1 Concerning Moab (of his father), this is what the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts, the God {Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God), says: “Woe to Nebo (prophet), for it will be devastated. Kiriathaim (two cities) will be captured and disgraced; the fortress (height) will be shattered and dismantled. 2 There is no longer praise for Moab (of his father); in Heshbon (Heshbon) they devise evil against her: ‘Come, let us cut her off from nationhood (nations).’ You too, O people of Madmen (Madmen), will be silenced; the sword will pursue you. 3 A voice cries out from Horonaim (two caves): ‘Devastation and great destruction!’ 4 Moab (of his father) will be shattered; her little ones will cry out [her cries are heard as far away as Zoar]. 5 For on the ascent to Luhith (tablets) they weep bitterly as they go, and on the descent to Horonaim (two caves) cries of distress resound over the destruction: Jeremiah 48:1-5, Berean Annotated Bible.
