48:2 People will not praise Moab any more.
The enemy will capture Heshbon
saying, ‘Come, let’s put an end to that nation!’
City of Madmen, you will also be destroyed.
A destructive army will march against you.
48:15 Moab will be destroyed. Its towns will be invaded.
Its finest young men will be slaughtered.
I, the King, the Lord who rules over all,
48:18 Come down from your place of honor;
sit on the dry ground,
For the one who will destroy Moab will attack you;
he will destroy your fortifications.
48:31 So I will weep with sorrow for Moab.
I will cry out in sadness for all of Moab.
I will moan
48:33 Joy and gladness will disappear
from the fruitful land of Moab.
I will stop the flow of wine from the winepresses.
No one will stomp on the grapes there and shout for joy.
The shouts there will be shouts of soldiers,
not the shouts of those making wine.
48:41 Her towns
Her fortresses will be taken.
At that time the soldiers of Moab will be frightened
like a woman in labor.
48:45 In the shadows of the walls of Heshbon
those trying to escape will stand helpless.
For a fire will burst forth from Heshbon.
Flames will shoot out from the former territory of Sihon.
They will burn the foreheads of the people of Moab,
the skulls of those war-loving people.
