21And judgment has come upon the land of the plateau—upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath—

22and against Dibon, and against Nebo, and against Beth-diblathaim—

23and against Kiriathaim, and against Beth-gamul, and against Beth-meon—

24and against Kerioth, and against Bozrah, and against all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.

25The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, declares Yahweh.

26Make him drunk, because he has magnified himself against Yahweh; and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he too shall become a laughingstock.

27Was Israel not a laughingstock to you? Was he found among thieves, that whenever you spoke of him, you shook your head?

28Leave the cities and dwell in the rock, inhabitants of Moab, and be like a dove that nests on the sides of the mouth of a pit.
