	SEP Brenton Septuagint Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame.	Concerning Moab. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Woe to Nebo, for it is laid waste! Kiriathaim is put to shame, it is taken; the fortress is put to shame and broken down;	Concerning Moab: This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: “Woe to Nebo, for it will be ruined. Kiriathaim will be disgraced and captured; the stronghold will be disgraced and shattered.
2	There is no longer any healing for Moab, nor glorying in Esebon: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from being a nation, and she shall be completely still: after thee shall go a sword;	the renown of Moab is no more. In Heshbon they planned disaster against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!’ You also, O Madmen, shall be brought to silence; the sword shall pursue you.	Moab will be praised no more; in Heshbon people will plot her downfall: ‘Come, let us put an end to that nation.’ You, the people of Madmen, will also be silenced; the sword will pursue you.
3	for there is a voice of men crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin.	“A voice! A cry from Horonaim, ‘Desolation and great destruction!’	Cries of anguish arise from Horonaim, cries of great havoc and destruction.
4	Moab is ruined, proclaim it to Zogora:	Moab is destroyed; her little ones have made a cry.	Moab will be broken; her little ones will cry out.
5	for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; ye have heard a cry of destruction.	For at the ascent of Luhith they go up weeping; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distressed cry of destruction.	They go up the hill to Luhith, weeping bitterly as they go; on the road down to Horonaim anguished cries over the destruction are heard.
6	Flee ye, and save your lives, and ye shall be as a wild ass in the desert.	Flee! Save yourselves! You will be like a juniper in the desert!	Flee! Run for your lives; become like a bush in the desert.
7	Since thou hast trusted in thy strong-hold, therefore thou shalt be taken: and Chamos shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together.	For, because you trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken; and Chemosh shall go into exile with his priests and his officials.	Since you trust in your deeds and riches, you too will be taken captive, and Chemosh will go into exile, together with his priests and officials.
8	And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said.	The destroyer shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape; the valley shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.	The destroyer will come against every town, and not a town will escape. The valley will be ruined and the plateau destroyed, because the LORD has spoken.
9	Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence shall there be an inhabitant for her?	“Give wings to Moab, for she would fly away; her cities shall become a desolation, with no inhabitant in them.	Put salt on Moab, for she will be laid waste; her towns will become desolate, with no one to live in them.
10	Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood.	“Cursed is he who does the work of the LORD with slackness, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from bloodshed.	“A curse on anyone who is lax in doing the LORD’s work! A curse on anyone who keeps their sword from bloodshed!
11	Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out his liquor from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not.	“Moab has been at ease from his youth and has settled on his dregs; he has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into exile; so his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.	“Moab has been at rest from youth, like wine left on its dregs, not poured from one jar to another— she has not gone into exile. So she tastes as she did, and her aroma is unchanged.
12	Therefore, behold, his days come, saith the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder.	“Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I shall send to him pourers who will pour him, and empty his vessels and break his jars in pieces.	But days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will send men who pour from pitchers, and they will pour her out; they will empty her pitchers and smash her jars.
13	And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Baethel their hope, having trusted in them.	Then Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.	Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh, as Israel was ashamed when they trusted in Bethel.
14	How will ye say, We are strong, and men strong for war?	“How do you say, ‘We are heroes and mighty men of war’?	“How can you say, ‘We are warriors, men valiant in battle’?
15	Moab is ruined, even his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter.	The destroyer of Moab and his cities has come up, and the choicest of his young men have gone down to slaughter, declares the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.	Moab will be destroyed and her towns invaded; her finest young men will go down in the slaughter,” declares the King, whose name is the LORD Almighty.
16	The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly to vengeance .	The calamity of Moab is near at hand, and his affliction hastens swiftly.	“The fall of Moab is at hand; her calamity will come quickly.
17	Shake the head at him, all ye that are round about him; all of you utter his name; say ye, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence!	Grieve for him, all you who are around him, and all who know his name; say, ‘How the mighty scepter is broken, the glorious staff.’	Mourn for her, all who live around her, all who know her fame; say, ‘How broken is the mighty scepter, how broken the glorious staff!’
18	Come down from thy glory, and sit down in a damp place: Daebon shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against thee one to ravage thy strong-hold.	“Come down from your glory, and sit on the parched ground, O inhabitant of Dibon! For the destroyer of Moab has come up against you; he has destroyed your strongholds.	“Come down from your glory and sit on the parched ground, you inhabitants of Daughter Dibon, for the one who destroys Moab will come up against you and ruin your fortified cities.
19	Stand by the way, and look, thou that dwellest in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened?	Stand by the way and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer! Ask him who flees and her who escapes; say, ‘What has happened?’	Stand by the road and watch, you who live in Aroer. Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping, ask them, ‘What has happened?’
20	Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished.	Moab is put to shame, for it is broken; wail and cry! Tell it beside the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.	Moab is disgraced, for she is shattered. Wail and cry out! Announce by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.
21	And judgment is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas,	“Judgment has come upon the tableland, upon Holon, and Jahzah, and Mephaath,	Judgment has come to the plateau— to Holon, Jahzah and Mephaath,
22	and upon Daebon, and upon Nabau, and upon the house of Daethlathaim,	and Dibon, and Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,	to Dibon, Nebo and Beth Diblathaim,
23	and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gaemol, and upon the house of Maon,	and Kiriathaim, and Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,	to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul and Beth Meon,
24	and upon Carioth, and upon Bosor, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near.	and Kerioth, and Bozrah, and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.	to Kerioth and Bozrah— to all the towns of Moab, far and near.
25	The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed.	The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, declares the LORD.	Moab’s horn is cut off; her arm is broken,” declares the LORD.
26	Make ye him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing-stock.	“Make him drunk, because he magnified himself against the LORD, so that Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he too shall be held in derision.	“Make her drunk, for she has defied the LORD. Let Moab wallow in her vomit; let her be an object of ridicule.
27	For surely Israel was to thee a laughing-stock, and was found among thy thefts, because thou didst fight against him.	Was not Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves, that whenever you spoke of him you wagged your head?	Was not Israel the object of your ridicule? Was she caught among thieves, that you shake your head in scorn whenever you speak of her?
28	The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and dwelt in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave.	“Leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, O inhabitants of Moab! Be like the dove that nests in the sides of the mouth of a gorge.	Abandon your towns and dwell among the rocks, you who live in Moab. Be like a dove that makes its nest at the mouth of a cave.
29	And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up.	We have heard of the pride of Moab— he is very proud— of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.	“We have heard of Moab’s pride— how great is her arrogance!— of her insolence, her pride, her conceit and the haughtiness of her heart.
30	But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus?	I know his insolence, declares the LORD; his boasts are false, his deeds are false.	I know her insolence but it is futile,” declares the LORD, “and her boasts accomplish nothing.
31	Therefore howl ye for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men in a gloomy place. I will weep for thee,	Therefore I wail for Moab; I cry out for all Moab; for the men of Kir-hareseth I mourn.	Therefore I wail over Moab, for all Moab I cry out, I moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.
32	O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: thy branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon thy fruits, and upon thy grape-gatherers.	More than for Jazer I weep for you, O vine of Sibmah! Your branches passed over the sea, reached to the Sea of Jazer; on your summer fruits and your grapes the destroyer has fallen.	I weep for you, as Jazer weeps, you vines of Sibmah. Your branches spread as far as the sea; they reached as far as Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your ripened fruit and grapes.
33	Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and though there was wine in thy presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy.	Gladness and joy have been taken away from the fruitful land of Moab; I have made the wine cease from the winepresses; no one treads them with shouts of joy; the shouting is not the shout of joy.	Joy and gladness are gone from the orchards and fields of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the presses; no one treads them with shouts of joy. Although there are shouts, they are not shouts of joy.
34	From the cry of Esebon even to Aetam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings as a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up.	“From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, as far as Jahaz they utter their voice, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah. For the waters of Nimrim also have become desolate.	“The sound of their cry rises from Heshbon to Elealeh and Jahaz, from Zoar as far as Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah, for even the waters of Nimrim are dried up.
35	And I will destroy Moab, saith the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods.	And I will bring to an end in Moab, declares the LORD, him who offers sacrifice in the high place and makes offerings to his god.	In Moab I will put an end to those who make offerings on the high places and burn incense to their gods,” declares the LORD.
36	Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what every man has gained has perished from him.	Therefore my heart moans for Moab like a flute, and my heart moans like a flute for the men of Kir-hareseth. Therefore the riches they gained have perished.	“So my heart laments for Moab like the music of a pipe; it laments like a pipe for the people of Kir Hareseth. The wealth they acquired is gone.
37	They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat the breasts , and on all loins shall be sackcloth.	“For every head is shaved and every beard cut off. On all the hands are gashes, and around the waist is sackcloth.	Every head is shaved and every beard cut off; every hand is slashed and every waist is covered with sackcloth.
38	And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets shall be mourning : for I have broken him , saith the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless.	On all the housetops of Moab and in the squares there is nothing but lamentation, for I have broken Moab like a vessel for which no one cares, declares the LORD.	On all the roofs in Moab and in the public squares there is nothing but mourning, for I have broken Moab like a jar that no one wants,” declares the LORD.
39	How has he changed! how has Moab turned his back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing-stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about him.	How it is broken! How they wail! How Moab has turned his back in shame! So Moab has become a derision and a horror to all that are around him.”	“How shattered she is! How they wail! How Moab turns her back in shame! Moab has become an object of ridicule, an object of horror to all those around her.”
40	For thus said the Lord;	For thus says the LORD: “Behold, one shall fly swiftly like an eagle and spread his wings against Moab;	This is what the LORD says: “Look! An eagle is swooping down, spreading its wings over Moab.
41	Carioth is taken, and the strong-holds have been taken together.	the cities shall be taken and the strongholds seized. The heart of the warriors of Moab shall be in that day like the heart of a woman in her birth pains;	Kerioth will be captured and the strongholds taken. In that day the hearts of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.
42	And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord.	Moab shall be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he magnified himself against the LORD.	Moab will be destroyed as a nation because she defied the LORD.
43	A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon thee, O inhabitant off Moab.	Terror, pit, and snare are before you, O inhabitant of Moab! declares the LORD.	Terror and pit and snare await you, you people of Moab,” declares the LORD.
44	he that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation.	He who flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he who climbs out of the pit shall be caught in the snare. For I will bring these things upon Moab, the year of their punishment, declares the LORD.	“Whoever flees from the terror will fall into a pit, whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare; for I will bring on Moab the year of her punishment,” declares the LORD.
45		“In the shadow of Heshbon fugitives stop without strength, for fire came out from Heshbon, flame from the house of Sihon; it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, the crown of the sons of tumult.	“In the shadow of Heshbon the fugitives stand helpless, for a fire has gone out from Heshbon, a blaze from the midst of Sihon; it burns the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of the noisy boasters.
46		Woe to you, O Moab! The people of Chemosh are undone, for your sons have been taken captive, and your daughters into captivity.	Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh are destroyed; your sons are taken into exile and your daughters into captivity.
47		Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the latter days, declares the LORD.” Thus far is the judgment on Moab.	“Yet I will restore the fortunes of Moab in days to come,” declares the LORD. Here ends the judgment on Moab.
