A Message to Moab

48 This message is to the country of Moab.

This is what the Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, says:

“How terrible it will be for the city of Nebo,
    because it will be ruined.
The town of Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured;
    the strong city will be disgraced and shattered.
Moab will not be praised again.
    Men in the town of Heshbon plan Moab’s defeat.
    They say, ‘Come, let us put an end to that nation!’
Town of Madmen,[a] you will also be silenced.
    The sword will chase you.
Listen to the cries from the town of Horonaim,
    cries of much confusion and destruction.
