And it shall come to pass when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not have enough strength.

Heshbon and all its cities in the plain: Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon,

O daughter dwelling in Dibon, come down from your glory and sit in thirst. For the plunderer of Moab has come upon you; he has destroyed your strongholds.

and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,

and upon Kirjathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,

In the streets they shall clothe themselves with sackcloth; on the tops of their houses and in their streets everyone shall howl, weeping bitterly.

Howl, O gate! Cry, O city! O Philistia, all of you are melted away; for from the north a smoke comes, with no straggler in his ranks.

Therefore Moab shall howl for Moab, everyone shall howl. You shall mourn for the foundations of Kir-hareseth; surely they are stricken.

Therefore I will wail for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab, and shall mourn for the men of Kir-hares.

They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! How has Moab turned the back with shame! Thus Moab shall be an object of derision, and a terror to all those around him.

Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Shebam, Nebo, and Beon,

Nebo and Baal-meon (their names being changed) and Shibmah; and they gave other names to the cities which they built.

And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And Jehovah showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan,

Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, against Moab: Woe to Nebo, for it is plundered! Kirjathaim is dried up and captured. The Fortress is dried up and dismayed.

But we have shot at them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon; and we laid waste as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.

Their territory was from Aroer, the bank of the River Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;

And it shall be, instead of a smell of perfume, there shall be an odor of decay. And instead of a belt, a rope. And instead of well set hair, baldness. And instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.

And in that day Jehovah of Hosts called for weeping and mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.

You shall not shave around the corners of your head, nor shall you spoil the edges of your beard.

You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor put any etched marks on you: I am Jehovah.

They shall not make any bald place on their heads, nor shall they shave the corners of their beards nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

You are the children of Jehovah your God; you shall not cut yourselves nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.

Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell down upon the ground and prostrated himself;

Cut off your hair and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the desolate heights. For Jehovah has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.

Baldness has come upon Gaza. Ashkelon is cut off with the rest of their valley. For how long will you cut yourself off?

Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, against Moab: Woe to Nebo, for it is plundered! Kirjathaim is dried up and captured. The Fortress is dried up and dismayed.

For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped. On all the hands shall be cuttings, and on the loins sackcloth.

On all the housetops of Moab, and in its streets, there is weeping for all. For I have broken Moab like a vessel in which no one has pleasure, says Jehovah.

They will also be girded with sackcloth; trembling will cover them; shame will be on every face, and baldness on all their heads.
