¹ Send the lamb to the ruler of the land, from Sela by the desert, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion,

² for soon, like a fluttered bird, like nestlings cast out, will be the women of Moab at the fords of the Arnon.

⁴ let those who have been driven out of Moab come and live with you; be their refuge in the face of the devastator. Once the oppression is past, and the devastation has stopped and those now trampling on the country have gone away,

⁵ the throne will be made secure in faithful love and on it will sit in constancy within the tent of David, a judge seeking fair judgement and pursuing uprightness.

⁶ We have heard about Moab's pride, about how very proud it is, about its arrogance, its pride, its rage, its bravado, which will come to nothing!

⁷ And so Moab is wailing for Moab, wailing, every one of them. For the raisin cakes of Kir-Hareseth you mourn, stricken with grief.

⁹ And so I weep, as Jazer weeps, for the vine of Sibmah. I water you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh. For over your harvest and vintage the cheering has died away;

¹⁰ joy and gladness have vanished from the orchards. No more revelry in the vineyards, no more happy shouting; no more the treader treads wine in the presses, the cheering has ceased.

¹¹ That is why my whole being quivers like harp strings for Moab, my very heart, for Kir-Heres.

¹² Moab will be seen, wearing itself out on the high places and going to its temple to pray, but it will accomplish nothing.

¹³ Such was the word which Yahweh spoke about Moab in the past.

¹⁴ And now Yahweh has spoken in these terms, 'Within three years, as a hired worker reckons them, the glory of Moab will be humbled, despite its teeming population. It will be reduced to nothing, an insignificant remnant.'
