Moab is put to shame, because he is broken. Howl and cry, proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished.

And Babylon has fallen suddenly, and is broken to pieces. Lament for her; take balm for her deadly wound, if by any means she may be healed.

Howl, for the day of the Lord is near, and destruction from God shall arrive.

Howl, you gates of cities; let the cities be troubled and cry, [even] all the Philistines; for smoke is coming from the north, and there is no [possibility] of living.

Grieve for yourselves; for even Dibon, where your altar is, shall be destroyed; there shall you go up to weep, over Nebo of the land of Moab; howl; baldness shall be on every head, [and] all arms [shall be] wounded.

Moab shall howl; for all shall howl in the land of Moab; but you shall care for them that dwell in Hareseth, and you shall not be ashamed.

The word concerning Tyre. Howl, you ships of Carthage; for she has perished, and [men] no longer arrive from the land of the Citians; she is led captive.

Depart to Carthage. Howl, you that dwell in this island.

Listen now, you rich, weep and howl at your miseries which are coming upon you!

For these things gird yourselves with sackcloth and lament, and howl; for the anger of the Lord has not turned away from you.

O daughter of My people, gird yourself with sackcloth; sprinkle [yourself] with ashes; make for yourself pitiable lamentation, [as] the mourning for a beloved [son]; for misery will come suddenly upon you.

They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat [their breasts], and on all loins shall be sackcloth.

Be amazed, be pained, you confident ones; strip, bare yourselves, gird your loins

and beat your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine.

[One is] childless from want and famine, [such as] they that fled but lately the distress and misery of drought.

Thieves have risen up against me,

They will cry out among the rustling [bushes].

Grieve for yourselves; for even Dibon, where your altar is, shall be destroyed; there shall you go up to weep, over Nebo of the land of Moab; howl; baldness shall be on every head, [and] all arms [shall be] wounded.

Concerning the sons of Ammon, thus says the Lord: Are there no sons in Israel? Or have they no one to succeed [them]? Why has Milcom inherited Gilead, and why shall their people dwell in their cities?

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the abomination of the Sidonians.

Because he forsook Me, and sacrificed to Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chemosh, and to the idols of Moab, and to their king the abomination of the children of Ammon, and he walked not in My ways, to do that which was right before Me, as David his father [did].

And the king defiled the house that was before Jerusalem, on the right hand of the Mount of Mosthath, which Solomon king of Israel built to Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and to Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

and them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and swear by the Lord, and them that swear by their king;

Behold, I [will] avenge Ammon her son upon Pharaoh, and upon them that trust in him.

Since you have trusted in your stronghold, therefore you shall be taken; and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together.

and her kings shall go into captivity, their priests and their rulers together, says the Lord.
