03:21.700 --> 03:22.980 Was he found among thieves? 03:23.900 --> 03:26.680 For since thou spakest of him, thou skippest for joy. 03:27.620 --> 03:32.180 O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the 03:32.180 --> 03:34.820 dove that maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth. 03:35.500 --> 03:37.240 We have heard the pride of Moab. 03:38.200 --> 03:42.520 He is exceeding proud, his loftiness and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the 03:42.520 --> 03:43.560 haughtiness of his heart. 03:44.380 --> 03:47.260 I know his wrath, saith the Lord, but it shall not be so. 03:48.080 --> 03:49.740 His lies shall not so affect it. 03:50.860 --> 03:53.960 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab. 03:54.860 --> 03:56.840 Mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kihiris. 03:57.500 --> 04:00.880 O vine of Sibma, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer. 04:01.740 --> 04:05.720 The plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer. 04:06.020 --> 04:09.240 The spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage. 04:10.120 --> 04:13.800 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of 04:13.800 --> 04:14.140 Moab. 04:14.680 --> 04:17.140 And I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses. 04:17.860 --> 04:21.020 None shall tread with shouting, the shouting shall be no shouting. 04:21.860 --> 04:27.300 From the cry of Heshbon, even unto Eliela, and even unto Jehaz, have they uttered 04:27.300 --> 04:27.760 their voice. 04:28.780 --> 04:33.220 From Zohar, even unto Uhuranaim, as an heifer of three years old. 04:33.740 --> 04:35.900 For the waters also of Nimrin shall be desolate. 04:36.620 --> 04:41.060 Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the 04:41.060 --> 04:44.380 high places, and him that burneth incense to his gods. 04:45.080 --> 04:48.800 Therefore mine heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound 04:48.800 --> 04:50.440 like pipes for the men of Kihiris. 04:51.120 --> 04:53.180 Because the riches that he hath gotten are perished. 04:53.800 --> 04:56.600 For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped. 04:57.320 --> 05:01.020 Upon all the hands shall be cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth. 05:01.620 --> 05:05.520 There shall be lamentation generally upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the 05:05.520 --> 05:06.300 streets thereof. 05:07.020 --> 05:10.920 For I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord. 05:11.560 --> 05:14.260 They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down? 05:14.700 --> 05:16.440 How hath Moab turned the back with shame? 05:17.220 --> 05:20.480 So shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him. 05:21.080 --> 05:22.020 For thus saith the Lord. 05:22.740 --> 05:26.920 Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab. 05:27.760 --> 05:32.120 Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in 05:32.120 --> 05:34.960 Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. 05:36.000 --> 05:40.000 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself 05:40.000 --> 05:41.280 against the Lord. 05:42.180 --> 05:46.140 Fear, and the pit, and the snare shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, 05:46.720 --> 05:47.340 saith the Lord. 05:47.960 --> 05:52.520 He that fleeth from the sphere shall fall into the pit, and he that getteth up out 05:52.520 --> 05:54.660 of the pit shall be taken in the snare. 05:55.220 --> 06:00.040 For I will bring upon it, even upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith the 06:00.040 --> 06:00.280 Lord. 06:00.840 --> 06:04.160 They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon, because of the force. 06:04.860 --> 06:08.220 But a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of 06:08.220 --> 06:12.240 Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the 06:12.240 --> 06:13.180 tumultuous ones. 06:14.240 --> 06:15.600 Woe be unto thee, O Moab! 06:15.880 --> 06:17.940 The people of Chemosh perisheth. 06:18.680 --> 06:21.940 For thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives. 06:22.740 --> 06:26.740 Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the Lord. 06:27.380 --> 06:29.700 Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
