28. “Leave the cities, and dwell in the rock,O inhabitants of Moab!Be like the dove that nestsin the sides of the mouth of a gorge.
29. 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.
30. I know his insolence, declares the Lord; his boasts are false,his deeds are false.
31. Therefore I wail for Moab;I cry out for all Moab;for the men of Kir-hareseth I mourn.
32. 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 grapesthe destroyer has fallen.
