshmaelitesH3459; of MoabH4124, and the HagarenesH1905;
GebalH1381, and AmmonH5983, and AmalekH6002; the PhilistinesH6429 with the inhabitantsH3427 of TyreH6865;

Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, setH7760 thy faceH6440 against mountH2022 SeirH8165, and prophesyH5012 against it,
And sayH559 unto it, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, O mountH2022 SeirH8165, I am against thee, and I will stretch outH5186 mine handH3027 against thee, and I will makeH5414 thee mostH4923 desolateH8077. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
I will layH7760 thy citiesH5892 wasteH2723, and thou shalt be desolateH8077, and thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Because thou hast had a perpetualH5769 hatredH342, and hast shedH5064 the blood of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 by the forceH3027 of the swordH2719 in the timeH6256 of their calamityH343, in the timeH6256 that their iniquityH5771 had an endH7093: {perpetual…: or, hatred of old} {shed…: Heb. poured out the children} {force: Heb. hands}
Therefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will prepareH6213 thee unto bloodH1818, and bloodH1818 shall pursueH7291 thee: sithH518 thou hast not hatedH8130 bloodH1818, even bloodH1818 shall pursueH7291 thee.
Thus will I makeH5414 mountH2022 SeirH8165 mostH8077 desolateH8077, and cut offH3772 from it him that passeth outH5674 and him that returnethH7725. {most…: Heb. desolation and desolation}
And I will fillH4390 his mountainsH2022 with his slainH2491 men: in thy hillsH1389, and in thy valleysH1516, and in all thy riversH650, shall they fallH5307 that are slainH2491 with the swordH2719.
I will makeH5414 thee perpetualH5769 desolationsH8077, and thy citiesH5892 shall not returnH7725+H3427: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Because thou hast saidH559, These twoH8147 nationsH1471 and these twoH8147 countriesH776 shall be mine, and we will possessH3423 it; whereas the LORDH3068 was there: {whereas…: or, though the LORD was there}
Therefore, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, I will even doH6213 according to thine angerH639, and according to thine envyH7068 which thou hast usedH6213 out of thy hatredH8135 against them; and I will make myself knownH3045 among them, when I have judgedH8199 thee.
And thou shalt knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068, and that I have heardH8085 all thy blasphemiesH5007 which thou hast spokenH559 against the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, They are laid desolateH8074+H8077, they are givenH5414 us to consumeH402. {to consume: Heb. to devour}
Thus with your mouthH6310 ye have boastedH1431 against me, and have multipliedH6280 your wordsH1697 against me: I have heardH8085 them. {boasted: Heb. magnified}
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When the whole earthH776 rejoicethH8055, I will makeH6213 thee desolateH8077.
As thou didst rejoiceH8057 at the inheritanceH5159 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, because it was desolateH8074, so will I doH6213 unto thee: thou shalt be desolateH8077, O mountH2022 SeirH8165, and all IdumeaH123, even all of it: and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Beware lest HezekiahH2396 persuadeH5496 you, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will deliverH5337 us. Hath anyH376 of the godsH430 of the nationsH1471 deliveredH5337 his landH776 out of the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804?
Where are the godsH430 of HamathH2574 and ArphadH774? where are the godsH430 of SepharvaimH5617? and have they deliveredH5337 SamariaH8111 out of my handH3027?
Who are they among all the godsH430 of these landsH776, that have deliveredH5337 their landH776 out of my handH3027, that the LORDH3068 should deliverH5337 JerusalemH3389 out of my handH3027?
The burdenH4853 of MoabH4124. Because in the nightH3915 ArH6144 of MoabH4124 is laid wasteH7703, and brought to silenceH1820; because in the nightH3915 KirH7024 of MoabH4124 is laid wasteH7703, and brought to silenceH1820; {brought…: or, cut off}
He is gone upH5927 to BajithH1006, and to DibonH1769, the high placesH1116, to weepH1065: MoabH4124 shall howlH3213 over NeboH5015, and over MedebaH4311: on all their headsH7218 shall be baldnessH7144, and every beardH2206 cut offH1438.
In their streetsH2351 they shall girdH2296 themselves with sackclothH8242: on the topsH1406 of their houses, and in their streetsH7339, every one shall howlH3213, weepingH1065 abundantlyH3381. {weeping…: Heb. descending into weeping, or, coming down with weeping}
And HeshbonH2809 shall cryH2199, and ElealehH500: their voiceH6963 shall be heardH8085 even unto JahazH3096: therefore the armed soldiersH2502 of MoabH4124 shall cry outH7321; his lifeH5315 shall be grievousH3415 unto him.
My heartH3820 shall cry outH2199 for MoabH4124; his fugitivesH1280 shall flee unto ZoarH6820, an heiferH5697 of three years oldH7992: for by the mounting upH4608 of LuhithH3872 with weepingH1065 shall they go it upH5927; for in the wayH1870 of HoronaimH2773 they shall raise upH5782 a cryH2201 of destructionH7667. {his…: or, to the borders thereof, even to Zoar, as an heifer} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
For the watersH4325 of NimrimH5249 shall be desolateH4923: for the hayH2682 is withered awayH3001, the grassH1877 failethH3615, there is no green thingH3418. {desolate: Heb. desolations}
Therefore the abundanceH3502 they have gottenH6213, and that which they have laid upH6486, shall they carry awayH5375 to the brookH5158 of the willowsH6155. {brook…: or, valley of the Arabians}
For the cryH2201 is gone round aboutH5362 the bordersH1366 of MoabH4124; the howlingH3215 thereof unto EglaimH97, and the howlingH3215 thereof unto BeerelimH879.
For the watersH4325 of DimonH1775 shall be fullH4390 of bloodH1818: for I will bringH7896 moreH3254 upon DimonH1775, lionsH738 upon him that escapethH6413 of MoabH4124, and upon the remnantH7611 of the landH127. {more: Heb. additions}
MeddleH1624 not with them; for I will not giveH5414 you of their landH776, no, not so much as a footH7272 breadthH4096+H3709; because I have givenH5414 mountH2022 SeirH8165 unto EsauH6215 for a possessionH3425. {no…: Heb. even to the treading of the sole of the foot}
For in this mountainH2022 shall the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 restH5117, and MoabH4124 shall be trodden downH1758 under him, even as strawH4963 is trodden downH1758 for the dunghillH1119+H4087+H4325. {trodden down under: or, threshed, etc} {trodden down for…: or, threshed in Madmenah}
Come nearH7126, ye nationsH1471, to hearH8085; and hearkenH7181, ye peopleH3816: let the earthH776 hearH8085, and all that is thereinH4393; the worldH8398, and all things that come forthH6631 of it. {all that…: Heb. the fulness thereof}
For the indignationH7110 of the LORDH3068 is upon all nationsH1471, and his furyH2534 upon all their armiesH6635: he hath utterly destroyedH2763 them, he hath deliveredH5414 them to the slaughterH2874.
Their slainH2491 also shall be cast outH7993, and their stinkH889 shall come upH5927 out of their carcasesH6297, and the mountainsH2022 shall be meltedH4549 with their bloodH1818.
And all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 shall be dissolvedH4743, and the heavensH8064 shall be rolled togetherH1556 as a scrollH5612: and all their hostH6635 shall fall downH5034, as the leafH5929 falleth offH5034 from the vineH1612, and as a fallingH5034 fig from the fig treeH8384.
For my swordH2719 shall be bathedH7301 in heavenH8064: behold, it shall come downH3381 upon IdumeaH123, and upon the peopleH5971 of my curseH2764, to judgmentH4941.
The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 is filledH4390 with bloodH1818, it is made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459, and with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352: for the LORDH3068 hath a sacrificeH2077 in BozrahH1224, and a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of IdumeaH123.
And the unicornsH7214 shall come downH3381 with them, and the bullocksH6499 with the bullsH47; and their landH776 shall be soakedH7301 with bloodH1818, and their dustH6083 made fatH1878 with fatnessH2459. {unicorns: or, rhinocerots} {soaked: or, drunken}
For it is the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5359, and the yearH8141 of recompencesH7966 for the controversyH7379 of ZionH6726.
And the streamsH5158 thereof shall be turnedH2015 into pitchH2203, and the dustH6083 thereof into brimstoneH1614, and the landH776 thereof shall become burningH1197 pitchH2203.
It shall not be quenchedH3518 nightH3915 nor dayH3119; the smokeH6227 thereof shall go upH5927 for everH5769: from generationH1755 to generationH1755 it shall lie wasteH2717; none shall pass throughH5674 it for everH5331 and everH5331.
But the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall possessH3423 it; the owlH3244 also and the ravenH6158 shall dwellH7931 in it: and he shall stretch outH5186 upon it the lineH6957 of confusionH8414, and the stonesH68 of emptinessH922. {cormorant: or, pelican}
They shall callH7121 the noblesH2715 thereof to the kingdomH4410, but none shall be there, and all her princesH8269 shall be nothingH657.
And thornsH5518 shall come upH5927 in her palacesH759, nettlesH7057 and bramblesH2336 in the fortressesH4013 thereof: and it shall be an habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, and a courtH2681 for owlsH1323+H3284. {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
The wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall also meetH6298 with the wild beasts of the islandH338, and the satyrH8163 shall cryH7121 to his fellowH7453; the screech owlH3917 also shall restH7280 there, and findH4672 for herself a place of restH4494. {The wild…desert: Heb. Ziim} {the wild…island: Heb. Ijim} {screech…: or, night monster}
There shall the great owlH7091 make her nestH7077, and layH4422, and hatchH1234, and gatherH1716 under her shadowH6738: there shall the vulturesH1772 also be gatheredH6908, every oneH802 with her mateH7468.
Seek ye outH1875 of the bookH5612 of the LORDH3068, and readH7121: no oneH259 of theseH2007 shall failH5737, noneH802 shall wantH6485 her mateH7468: for my mouthH6310 it hath commandedH6680, and his spiritH7307 it hath gatheredH6908 them.
And he hath castH5307 the lotH1486 for them, and his handH3027 hath dividedH2505 it unto them by lineH6957: they shall possessH3423 it forH5704 everH5769, from generationH1755 to generationH1755 shall they dwellH7931 therein.
Who is this that comethH935 from EdomH123, with dyedH2556 garmentsH899 from BozrahH1224? this that is gloriousH1921 in his apparelH3830, travellingH6808 in the greatnessH7230 of his strengthH3581? I that speakH1696 in righteousnessH6666, mightyH7227 to saveH3467. {glorious: Heb. decked}
Wherefore art thou redH122 in thine apparelH3830, and thy garmentsH899 like him that treadethH1869 in the winefatH1660?
I have troddenH1869 the winepressH6333 alone; and of the peopleH5971 there was noneH376 with me: for I will treadH1869 them in mine angerH639, and trampleH7429 them in my furyH2534; and their bloodH5332 shall be sprinkledH5137 upon my garmentsH899, and I will stainH1351 all my raimentH4403.
For the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 is in mine heartH3820, and the yearH8141 of my redeemedH1350 is comeH935.
And I lookedH5027, and there was none to helpH5826; and I wonderedH8074 that there was none to upholdH5564: therefore mine own armH2220 brought salvationH3467 unto me; and my furyH2534, it upheldH5564 me.
And I will tread downH947 the peopleH5971 in mine angerH639, and make them drunkH7937 in my furyH2534, and I will bring downH3381 their strengthH5332 to the earthH776.
Against MoabH4124 thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; WoeH1945 unto NeboH5015! for it is spoiledH7703: KiriathaimH7156 is confoundedH3001 and takenH3920: MisgabH4869 is confoundedH3001 and dismayedH2865. {Misgab: or, the high place}
There shall be no more praiseH8416 of MoabH4124: in HeshbonH2809 they have devisedH2803 evilH7451 against it; comeH3212, and let us cut it offH3772 from being a nationH1471. Also thou shalt be cut downH1826, O MadmenH4086; the swordH2719 shall pursueH3212 theeH310. {be cut…: or, be brought to silence} {pursue…: Heb. go after thee}
A voiceH6963 of cryingH6818 shall be from HoronaimH2773, spoilingH7701 and greatH1419 destructionH7667.
MoabH4124 is destroyedH7665; her little onesH6810 have caused a cryH2201 to be heardH8085.
For in the going upH4608 of LuhithH3872 continualH1065 weepingH1065 shall go upH5927; for in the going downH4174 of HoronaimH2773 the enemiesH6862 have heardH8085 a cryH6818 of destructionH7667. {continual…: Heb. weeping with weeping}
FleeH5127, saveH4422 your livesH5315, and beH1961 like the heathH6176 in the wildernessH4057. {the heath: or, a naked tree}
For because thou hast trustedH982 in thy worksH4639 and in thy treasuresH214, thou shalt also be takenH3920: and ChemoshH3645 shall go forthH3318 into captivityH1473 with his priestsH3548 and his princesH8269 togetherH3162.
And the spoilerH7703 shall comeH935 upon every cityH5892, and no cityH5892 shall escapeH4422: the valleyH6010 also shall perishH6, and the plainH4334 shall be destroyedH8045, as the LORDH3068 hath spokenH559.
GiveH5414 wingsH6731 unto MoabH4124, that it may fleeH5323 and get awayH3318: for the citiesH5892 thereof shall be desolateH8047, without any to dwellH3427 thereinH2004.
CursedH779 be he that doethH6213 the workH4399 of the LORDH3068 deceitfullyH7423, and cursedH779 be he that keepeth backH4513 his swordH2719 from bloodH1818. {deceitfully: or, negligently}
MoabH4124 hath been at easeH7599 from his youthH5271, and he hath settledH8252 on his leesH8105, and hath not been emptiedH7324 from vesselH3627 to vesselH3627, neither hath he goneH1980 into captivityH1473: therefore his tasteH2940 remainedH5975 in him, and his scentH7381 is not changedH4171. {remained: Heb. stood}
Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that I will sendH7971 unto him wanderersH6808, that shall cause him to wanderH6808, and shall emptyH7324 his vesselsH3627, and breakH5310 their bottlesH5035.
And MoabH4124 shall be ashamedH954 of ChemoshH3645, as the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 was ashamedH954 of BethelH1008 their confidenceH4009.
How sayH559 ye, We are mightyH1368 and strongH2428 menH582 for the warH4421?
MoabH4124 is spoiledH7703, and gone upH5927 out of her citiesH5892, and his chosenH4005 young menH970 are gone downH3381 to the slaughterH2874, saithH5002 the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {his…: Heb. the choice of}
The calamityH343 of MoabH4124 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and his afflictionH7451 hastethH4116 fastH3966.
All ye that are aboutH5439 him, bemoanH5110 him; and all ye that knowH3045 his nameH8034, sayH559, How is the strongH5797 staffH4294 brokenH7665, and the beautifulH8597 rodH4731!
Thou daughterH1323 that dost inhabitH3427 DibonH1769, come downH3381 from thy gloryH3519, and sitH3427 in thirstH6772; for the spoilerH7703 of MoabH4124 shall comeH5927 upon thee, and he shall destroyH7843 thy strong holdsH4013.
O inhabitantH3427 of AroerH6177, standH5975 by the wayH1870, and espyH6822; askH7592 him that fleethH5127, and her that escapethH4422, and sayH559, What is doneH1961? {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
MoabH4124 is confoundedH3001; for it is broken downH2865: howlH3213 and cryH2199; tellH5046 ye it in ArnonH769, that MoabH4124 is spoiledH7703,
And judgmentH4941 is comeH935 upon the plainH4334 countryH776; upon HolonH2473, and upon JahazahH3096, and upon MephaathH4158,
And upon DibonH1769, and upon NeboH5015, and upon BethdiblathaimH1015,
And upon KiriathaimH7156, and upon BethgamulH1014, and upon BethmeonH1010,
And upon KeriothH7152, and upon BozrahH1224, and upon all the citiesH5892 of the landH776 of MoabH4124, farH7350 or nearH7138.
The hornH7161 of MoabH4124 is cut offH1438, and his armH2220 is brokenH7665, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Make ye him drunkenH7937: for he magnifiedH1431 himself against the LORDH3068: MoabH4124 also shall wallowH5606 in his vomitH6892, and he also shall be in derisionH7814.
For was not IsraelH3478 a derisionH7814 unto thee? was he foundH4672 among thievesH1590? for sinceH1767 thou spakestH1697 of him, thou skippedstH5110 for joy. {skippedst…: or, movedst thyself}
O ye that dwellH3427 in MoabH4124, leaveH5800 the citiesH5892, and dwellH7931 in the rockH5553, and be like the doveH3123 that maketh her nestH7077 in the sidesH5676 of the hole'sH6354 mouthH6310.
We have heardH8085 the prideH1347 of MoabH4124, (he is exceedingH3966 proudH1343) his loftinessH1363, and his arrogancyH1346, and his prideH1347, and the haughtinessH7312 of his heartH3820.
I knowH3045 his wrathH5678, saithH5002 the LORDH3068; but it shall not be so; his liesH907 shall not so effectH6213 it. {his lies…: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}
Therefore will I howlH3213 for MoabH4124, and I will cry outH2199 for all MoabH4124; mine heart shall mournH1897 for the menH582 of KirheresH7025.
O vineH1612 of SibmahH7643, I will weepH1058 for thee with the weepingH1065 of JazerH3270: thy plantsH5189 are gone overH5674 the seaH3220, they reachH5060 even to the seaH3220 of JazerH3270: the spoilerH7703 is fallenH5307 upon thy summer fruitsH7019 and upon thy vintageH1210.
And joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 is takenH622 from the plentiful fieldH3759, and from the landH776 of MoabH4124; and I have caused wineH3196 to failH7673 from the winepressesH3342: none shall treadH1869 with shoutingH1959; their shoutingH1959 shall be no shoutingH1959.
From the cryH2201 of HeshbonH2809 even unto ElealehH500, and even unto JahazH3096, have they utteredH5414 their voiceH6963, from ZoarH6820 even unto HoronaimH2773, as an heiferH5697 of three years oldH7992: for the watersH4325 also of NimrimH5249 shall be desolateH4923. {desolate: Heb. desolations}
Moreover I will cause to ceaseH7673 in MoabH4124, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, him that offerethH5927 in the high placesH1116, and him that burneth incenseH6999 to his godsH430.
Therefore mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 for MoabH4124 like pipesH2485, and mine heartH3820 shall soundH1993 like pipesH2485 for the menH582 of KirheresH7025: because the richesH3502 that he hath gottenH6213 are perishedH6.
For every headH7218 shall be baldH7144, and every beardH2206 clippedH1639: upon all the handsH3027 shall be cuttingsH1417, and upon the loinsH4975 sackclothH8242. {clipped: Heb. diminished}
There shall be lamentationH4553 generally upon all the housetopsH1406 of MoabH4124, and in the streetsH7339 thereof: for I have brokenH7665 MoabH4124 like a vesselH3627 wherein is no pleasureH2656, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They shall howlH3213, saying, How is it broken downH2865! how hath MoabH4124 turnedH6437 the backH6203 with shameH954! so shall MoabH4124 be a derisionH7814 and a dismayingH4288 to all them aboutH5439 him. {back: Heb. neck}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, he shall flyH1675 as an eagleH5404, and shall spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 over MoabH4124.
KeriothH7152 is takenH3920, and the strong holdsH4679 are surprisedH8610, and the mighty men'sH1368 heartsH3820 in MoabH4124 at that dayH3117 shall be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangsH6887. {Kerioth: or, The cities}
And MoabH4124 shall be destroyedH8045 from being a peopleH5971, because he hath magnifiedH1431 himself against the LORDH3068.
FearH6343, and the pitH6354, and the snareH6341, shall be upon thee, O inhabitantH3427 of MoabH4124, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
He that fleethH5127+H5211 fromH6440 the fearH6343 shall fallH5307 into the pitH6354; and he that getteth upH5927 out of the pitH6354 shall be takenH3920 in the snareH6341: for I will bringH935 upon it, even upon MoabH4124, the yearH8141 of their visitationH6486, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
They that fledH5127 stoodH5975 under the shadowH6738 of HeshbonH2809 because of the forceH3581: but a fireH784 shall come forthH3318 out of HeshbonH2809, and a flameH3852 from the midstH996 of SihonH5511, and shall devourH398 the cornerH6285 of MoabH4124, and the crown of the headH6936 of the tumultuousH7588 onesH1121. {tumultuous…: Heb. children of noise}
WoeH188 be unto thee, O MoabH4124! the peopleH5971 of ChemoshH3645 perishethH6: for thy sonsH1121 are takenH3947 captivesH7628, and thy daughtersH1323 captivesH7633. {captives, and: Heb. in captivity, etc}
Yet will I bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of MoabH4124 in the latterH319 daysH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Thus farH2008 is the judgmentH4941 of MoabH4124.
And sendH7971 them to the kingH4428 of EdomH123, and to the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and to the kingH4428 of the AmmonitesH1121+H5983, and to the kingH4428 of TyrusH6865, and to the kingH4428 of ZidonH6721, by the handH3027 of the messengersH4397 which comeH935 to JerusalemH3389 unto ZedekiahH6667 kingH4428 of JudahH3063;
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of MoabH4124, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he burnedH8313 the bonesH6106 of the kingH4428 of EdomH123 into limeH7875:
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon MoabH4124, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of KeriothH7152: and MoabH4124 shall dieH4191 with tumultH7588, with shoutingH8643, and with the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782:
And I will cut offH3772 the judgeH8199 from the midstH7130 thereof, and will slayH2026 all the princesH8269 thereof with him, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Concerning EdomH123, thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Is wisdomH2451 no more in TemanH8487? is counselH6098 perishedH6 from the prudentH995? is their wisdomH2451 vanishedH5628?
FleeH5127 ye, turn backH6437, dwellH3427 deepH6009, O inhabitantsH3427 of DedanH1719; for I will bringH935 the calamityH343 of EsauH6215 upon him, the timeH6256 that I will visitH6485 him. {turn…: or, they are turned back}
If grapegatherersH1219 comeH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some gleaning grapesH5955? if thievesH1590 by nightH3915, they will destroyH7843 till they have enoughH1767. {till…: Heb. their sufficiency}
But I have made EsauH6215 bareH2834, I have uncoveredH1540 his secret placesH4565, and he shall not be ableH3201 to hideH2247 himself: his seedH2233 is spoiledH7703, and his brethrenH251, and his neighboursH7934, and he is not.
LeaveH5800 thy fatherless childrenH3490, I will preserve them aliveH2421; and let thy widowsH490 trustH982 in me.
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, they whose judgmentH4941 was not to drinkH8354 of the cupH3563 have assuredlyH8354 drunkenH8354; and art thou he that shall altogetherH5352 go unpunishedH5352? thou shalt not go unpunishedH5352, but thou shalt surelyH8354 drinkH8354 of it.
For I have swornH7650 by myself, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that BozrahH1224 shall become a desolationH8047, a reproachH2781, a wasteH2721, and a curseH7045; and all the citiesH5892 thereof shall be perpetualH5769 wastesH2723.
I have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 unto the heathenH1471, saying, Gather ye togetherH6908, and comeH935 against her, and rise upH6965 to the battleH4421.
For, lo, I will makeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the heathenH1471, and despisedH959 among menH120.
Thy terriblenessH8606 hath deceivedH5377 thee, and the prideH2087 of thine heartH3820, O thou that dwellestH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, that holdestH8610 the heightH4791 of the hillH1389: though thou shouldest make thy nestH7064 as highH1361 as the eagleH5404, I will bring thee downH3381 from thence, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Also EdomH123 shall be a desolationH8047: every one that goethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319 at all the plaguesH4347 thereof.
As in the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017 and the neighbourH7934 cities thereof, saithH559 the LORDH3068, no manH376 shall abideH3427 there, neither shall a sonH1121 of manH120 dwellH1481 in it.
Behold, he shall come upH5927 like a lionH738 from the swellingH1347 of JordanH3383 against the habitationH5116 of the strongH386: but I will suddenlyH7280 make him run awayH7323 from her: and who is a chosenH977 man, that I may appointH6485 over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the timeH3259? and who is that shepherdH7462 that will standH5975 beforeH6440 me? {appoint me…: or, convent me in judgment?}
Therefore hearH8085 the counselH6098 of the LORDH3068, that he hath takenH3289 against EdomH123; and his purposesH4284, that he hath purposedH2803 against the inhabitantsH3427 of TemanH8487: Surely the leastH6810 of the flockH6629 shall draw them outH5498: surely he shall make their habitationsH5116 desolateH8074 with them.
The earthH776 is movedH7493 at the noiseH6963 of their fallH5307, at the cryH6818 the noiseH6963 thereof was heardH8085 in the RedH5488 seaH3220. {Red sea: Heb. Weedy sea}
Behold, he shall come upH5927 and flyH1675 as the eagleH5404, and spreadH6566 his wingsH3671 over BozrahH1224: and at that dayH3117 shall the heartH3820 of the mighty menH1368 of EdomH123 be as the heartH3820 of a womanH802 in her pangsH6887.
I have heardH8085 the reproachH2781 of MoabH4124, and the revilingsH1421 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, whereby they have reproachedH2778 my peopleH5971, and magnifiedH1431 themselves against their borderH1366.
Therefore as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, Surely MoabH4124 shall be as SodomH5467, and the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983 as GomorrahH6017, even the breedingH4476 of nettlesH2738, and saltpitsH4379+H4417, and a perpetualH5704+H5769 desolationH8077: the residueH7611 of my peopleH5971 shall spoilH962 them, and the remnantH3499 of my peopleH1471 shall possessH5157 them.
This shall they have for their prideH1347, because they have reproachedH2778 and magnifiedH1431 themselves against the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
The LORDH3068 will be terribleH3372 unto them: for he will famishH7329 all the godsH430 of the earthH776; and men shall worshipH7812 him, every oneH376 from his placeH4725, even all the islesH339 of the heathenH1471. {famish: Heb. make lean}
And I raised upH6965 of your sonsH1121 for prophetsH5030, and of your young menH970 for NazaritesH5139. Is it not even thus, O ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But ye gave the NazaritesH5139 wineH3196 to drinkH8248; and commandedH6680 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, ProphesyH5012 not.
The visionH2377 of ObadiahH5662. Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 concerning EdomH123; We have heardH8085 a rumourH8052 from the LORDH3068, and an ambassadorH6735 is sentH7971 among the heathenH1471, AriseH6965 ye, and let us rise upH6965 against her in battleH4421.
Behold, I have madeH5414 thee smallH6996 among the heathenH1471: thou art greatlyH3966 despisedH959.
The prideH2087 of thine heartH3820 hath deceivedH5377 thee, thou that dwellestH7931 in the cleftsH2288 of the rockH5553, whose habitationH3427 is highH4791; that saithH559 in his heartH3820, Who shall bring me downH3381 to the groundH776?
Though thou exaltH1361 thyself as the eagleH5404, and though thou setH7760 thy nestH7064 among the starsH3556, thence will I bring thee downH3381, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
If thievesH1590 cameH935 to thee, if robbersH7703 by nightH3915, (how art thou cut offH1820!) would they not have stolenH1589 till they had enoughH1767? if the grapegatherersH1219 cameH935 to thee, would they not leaveH7604 some grapesH5955? {some…: or, gleanings?}
How are the things of EsauH6215 searched outH2664! how are his hiddenH4710 things sought upH1158!
All the menH582 of thy confederacyH1285 have broughtH7971 thee even to the borderH1366: the menH582 that were at peaceH7965 with thee have deceivedH5377 thee, and prevailedH3201 against thee; they that eat thy breadH3899 have laidH7760 a woundH4204 under thee: there is none understandingH8394 in him. {that were…: Heb. of thy peace} {they…: Heb. the men of thy bread} {in him: or, of it}
Shall I not in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, even destroyH6 the wiseH2450 men out of EdomH123, and understandingH8394 out of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215?
And thy mightyH1368 men, O TemanH8487, shall be dismayedH2865, to the end that every oneH376 of the mountH2022 of EsauH6215 may be cut offH3772 by slaughterH6993.
