the renown of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they planned disaster 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.

摩押不復得譽、在希實本、有人謀害之曰、其來滅之、俾不復為國、瑪得緬歟、爾亦將荒寂、鋒刃必追襲爾也、

摩押不被榮光在希實本有謀害之者、欲滅其國、末面傾圮、鋒刃隨其後。

摩押榮華歸於無有、人在希實本、設謀以害之曰、當往絕之、使不復成國、瑪得緬歟、爾亦傾滅、鋒刃追襲爾後、

Moab will be praised no more; in Heshbon people will plot her downfall:‘ Come, let us put an end to that nation.’ You, the people of Madmen, will also be silenced; the sword will pursue you.

Moab will not be praised anymore. In Heshbon people will plan its fall from power. They will say,‘ Come. Let’s put an end to that nation.’ City of Madmen, you too will be silent. My sword will hunt you down.

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, too, will be silenced; the sword will follow you there.

There is no longer praise for Moab; they plan harm against her in Heshbon: Come, let’s cut her off from nationhood. Also, Madmen, you will be silenced; the sword will follow you.

There is no longer praise for Moab; In Heshbon they have devised disaster against her:‘ Come and let’s cut her off from being a nation!’ You too, Madmen, will be silenced; The sword will follow you.

No more praise of Moab. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her:‘ Come, and let us cut her off as a nation.’ You also shall be cut down, O Madmen! The sword shall pursue you;

The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation. Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue thee.

People will not praise Moab any more. The enemy will capture Heshbon and plot how to destroy Moab, saying,‘ Come, let’s put an end to that nation!’ City of Madmen, you will also be destroyed. A destructive army will march against you.

The praise of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they have devised evil against her:‘ Come! Let’s cut her off from being a nation.’ You also, Madmen, will be brought to silence. The sword will pursue you.

But now the Lord has spoken, saying,“ In three years, like the years of a hired worker, the glory of Moab will be brought into contempt, in spite of all his great multitude, and those who remain will be very few and feeble.”

“ If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the Lord, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.”

And the people of Reuben built Heshbon, Elealeh, Kiriathaim,

They say,“ Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”For they conspire with one accord; against you they make a covenant—the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites,Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;Asshur also has joined them; they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah

Grieve for him, all you who are around him, and all who know his name; say,‘ How the mighty scepter is broken, the glorious staff.’

For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah; the lords of the nations have struck down its branches, which reached to Jazer and strayed to the desert; its shoots spread abroad and passed over the sea.Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer for the vine of Sibmah; I drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; for over your summer fruit and your harvest the shout has ceased.

For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain, and Moab shall be trampled down in his place, as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.

My heart cries out for Moab; her fugitives flee to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishiyah. For at the ascent of Luhith they go up weeping; on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of destruction;

Fear not, O Jacob my servant, declares the Lord, for I am with you. I will make a full end of all the nations to which I have driven you, but of you I will not make a full end. I will discipline you in just measure, and I will by no means leave you unpunished.”

“ Have you not observed that these people are saying,‘ The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight.

Thus the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me:“ Take from my hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it.

And Israel took all these cities, and Israel settled in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon.Therefore the ballad singers say,“ Come to Heshbon, let it be built; let the city of Sihon be established.For fire came out from Heshbon, flame from the city of Sihon. It devoured Ar of Moab, and swallowed the heights of the Arnon.Woe to you, O Moab! You are undone, O people of Chemosh! He has made his sons fugitives, and his daughters captives, to an Amorite king, Sihon.So we overthrew them; Heshbon, as far as Dibon, perished; and we laid waste as far as Nophah; fire spread as far as Medeba.”

An oracle concerning Moab. Because Ar of Moab is laid waste in a night, Moab is undone; because Kir of Moab is laid waste in a night, Moab is undone.

So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand, and made all the nations to whom the Lord sent me drink it:

“ In the shadow of Heshbon fugitives stop without strength, for fire came out from Heshbon, flame from the house of Sihon; it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, the crown of the sons of tumult.

Moab shall be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he magnified himself against the Lord.

Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus,“ There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom. Their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king’s laws, so that it is not to the king’s profit to tolerate them.If it please the king, let it be decreed that they be destroyed, and I will pay 10,000 talents of silver into the hands of those who have charge of the king’s business, that they may put it into the king’s treasuries.”So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews.And the king said to Haman,“ The money is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you.”Then the king’s scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and an edict, according to all that Haman commanded, was written to the king’s satraps and to the governors over all the provinces and to the officials of all the peoples, to every province in its own script and every people in its own language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king’s signet ring.Letters were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces with instruction to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all Jews, young and old, women and children, in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province by proclamation to all the peoples to be ready for that day.

“ From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, as far as Jahaz they utter their voice, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also have become desolate.And I will bring to an end in Moab, declares the Lord, him who offers sacrifice in the high place and makes offerings to his god.

“ Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth, lament, and run to and fro among the hedges! For Milcom shall go into exile, with his priests and his officials.
