Human pride will be humbled, and the loftiness of men will be brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted on that day.

"Make him drunk, because he has exalted himself against the LORD. Moab will wallow in his own vomit, and he will also become a laughingstock.

We have heard of Moab's pride, great pride, indeed-- his insolence, arrogance, pride, and haughty heart.

I know his outburst. [This is] the LORD's declaration. It is empty. His boast is empty.

Moab will be destroyed as a people because he has exalted himself against the LORD.

The LORD says: I will not relent from punishing Moab for three crimes, even four, because he burned to lime the bones of the king of Edom.

Your presumptuous heart has deceived you, you who live in clefts of the rock in your home on the heights, who say to yourself: Who can bring me down to the ground?

Though you seem to soar like an eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down. [This is] the LORD's declaration.

Therefore, as I live-- the declaration of the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel-- Moab will be like Sodom and the Ammonites like Gomorrah-- a place overgrown with weeds, a salt pit, and a perpetual wasteland. The remnant of My people will plunder them; the remainder of My nation will dispossess them.

This is what they get for their pride, because they have taunted and acted arrogantly against the people of the LORD of Hosts.

Likewise, you younger men, be subject to the elders. And all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

For you said, "We have cut a deal with Death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol; when the overwhelming scourge passes through, it will not touch us, because we have made falsehood our refuge and have hidden behind treachery."

Your deal with Death will be dissolved, and your agreement with Sheol will not last. When the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be trampled.

who destroys the omens of the false prophets and makes fools of diviners; who confounds the wise and makes their knowledge foolishness;

A sword is against the diviners, and they will act foolishly. A sword is against her heroic warriors, and they will be terrified.
