the midst of Sihon, and has devoured the corner of Moab,
and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
048:046 Woe to you, O Moab! the people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons
are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
048:047 Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days,
says Yahweh. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
049:001 Of the children of Ammon. Thus says Yahweh: Has Israel
no sons? has he no heir? why then does Malcam possess Gad,
and his people well in the cities of it?
049:002 Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will cause
an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon;
and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall
be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who did
possess him, says Yahweh.
049:003 Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah,
gird you with sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth
among the fences; for Malcam shall go into captivity,
his priests and his princes together.
049:004 Why glory you in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding
daughter? who trusted in her treasures, [saying], Who shall

and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed,
and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.
