I know his insolence, says the Lord; his boasts are false, his deeds are false.
The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to naught; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
For not from the east or from the west and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;
No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel, can avail against the Lord.
We have heard of the pride of Moab, how proud he was; of his arrogance, his pride, and his insolence— his boasts are false.
A sword upon the diviners, that they may become fools! A sword upon her warriors, that they may be destroyed!
