For all of them will shave their heads in mourning. They will all cut off their beards to show their sorrow. They will all make gashes in their hands. They will all put on sackcloth.
On all the housetops in Moab and in all its public squares there will be nothing but mourning. For I will break Moab like an unwanted jar. I, the LORD, affirm it!
Oh, how shattered Moab will be! Oh, how her people will wail! Oh, how she will turn away in shame! Moab will become an object of ridicule, a terrifying sight to all the nations that surround her.”
For the LORD says,“Look! Like an eagle with outspread wings a nation will swoop down on Moab.
Her towns will be captured. Her fortresses will be taken. At that time the soldiers of Moab will be frightened like a woman in labor.
Moab will be destroyed and no longer be a nation, because she has vaunted herself against the LORD.
Terror, pits, and traps are in store for the people who live in Moab. I, the LORD, affirm it!
