⁶ We have heard of the ^(A)pride of Moab—
He is very proud—
Of his haughtiness and his pride and his wrath;
^(B)But his ^[a]lies shall not be so.

^(A)“For three transgressions of Moab, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he ^(B)burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.

²⁹ “We have heard the ^(A)pride of Moab
(He is exceedingly proud),
Of his loftiness and arrogance and ^(B)pride,
And of the haughtiness of his heart.”

³⁰ “I know his wrath,” says the Lord,
“But it is not right;
^(C)His ^[a]lies have made nothing right.

⁸ “I^(A) have heard the reproach of Moab,
And ^(B)the insults of the people of Ammon,
With which they have reproached My people,
And ^(C)made arrogant threats against their borders.
⁹ Therefore, as I live,”
Says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
“Surely ^(D)Moab shall be like Sodom,
And ^(E)the people of Ammon like Gomorrah—
^(F)Overrun^[a] with weeds and saltpits,
And a ^[b]perpetual desolation.
The residue of My people shall plunder them,
And the remnant of My people shall possess them.”

¹⁰ This they shall have ^(G)for their pride,
Because they have reproached and made arrogant threats
Against the people of the Lord of hosts.

²⁶ “Make^(A) him drunk,
Because he exalted himself against the Lord.
Moab shall wallow in his vomit,
And he shall also be in derision.
