A Prophecy against Moab

48 To Moab: This is what the Lord of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, says:

“How terrible for Nebo, for it’s laid waste.
    Kiriathaim is put to shame, it’s captured.
        The fortress is put to shame, it’s shattered.
The pride of Moab is no more.
    In Heshbon they plotted evil against her:
‘Come and let’s eliminate her as a nation.’
    Madmen[a] will also be silenced,
        and the sword will pursue you.
The sound of crying will come from Horonaim,
    devastation and great destruction.
