The Lord’ s power will keep Mount Zion safe. But the people of Moab will be crushed in their land. They will be crushed just as straw is crushed in animal waste.

耶和华的手必按在这山上；摩押人在所居之地必被践踏，好像干草被践踏在粪池的水中。

耶和华的手必按住这山，摩押人要被践踏在他底下，好像干草被践踏在粪池里。

耶和华的手必按住这山，摩押人要被践踏在他底下，好像干草被践踏在粪池里。

耶和华必伸手保护这山，但摩押人必被践踏，像干草被践踏在粪池中。

耶和华的手必放在这山上；但摩押人在自己的地方必受践踏，好像干草在粪坑中被践踏一样。

耶和华的手必按在这山上；摩押必被践踏在自己的地方，好像干草被践踏在粪坑中——

耶和華的手必按在這山上；摩押人在所居之地必被踐踏，好像乾草被踐踏在糞池的水中。

耶和華的手必按住這山，摩押人要被踐踏在他底下，好像乾草被踐踏在糞池裏。

耶和華的手必放在這山上；但摩押人在自己的地方必受踐踏，好像乾草在糞坑中被踐踏一樣。

因為永恆主必按手在這山上；但摩押人在他們的地方必被踐踏，像乾草堆被踐踏於糞坑中一樣。

耶和華的手必按在這山上；摩押必被踐踏在自己的地方，好像乾草被踐踏在糞坑中——

耶和華將按手於此山、惟摩押遭蹂躪、若草芥被踐於糞池、

維此郇山、必蒙耶和華庇佑、摩押必遭蹂躪、若踐草芥於泥淖之中、

主之大能、必顯於此山、摩押必於其地而遭蹂躪、如踐草芥於糞池之中、

The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain; but Moab will be trampled in their land as straw is trampled down in the manure.

For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain, and Moab shall be trampled down in his place, as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.

For the Lord’s hand of blessing will rest on Jerusalem. But Moab will be crushed. It will be like straw trampled down and left to rot.

For the LORD’s power will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trampled in a dung pile.

For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain, And Moab will be trampled down in his place As straw is trampled down in the water of a manure pile.

For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest, And Moab shall be trampled down under Him, As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.

For in this mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.

For the Lord’s power will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trampled in a dung pile.

For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

For the LORD’s power will make this mountain secure. Moab will be trampled down where it stands, as a heap of straw is trampled down in a manure pile.

For Yahweh’s hand will rest in this mountain. Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill.

Moab will not be praised anymore. In Heshbon people will plan its fall from power. They will say,‘ Come. Let’s put an end to that nation.’ City of Madmen, you too will be silent. My sword will hunt you down.

So Moab will become like Sodom,” announces the Lord who rules over all.“ Ammon will be like Gomorrah. Weeds and salt pits will cover those countries. They will be dry and empty deserts forever. Those who are still left alive among my people will take all their valuable things. So they will receive those lands as their own. And that is just as sure as I am alive.” The Lord is the God of Israel.

On Mount Zion the Lord who rules over all will prepare a feast for all the nations. The best and richest foods and the finest aged wines will be served.

The Lord says,“ The people of Moab have sinned again and again. So I will judge them. They burned the bones of Edom’s king to ashes.So I will send fire to destroy Moab. It will burn up Kerioth’s forts. Moab will come crashing down with a loud noise. War cries will be heard. So will the blast of trumpets.I will kill Moab’s ruler. I will also kill all its officials,” says the Lord.

“ City of Zion, be full of joy! People of Jerusalem, shout! See, your king comes to you. He always does what is right. He has won the victory. He is humble and riding on a donkey. He is sitting on a donkey’s colt.I will take the chariots away from Ephraim. I will remove the war horses from Jerusalem. I will break the bows that are used in battle. Your king will announce peace to the nations. He will rule from ocean to ocean. His kingdom will reach from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.I will set your prisoners free from where their enemies are keeping them. I will do it because of the blood that put into effect my covenant with you.

So the Lord is angry with his people. He raises his hand against them and strikes them down. The mountains shake. The bodies of dead people lie in the streets like trash. Even then, the Lord is still angry. His hand is still raised against them.

At that time, here is what the man who is called the Root of Jesse will do. He will be like a banner that brings nations together. They will come to him. And the place where he rules will be glorious.

The Lord says to me,“ I will look down from heaven, where I live. I will be as quiet as summer heat in the sunshine. I will be as quiet as a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”

The Lord says,“ People of Zion, get up and crush your enemies. I will make you like a threshing ox. I will give you iron horns and bronze hooves. So you will crush many nations.” They got their money in the wrong way. But you will set it apart to the Lord. You will give their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.

The Lord has stopped punishing you. He has made your enemies turn away from you. The Lord is the King of Israel. He is with you. You will never again be afraid that others will harm you.The time is coming when people will say to Jerusalem,“ Zion, don’t be afraid. Don’t give up.The Lord your God is with you. He is the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you. In his love he will no longer punish you. Instead, he will sing for joy because of you.”

The feet of those who were treated badly stomp on them. Those who were poor walk all over them.”

The people of Madmenah are running away. Those who live in Gebim are hiding.

Sisera and Jabin died near the town of Endor. Their bodies were left on the ground like human waste.

Here is a prophecy against Moab that the Lord gave me. The city of Ar in Moab is destroyed. It happened in a single night. Kir in Moab is also destroyed. It happened in a single night.The people of Dibon go up to their temple to worship. They go to their high places to weep. The people of Moab cry over the cities of Nebo and Medeba. All their heads are shaved. All their beards have been cut off.In the streets they wear the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad. On their roofs and in the market places all of them are crying. They fall down flat with their faces toward the ground. And they weep.The people of Heshbon and Elealeh cry out. Their voices are heard all the way to Jahaz. So the fighting men of Moab cry out. Their hearts are weak.My heart cries out over Moab. Some who run away get as far as Zoar. Others run all the way to Eglath Shelishiyah. Others go up the hill to Luhith. They are weeping as they go. Still others travel the road to Horonaim. They sing a song of sadness because their town is being destroyed.The waters at Nimrim are dried up. And so is the grass. The plants have died. Nothing green is left.The people are trying to escape through the Valley of the Poplar Trees. They are carrying with them the wealth they have collected and stored up.Their loud cries echo along the border of Moab. They reach as far as Eglaim. Their songs of sadness reach all the way to Beer Elim.The waters of the city of Dimon are full of blood. But the Lord will bring even more trouble on Dimon. He will bring lions against those who run away from Moab. They will also attack those who remain in the land.

He says,“ I will make you into a threshing sled. It will be new and sharp. It will have many teeth. You will grind the mountains down and crush them. You will turn the hills into nothing but straw.You will toss them in the air. A strong wind will catch them and blow them away. You will be glad because I will make that happen. You will praise me. I am the Holy One of Israel.

“ I see him, but I don’t see him now. I view him, but he isn’t near. A star will come from among the people of Jacob. A king will rise up out of Israel. He’ll crush the foreheads of the people of Moab. He’ll crush the heads of all the people of Sheth.

But you have been thrown out of your tomb. You are like a branch that is cut off and thrown away. You are covered with the bodies of those who have been killed by swords. You have been tossed into a stony pit along with them. You are like a dead body that people have walked on.

The Lord has chosen Zion. That’s the place where he wants to live.He has said,“ This will be my resting place for ever and ever. Here I will sit on my throne, because that’s what I want.

Together they will rush down the slopes of Philistia to the west. They’ll take what belongs to the people of the east. They’ll take over Edom and Moab. The people of Ammon will be under their control.

I will send them against the ungodly nation of Judah. I will order them to fight against my own people. My people make me angry. I will order Assyria to take their goods and carry them away. I will order Assyria to walk on my people as if they were walking on mud.

“ The Lord has refused to accept any of my soldiers. He has sent for an army to crush my young men. I am like grapes in the Lord’s winepress. He has stomped on me, even though I am his very own.

People of Zion, give a loud shout! Sing for joy! The Holy One of Israel is among you. And he is great.”

“ The city will be six miles around.“ From that time on, its name will be‘ The Lord Is There.’ ”
