Amen.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan,

Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;
He will never permit the righteous to be moved.

A Message Concerning Moab
48 Concerning Moab, thus says Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel:
“Woe to Nebo,
for it is devastated.
It is ashamed,
Kiriathaim is captured.
Misgab is ashamed,
and it is filled with terror.
2 The glory of Moab is no longer.
In Heshbon they planned evil against her.
Come and let us cut her off from being a nation.
Also, Madmen, you will be silent.
After you will go the sword.
3 The sound of a cry of distress arises from Horonaim,
devastation and great destruction.
4 Moab is broken,
her little ones ?make heard? a cry for help.
5 For the ascent of Luhith,
in weeping they go weeping,
For on the slope of Horonaim they have heard
the distresses of the cry of distress of the destruction.
6 Flee! Save your life!
For you must be like the juniper tree in the desert.
7 For because of your trusting in your works and in your treasures,
even you yourselves will be taken,
and Chemosh will go out into the exile,
his priests and his officials together.
8 And the destroyer will come to every town,
and a town will not escape.
And the valley will be destroyed,
and the plain will be destroyed, as Yahweh has spoken.
9 Give salt for Moab,
for certainly she will go to ruin,
and her towns will become as a desolation,
?without? an inhabitant in them.
10 The one who does the work of Yahweh with slackness is cursed,
and the one who keeps away blood from his sword is cursed.
11 Moab has been at ease from his youth,
and he has been quiet on his dregs,
and he has not been poured out from vessel to vessel,
and he has not gone into exile.
?Therefore? his taste has remained unchanged,
and his fragrance has not changed.
12 ?Therefore? look, days are coming,” ?declares? Yahweh,
“and I will send to him ?decanters?,
and they will decant him,
and his vessels they will empty out,
and their jars they will smash.
13 Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh,
just as the house of Israel were ashamed of Bethel, their trust.
14 How can you say, ‘we are warriors,
and men of might for the battle.’
15 Moab is destroyed,
and his towns have gone up,
and the choice of his young men have gone down to the slaughtering,”
?declares? the King, Yahweh of hosts is his name.
16 “The disaster of Moab is near to come,
and his disaster ?approaches very quickly?.
17 Mourn for him, all his surroundings,
and all those who knew his name.
Say, ‘How the staff of might is broken,
the staff of glory.’
18 Come down from glory and sit on the parched ground,
O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon,
for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you,
he has destroyed your fortifications.
19 Stand by the road and watch,
O inhabitant of Aroer.
Ask the man who is fleeing and the woman who is escaping,
say, ‘What has happened?’
20 Moab is ashamed,
for it is filled with terror.
Wail and cry out,
tell it by Arnon that Moab is devastated.
21 Judgment has also come to the land of the plain, to Holon, and to Jahaz, and on Mephaath,
