48 The word of the Lord against the Moabites. 26 Because of their pride and cruelty.

Concerning Moab, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Woe unto [a]Nebo: for it is wasted: Kirjathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and afraid.

Moab shall boast no more of Heshbon: for they have devised evil against it. [b]Come, and let us destroy it, that it be no more a nation: also thou shalt be destroyed, [c]O Madmen, and the sword shall pursue thee.

A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim with desolation and great destruction.
