1 God says: Bad news for Moab. Nebo and Kiriathaim will fall. ️ 2 Moab will not be praised now. In Heshbon, enemies plan to end her. Madmen will be quiet. The sword runs after you. ⚔️♂️ 3 A loud cry comes from Horonaim. Big hurt and smash are there. ️ 4 Moab is broken. The little ones cry out. 5 On the hill to Luhith, they go up crying. On the road down to Horonaim, people hear pain and crash. ⬆️⬇️ 6 Run! Save your life! Be like a small bush in the desert. ♀️️ 7 You trusted your stuff and your money, not God. You will be taken. Chemosh will go too, with his leaders. ➡️ 8 A destroyer will come to every city. No city will be safe. Valleys and plains will be gone. God said this. ️ 9 Give wings to Moab so she can fly away. But her towns will be empty. ️ 10 God says: Do My work well. Do not be lazy. Do not hold back in the fight. ⚔️ 11 Moab sat still a long time. He did not move or change. He stayed the same. ️ 12 God says: Days will come. I will send people to pour him out. His jars will break. 13 Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, like Israel was ashamed of Bethel. 14 You say, “We are strong in war.” But you are not. ❌ 15 The destroyer comes to Moab and her towns. The best young men fall. God the King says this. ⚔️ 16 Moab’s bad day is near. It comes fast. ⏰⚠️ 17 All who live around Moab, be sad for her. Say, “The strong stick is broken.” 18 Dibon, come down and sit on dry ground. The enemy broke your strong walls. ♀️️ 19 Aroer, stand and look. Ask the one who runs, “What happened?” ❓ 20 Moab is shamed and broken. Cry and tell by the Arnon: “Moab is in ruin.” ️ 21 God’s judge came on the flat land: Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath. ⚖️️ 22 Also Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim. ️ 23 Also Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon. ️ 24 Also Kerioth, Bozrah, and all Moab towns, near and far. ️ 25 God says: Moab’s horn is cut off. His arm is broken. ✂️ 26 Make Moab drunk, for he was proud against God. He will fall and be a joke. 27 You laughed at Israel. You shook your head at him. Now you will be laughed at too. ➡️ 28 People of Moab, leave the towns. Live in the rocks. Be like a dove in a cave. ️⛰️ 29 We heard Moab is very proud. So high and rude in heart. ⬆️ 30 God says: I know his brag. It is not true. His work is not good. ️❌ 31 So I cry for Moab. I cry for the men of Kir-hareseth. 32 I weep for the vine of Sibmah, more than for Jazer. The grape fruit is lost. 33 Joy is gone from Moab. No more wine work. No happy shout at the wine place. 34 From Heshbon to Elealeh to Jahzah, they cry. From Zoar to Horonaim to Eglath, they cry. The water of Nimrim is dry. 35 God says: I will stop the high place gifts in Moab. No more gifts to his god. ⛔ 36 So my heart makes a sad sound for Moab, like a soft song. The riches they got are gone. 37 All heads are shaved. All beards are cut. Hands have cuts. People wear rough cloth. ✂️✂️✋ 38 On roofs and in streets, all cry. God says: I broke Moab like a jar no one wants. 39 See how Moab is broken! They cry and turn away in shame. All around, people fear and laugh at Moab. 40 God says: Look! One comes fast like an eagle and spreads wings over Moab. 41 Towns are taken. Strong places fall. The brave men shake like a mom having a baby. 42 Moab will be crushed and not big anymore, because he was proud against God. 43 Fear, hole, and trap are for you, people of Moab, God says. ️ 44 Run from fear, you fall in a hole. Climb out, you get caught in a trap. God says: This is your pay day, Moab. ♂️➡️️➡️ 45 Tired people stop in Heshbon’s shade, but fire came from Heshbon, from Sihon’s house. It burned Moab’s head, the proud top. ️ 46 Sad for you, Moab! Chemosh’s people are hurt. Sons and daughters are taken away. ➡️ 47 But later, God says: I will make Moab okay again. The end of the words on Moab. ️
