## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
[[#Verse 01.]] Send rams as tribute to the ruler of the land,
from Sela in the wilderness
to the hill of Daughter Zion.
[[#Verse 02.]]Â At the fords of the Arnon
the Moabite women are like a bird
that flies about when forced from its nest.
[[#Verse 03.]] “Bring a plan, make a decision.
Provide some shade in the middle of the day.
Hide the fugitives! Do not betray the one who tries to escape.
[[#Verse 04.]] Please let the Moabite fugitives live among you.
Hide them from the destroyer!”
Certainly the one who applies pressure will cease;
the destroyer will come to an end;
those who trample will disappear from the earth.
[[#Verse 05.]]Â Then a trustworthy king will be established;
he will rule in a reliable manner,
this one from David’s family.
He will be sure to make just decisions
and will be experienced in executing justice.
[[#Verse 06.]] We have heard about Moab’s pride—
their great arrogance—
their boasting, pride, and excess.
But their boastful claims are empty.
[[#Verse 07.]] So Moab wails over its demise—
they all wail!
Completely devastated, they moan
about what has happened to the raisin cakes of Kir Hareseth.
[[#Verse 08.]]Â For the fields of Heshbon are dried up,
as well as the vines of Sibmah.
The rulers of the nations trample all over its vines,
which reach Jazer and spread to the wilderness;
their shoots spread out and cross the sea.
[[#Verse 09.]]Â So I weep along with Jazer
over the vines of Sibmah.
I will saturate you with my tears, Heshbon and Elealeh,
for the conquering invaders shout triumphantly
over your fruit and crops.
[[#Verse 10.]]Â Joy and happiness disappear from the orchards,
and in the vineyards no one rejoices or shouts;
no one treads out juice in the wine vats—
I have brought the joyful shouts to an end.
[[#Verse 11.]]Â So my heart constantly sighs for Moab, like the strumming of a harp,
my inner being sighs for Kir Hareseth.
[[#Verse 12.]]Â When the Moabites plead with all their might at their high places,
and enter their temples to pray, their prayers will be ineffective.
[[#Verse 13.]] This is the message the Lord previously announced about Moab.Â
[[#Verse 14.]] Now the Lord makes this announcement: “Within exactly three years Moab’s splendor will disappear, along with all her many people; there will be only a few insignificant survivors left.”
