Egypt, Judah, Edom, the Ammonites, Moab, and all those with shaved temples who live in the desert. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel is uncircumcised in heart.

Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;

Send them to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the Ammonites, the king of Tyre, and the king of Sidon by the hand of the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to King Zedekiah of Judah.

Judgment on Moab
Concerning Moab. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Alas for Nebo, it is laid waste! Kiriathaim is put to shame; it is taken; the fortress is put to shame and broken down;
-
the renown of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they planned evil against her: “Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!” You also, O Madmen, shall be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue you.
-
“Moab is destroyed!” her little ones cry out.
-
Set aside salt for Moab, for she will surely fall; her towns shall become a desolation, with no inhabitant in them.
-
Moab has been at ease from his youth, settled like wine on its dregs; he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into exile; therefore his flavor has remained, and his aroma is unspoiled.
-
Then Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
-
Moab is destroyed, and his towns have gone up, and the choicest of his young men have gone down to slaughter, says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
-
The calamity of Moab is near at hand, and his doom approaches swiftly.
-
Come down from glory and sit on the parched ground, enthroned daughter Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you; he has destroyed your strongholds.
-
Moab is put to shame, for it is broken down; wail and cry! Tell it by the Arnon that Moab is laid waste.
-
and Kerioth, and Bozrah, and all the towns of the land of Moab, far and near.
-
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the Lord.
-
Make him drunk because he magnified himself against the Lord; let Moab wallow in his vomit; he, too, shall become a laughingstock.
-
Leave the towns, and live on the rock, O inhabitants of Moab! Be like the dove that nests on the sides of the mouth of a gorge.
-
We have heard of the pride of Moab— he is very proud— of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
-
Therefore I wail for Moab; I cry out for all Moab; for the people of Kir-heres I mourn.
-
Gladness and joy have been taken away from the fruitful land of Moab; I have stopped the wine from the winepresses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; the shouting is not the shout of joy.
-
And I will bring to an end in Moab, says the Lord, those who offer sacrifice at a high place and make offerings to their gods.
-
Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the people of Kir-heres, for the riches they gained have perished.
-
On all the housetops of Moab and in the squares there is nothing but lamentation, for I have broken Moab like a vessel that no one wants, says the Lord.
-
How it is broken! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! So Moab has become a derision and a horror to all his neighbors.
