48.19 :Moab is put to shame, for it is dismayed;
 * Wail and cry;
 * Tell ye it in Arnon,
 * That Moab is spoiled.

And judgment is come upon the country of the Plain; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath; and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim; and upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon; and upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.


 * The horn of Moab is cut off,
 * And his arm is broken,
 * Saith the.
 * Make ye him drunken,
 * For he magnified himself against the ;
 * And Moab shall wallow in his vomit,
 * And he also shall be in derision.
 * For was not Israel a derision unto thee?
 * Was he found among thieves?
 * For as often as thou speakest of him,
 * Thou waggest the head.
 * O ye that dwell in Moab,
 * Leave the cities, and dwell in the rock;
 * And be like the dove that maketh her nest
 * In the sides of the pit's mouth.


 * We have heard of the pride of Moab;
 * He is very proud;
 * His loftiness, and his pride, and his haughtiness,
 * And the assumption of his heart.
 * I know his arrogancy, saith the ,
 * That it is ill-founded;
 * His boastings have wrought nothing well-founded.
 * Therefore will I wail for Moab;
 * Yea, I will cry out for all Moab;
 * For the men of Kir-heres shall my heart moan.
 * With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for thee,
 * O vine of Sibmah;
 * Thy branches passed over the sea,
 * They reached even to the sea of Jazer;
 * Upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage
 * The spoiler is fallen.
 * And gladness and joy is taken away
 * From the fruitful field, and from the land of Moab;
 * And I have caused wine to cease from the winepresses;
 * None shall tread with shouting;
 * The shouting shall be no shouting.
 * From the cry of Heshbon even unto Elealeh,
 * Even unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice,
 * From Zoar even unto Horonaim,
 * A heifer of three years old;
 * For the Waters of Nimrim also
 * Shall be desolate.


 * Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab,
 * Saith the ,
 * Him that offereth in the high place,
 * And him that offereth to his gods.
 * Therefore my heart moaneth for Moab
 * Like pipes, and my heart moaneth like pipes for the men of Kir-heres;
 * Therefore the abundance that he hath gotten is perished.
 * For every head is bald,
 * And every beard clipped;
 * Upon all the hands are cuttings,
 * And upon the loins sackcloth.
 * On all the housetops of Moab and in the broad places thereof
