1 Against Mo’av [Seed of my Father] thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies], the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; Woe unto Nevo [Prophet]! for it is spoiled: Kiryatayim [two cities] is confounded [and] taken: Misgav [refuge] is confounded and dismayed.

2 [There shall be] no more praise of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]: in Heshbon [Stronghold] they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from [being] a nation. Also youi shall be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue youi.

3 A voice of crying [shall be] from Horonayim [two caves] [two caves], spoiling and great destruction.

4 Mo’av [Seed of my Father] is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

5 For in the going up of Luchit [tablets (small, flat ornaments or jewelry)] continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonayim [two caves] [two caves] the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.

6 Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath (small shrub found in open wastelands) in the wilderness.

7 For because youi have trusted in youri works and in youri treasures, youi shall also be taken: and K’mosh [Subduer] shall go forth into captivity [with] his priests and his princes together.

8 And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has spoken.

9 Give wings unto Mo’av [Seed of my Father], that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell in it.

10 Cursed [be] he that does the work of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) deceitfully, and cursed [be] he that keeps back his sword from blood.

11 Mo’av [Seed of my Father] has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees (sediment settled in liquid; the dregs), and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

12 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that I will send unto him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.

13 And Mo’av [Seed of my Father] shall be ashamed of K’mosh [Subduer], as the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] was ashamed of Beit-El [House of God] their confidence.

14 How say you2f, We [are] mighty and strong men for the war?

15 Mo’av [Seed of my Father] is spoiled, and gone up [out of] her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name [is] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies].

16 The calamity of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] [is] near to come, and his affliction hastes fast.

17 All you2f that are about him, bemoan him; and all you2f that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, [and] the beautiful rod!

18 Youi daughter that does inhabit Divon [Wasting], come down from [youri] glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] shall come upon youi, [and] he shall destroy youri strong holds.

19 O inhabitant of ‘Aeo’er [Ruins], stand by the way, and espy; ask him that flees, and her that escapes, [and] say, What is done?

20 Mo’av [Seed of my Father] is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell you2f it in ‘Arnon [Rushing Stream], that Mo’av [Seed of my Father] is spoiled,

21 And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon [Sandy], and upon Yah’zah [trampled down] and upon Mepha’et [Spendour or Height],

22 And upon Divon [Wasting], and upon Nevo [Prophet], and upon Beit-Diblatayim [house of the two fig-cakes],

23 And upon Kiryatayim [two cities], and upon Beit-Gamul [house of recompense], and upon Beit-M’on [house of Ba’al],

24 And upon K’riot [Surrounded by a Wall], and upon Botzrah [sheepfold or fortress], and upon all the cities of the land of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], far or near.

25 The horn of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

26 Make you2f him drunken: for he magnified [himself] against the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): Mo’av [Seed of my Father] also shall wallow (to approve, commend, accept) in his vomit, and he also shall be in ridicule (laughing at enemies’ threats).

27 For was not Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] a ridicule (laughing at enemies’ threats) unto youi? was he found among thieves? for since youi spoke of him, youi skipped for joy.

28 O you2f that dwell in Mo’av [Seed of my Father], leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove [that] makes her nest in the sides of the hole’s mouth.

29 We have heard the pride of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

30 I know his wrath, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies shall not so effect [it].

31 Therefore will I howl for Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and I will cry out for all Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; [my heart] shall mourn for the men of Kir-Heres [wall of potsherds].

32 O vine of Sivnah [Fragrance], I will weep for youi with the weeping of Ya’zer [Helped]: youri plants are gone over the sea, they reach [even] to the sea of Ya’zer [Helped]: the spoiler is fallen upon youri summer fruits and upon youri vintage.

33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Mo’av [Seed of my Father]; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall trample with shouting; [their] shouting [shall be] no shouting.

34 From the cry of Heshbon [Stronghold] [even] unto El’aleh [God is Ascending], [and even] unto Yachatz [Trampled Down], have they uttered their voice, from Tzo’ar [Insignificance] [even] unto Horonayim [two caves] [two caves], [as] an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim [pure] shall be desolate.

35 Moreover I will cause to cease in Mo’av [Seed of my Father], says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), him that offers in the high places, and him that burns incense to his gods.

36 Therefore my heart shall sound for Mo’av [Seed of my Father] like pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-Heres [wall of potsherds]: because the riches [that] he has gotten are perished.

37 For every head [shall be] bald, and every beard clipped: upon all the hands [shall be] cuttings, and upon the waist sackcloth.

38 [There shall be] lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Mo’av [Seed of my Father] like a vessel wherein [is] no pleasure, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

39 They shall howl, [saying], How is it broken down! how has Mo’av [Seed of my Father] turned the back with shame! so shall Mo’av [Seed of my Father] be a ridicule (laughing at enemies’ threats) and a dismaying to all them about him.

40 For thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Mo’av [Seed of my Father].

41 K’riot [Surrounded by a Wall] is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts in Mo’av [Seed of my Father] at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs (extreme sharp pains).

42 And Mo’av [Seed of my Father] shall be destroyed from [being] a people, because he has magnified [himself] against the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

43 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [shall be] upon youi, O inhabitant of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

44 He that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, [even] upon Mo’av [Seed of my Father], the year of their visitation, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

45 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon [Stronghold] because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon [Stronghold], and a flame from the midst of Sichon [Warrior], and shall devour the corner of Mo’av [Seed of my Father], and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

46 Woe be unto youi, O Mo’av [Seed of my Father]! the people of K’mosh [Subduer] perishes: for youri sons are taken captives, and youri daughters captives.

47 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Mo’av [Seed of my Father] in the latter days, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate). Thus far [is] the judgment of Mo’av [Seed of my Father].
