No one will ever brag about Moab again,
    for in Heshbon there is a plot to destroy her.
‘Come,’ they say, ‘we will cut her off from being a nation.’
    The town of Madmen,[a] too, will be silenced;
    the sword will follow you there.
Listen to the cries from Horonaim,
    cries of devastation and great destruction.
All Moab is destroyed.
    Her little ones will cry out.[b]

Footnotes

  1. 48:2 Madmen sounds like the Hebrew word for “silence”; it should not be confused with the English word madmen.
  2. 48:4 Greek version reads Her cries are heard as far away as Zoar.
