048:006 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness. 048:007 For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together. 048:008 The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as Yahweh has spoken. 048:009 Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell therein. 048:010 Cursed be he who does the work of Yahweh negligently; and cursed be he who keeps back his sword from blood. 048:011 Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed. 048:012 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces. 048:013 Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence. 048:014 How say you, We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war? 048:015 Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is Yahweh of Armies. 048:016 The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast. 048:017 All you who are round about him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod! 048:018 You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab is come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds. 048:019 Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, What has been done? 048:020 Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell you it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste. 048:021 Judgment is come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath, 048:022 and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim, 048:023 and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon, 048:024 and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. 048:025 The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Yahweh. 048:026 Make you him drunken; for he magnified himself against Yahweh: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision. 048:027 For wasn't Israel a derision to you? was he found among thieves? for as often as you speak of him, you wag the head.
