36. Therefore my heart for Moab as pipes doth sound, And my heart for men of Kir- Heres As pipes doth sound, Therefore the abundance he made did perish.
37. For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands cuttings, and on the loins--sackcloth.
38. On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it--[is] lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure, An affirmation of Jehovah.
39. How hath it been broken down! they have howled, How hath Moab turned the neck ashamed, And Moab hath been for a derision. And for a terror to all round about her.
40. For thus said Jehovah: Lo, as an eagle he doth flee, And hath spread his wings unto Moab.
41. Captured have been the cities, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Hath been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.
42. And Moab hath been destroyed from [being] a people, For against Jehovah he exerted himself.
43. Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [are] for thee, O inhabitant of Moab--an affirmation of Jehovah,
44. Whoso is fleeing because of the fear falleth into the snare, And whoso is coming up from the snare is captured by the gin, For I bring in unto her--unto Moab--The year of their inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah.
45. In the shadow of Heshbon stood powerless have fugitives, For fire hath gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumeth the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.
