24:048:028 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the
rock, and be like the dove that maketh her nest in the sides
of the hole's mouth.
24:048:029 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his
loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the
haughtiness of his heart.
24:048:030 I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but it shall not be so; his
lies shall not so effect it.
24:048:031 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all
Moab; mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
24:048:032 O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of
Jazer: thy plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to
the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits
and upon thy vintage.
24:048:033 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and
from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the
winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting
shall be no shouting.
24:048:034 From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh, and even unto
Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even unto
Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also
of Nimrim shall be desolate.
24:048:035 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him
that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense
to his gods.
24:048:036 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine
heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because
the riches that he hath gotten are perished.
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.
