¹⁴ Then Yahweh said to me, Out of the north evil shall break forth on all the inhabitants of the land.

⁶ Wail; for the day of Yahweh is at hand; as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

²⁶ Her gates shall lament and mourn; And she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.

⁷ Therefore shall Moab wail for Moab, everyone shall wail: for the raisin-cakes of Kir Hareseth shall you mourn, utterly stricken.

¹² In the city is left desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.

¹⁶ They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

¹⁸ [to wit], Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings of it, and the princes of it, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;

¹⁹ Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;

²⁰ and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
