15:1 Here is a message about Moab:
Indeed, in a night it is devastated,
Ar of Moab is destroyed!
Indeed, in a night it is devastated,
Kir of Moab is destroyed!
16:7 So Moab wails over its demise
they all wail!
Completely devastated, they moan
about what has happened to the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.
16:13 This is the message the Lord previously announced about Moab.
15:8 Indeed, the cries of distress echo throughout Moabite territory;
their wailing can be heard in Eglaim and Beer Elim.
16:2 At the fords of the Arnon
the Moabite women are like a bird
that flies about when forced from its nest.
16:6 We have heard about Moab’s pride,
their great arrogance,
their boasting, pride, and excess.
But their boastful claims are empty!
16:11 So my heart constantly sighs for Moab, like the strumming of a harp,
my inner being sighs
11:14 They will swoop down
together they will loot the people of the east.
They will take over Edom and Moab,
and the Ammonites will be their subjects.
15:2 They went up to the temple,
the people of Dibon went up to the high places to lament.
Because of what happened to Nebo and Medeba,
Every head is shaved bare,
every beard is trimmed off.
15:4 The people of
their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz.
For this reason Moab’s soldiers shout in distress;
their courage wavers.
15:9 Indeed, the waters of Dimon
Indeed, I will heap even more trouble on Dimon.
A lion will attack
and the people left in the land.
16:4 Please let the Moabite fugitives live
Hide them
Certainly
the destroyer will come to an end,
those who trample will disappear
16:12 When the Moabites plead with all their might at their high places,
and enter their temples to pray, their prayers will be ineffective!
25:10 For the Lord’s power will make this mountain secure.
Moab will be trampled down where it stands,
as a heap of straw is trampled down in
15:5 My heart cries out because of Moab’s plight,
and for the fugitives
For they weep as they make their way up the ascent of Luhith;
they loudly lament their demise on the road to Horonaim.
