Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for {\b God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.}
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth {\i his hands} to swim; but {\i Jehovah} will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands.
The burden of Moab.\par\tab For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste, {\i and} brought to nought; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, {\i and} brought to nought.
For in this mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dung-hill.
