What the Lord Says about Moab

48 (A) The Lord All-Powerful, the God of Israel, told me to say to the nation of Moab:

The town of Nebo is doomed;
Kiriathaim will be captured
    and disgraced,
and even its fortress
    will be left in ruins.
No one honors you, Moab.
In Heshbon, enemies make plans
    to end your life.
My sword will leave only silence
    in your town named “Quiet.”[a]
The people of Horonaim
    will cry for help,
as their town is attacked
    and destroyed.
