48 Concerning Mo’av, this is what Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Isra’el, says:

“Woe to N’vo, for it is ravaged;
Kiryatayim disgraced and captured.
Misgav is put to shame, distressed.

“In Mo’av, nothing is left to praise.

the sword pursues behind you.
An agonized cry from Horonayim,
ruin, terrible devastation!
