Moab is shamed, for he is broken down. Wail and cry! Tell it in Arnon, that Moab is plundered.

Babylon has suddenly fallen and been destroyed. Wail for her! Take balm for her pain; Perhaps she may be healed.

Wail, for the day of the LORD [is] at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Wail, O gate! Cry, O city! All you of Philistia [are] dissolved; For smoke will come from the north, And no one [will be] alone in his appointed times."

He has gone up to the temple and Dibon, To the high places to weep. Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba; On all their heads [will be] baldness, [And] every beard cut off.

Therefore Moab shall wail for Moab; Everyone shall wail. For the foundations of Kir Hareseth you shall mourn; Surely [they are] stricken.

The burden against Tyre. Wail, you ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, So that there is no house, no harbor; From the land of Cyprus it is revealed to them.

Cross over to Tarshish; Wail, you inhabitants of the coastland!

Come now, [you] rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon [you!]

For this, clothe yourself with sackcloth, Lament and wail. For the fierce anger of the LORD Has not turned back from us.

O daughter of my people, Dress in sackcloth And roll about in ashes! Make mourning [as for] an only son, most bitter lamentation; For the plunderer will suddenly come upon us.

"For every head [shall be] bald, and every beard clipped; On all the hands [shall be] cuts, and on the loins sackcloth --

Tremble, you [women] who are at ease; Be troubled, you complacent ones; Strip yourselves, make yourselves bare, And gird [sackcloth] on [your] waists.

People shall mourn upon their breasts For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

[They are] gaunt from want and famine, Fleeing late to the wilderness, desolate and waste,

They were driven out from among [men,] They shouted at them as [at] a thief.

Among the bushes they brayed, Under the nettles they nestled.

He has gone up to the temple and Dibon, To the high places to weep. Moab will wail over Nebo and over Medeba; On all their heads [will be] baldness, [And] every beard cut off.

Against the Ammonites. Thus says the LORD: "Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why [then] does Milcom inherit Gad, And his people dwell in its cities?

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

'because they have forsaken Me, and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the people of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways to do [what is] right in My eyes and [keep] My statutes and My judgments, as [did] his father David.

Then the king defiled the high places that [were] east of Jerusalem, which [were] on the south of the Mount of Corruption, which Solomon king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.

Those who worship the host of heaven on the housetops; Those who worship and swear [oaths] by the LORD, But who [also] swear by Milcom;

The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says: "Behold, I will bring punishment on Amon of No, and Pharaoh and Egypt, with their gods and their kings -- Pharaoh and those who trust in him.

For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures, You also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, His priests and his princes together.

Their king shall go into captivity, He and his princes together," Says the LORD.
