Rh :There is lamentation every where;
 * For I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure,
 * Saith the.
 * 'How is it broken down! ' wail ye!
 * 'How hath Moab turned the back with shame! '
 * So shall Moab become a derision and a dismay
 * To all that are round about him.


 * For thus saith the :
 * Behold, he shall swoop as a vulture,
 * And shall spread out his wings against Moab.
 * The cities are taken,
 * And the strongholds are seized,
 * And the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day
 * Shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
 * And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people,
 * Because he hath magnified himself against the.
 * Terror, and the pit, and the trap,
 * Are upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab,
 * Saith the.
 * He that fleeth from the terror
 * Shall fall into the pit;
 * And he that getteth up out of the pit
 * Shall be taken in the trap;
 * For I will bring upon her, even upon Moab,
 * The year of their visitation, saith the.


 * In the shadow of Heshbon the fugitives
 * Stand without strength;
 * For a fire is gone forth out of Heshbon,
 * And a flame from the midst of Sihon,
 * And it devoureth the corner of Moab,
 * And the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
 * Woe unto thee, O Moab!
 * The people of Chemosh is undone;
 * For thy sons are taken away captive,
 * And thy daughters into captivity.
 * Yet will I turn the captivity of Moab
 * In the end of days, saith the.

Thus far is the judgment of Moab.

Of the children of Ammon.


 * Thus saith the :
 * Hath Israel no sons?
 * Hath he no heir?
 * Why then doth Malcam take possession of Gad,
 * And his people dwell in the cities thereof?
 * Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the ,
 * That I will cause an alarm of war to be heard
 * Against Rabbah of the children of Ammon;
 * And it shall become a desolate mound,
 * And her daughters shall be burned with fire;
 * Then shall Israel dispossess them that did dispossess him,
 * Saith the.
 * Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is undone;
 * Cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth;
 * Lament, and run to and fro among the folds;
 * For Malcam shall go into captivity,
 * His priests and his princes together.
