pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: because the riches
that
he
hath gotten are perished.
37
For every head
shall be
bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the
hands
shall be
cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38
There shall be
lamentation generally upon
all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein
is
no pleasure, saith the L
ORD
.
39
They shall howl,
saying,
How is it broken down! how hath Moab
turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.

being
a
people, because he hath magnified
himself
against the L
ORD
.

Fear, and the pit, and the snare,
shall be
upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the L
ORD
.
44
He that fleeth from the fear shall fall
into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it,
even
upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the L
ORD
.
45

of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the
midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous
ones.

captives, and thy daughters captives.

days, saith the L

is
the judgment of Moab.

doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?

saith the L
ORD
, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it
shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto
them that were his heirs, saith the L
ORD
.

of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall
go into captivity,
and
his priests and his princes together.

thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures,
saying,
Who shall come
unto me?

be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that
wandereth.

L
ORD
.
