Contextual Overview
1 About Moab, the Lord of All, the God of Israel, says, "It is bad for Nebo, for it has been destroyed. Kiriathaim has been put to shame and taken. The high, strong-place has been put to shame and crushed. 2 The praise for Moab has come to an end. In Heshbon they have planned trouble against her, saying, ‘Come, let us destroy her from being a nation!' You, O Madmen, will be made quiet also. The sword will follow you. 3 Listen, the sound of a cry from Horonaim, saying, ‘Laid waste and all destroyed!' 4 Moab is destroyed. The cry of her little ones is heard. 5 They go up the hill of Luhith crying all the time. For at the hill of Horonaim they have heard the troubled cry of those who are being destroyed. 6 Run fast! Run for your lives! You will be like a bush in the desert. 7 Because you have trusted in your own works and riches, you also will be taken. And Chemosh will go away to a strange land together with his religious leaders and important men. 8 The destroyer will come to every city. No city will be free from him. The valley and the plain will be destroyed also, as the Lord has said. 9 Give wings to Moab, for she will fly away. Her cities will become a waste, with no people living in them. 10 The one who does the Lord's work without care is cursed. Cursed is the one who keeps his sword from blood.
