28. O you who dwell in Moab,leave the cities and dwell in the rock,and be like the dove that makes her nestin the sides of the hole’s mouth.
29. We have heard of the pride of Moab(he is very proud),of his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride,and the haughtiness of his heart.
30. I know his wrath,says the Lord,but it is futile. His lies have accomplished nothing.
31. Therefore I will howl for Moab,and I will cry out for all Moab.My heart shall mourn for the men of Kir Hareseth.
32. O vine of Sibmah,I will weep for you more than the weeping of Jazer.Your plants have stretched over the sea,they reach even to the sea of Jazer.The destroyer has fallen upon your summer fruitsand upon your vintage.
