Amos 2:1-3
The LORD says: I will not relent from punishing Moab for three crimes, even four, because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.Therefore, I will send fire against Moab, and it will consume the citadels of Kerioth. Moab will die with a tumult, with shouting and the sound of the ram’s horn.I will cut off the judge from the land and kill all its officials with him. The LORD has spoken.

Ezekiel 25:8-11
“‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: Because Moab and Seir said,“ Look, the house of Judah is like all the other nations.”Therefore I am about to expose Moab’s flank beginning with its frontier cities, the splendor of the land: Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim.I will give it along with Ammon to the people of the east as a possession, so that Ammon will not be remembered among the nations.So I will execute judgments against Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD.

Jeremiah 48:1-47
About Moab, this is what the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: Woe to Nebo, because it is about to be destroyed; Kiriathaim will be put to shame; it will be taken captive. The fortress will be put to shame and dismayed!There is no longer praise for Moab; they plan harm against her in Heshbon: Come, let’s cut her off from nationhood. Also, Madmen, you will be silenced; the sword will follow you.A voice cries out from Horonaim,“ devastation and a crushing blow!”Moab will be shattered; her little ones will cry out.For on the Ascent to Luhith they will be weeping continually, and on the descent to Horonaim will be heard cries of distress over the destruction:Flee! Save your lives! Be like a juniper bush in the wilderness.Because you trust in your works and treasures, you will be captured also. Chemosh will go into exile with his priests and officials.The destroyer will move against every town; not one town will escape. The valley will perish, and the plain will be annihilated, as the LORD has said.Make Moab a salt marsh, for she will run away; her towns will become a desolation, without inhabitant.The one who does the LORD’s business deceitfully is cursed, and the one who withholds his sword from bloodshed is cursed.Moab has been left quiet since his youth, settled like wine on its dregs. He hasn’t been poured from one container to another or gone into exile. So his taste has remained the same, and his aroma hasn’t changed.Therefore look, the days are coming— this is the LORD’s declaration— when I will send pourers to him, who will pour him out. They will empty his containers and smash his jars.Moab will be put to shame because of Chemosh, just as the house of Israel was put to shame because of Bethel that they trusted in.How can you say,“ We are warriors— valiant men for battle”?The destroyer of Moab and its towns has come up, and the best of its young men have gone down to slaughter. This is the King’s declaration; the LORD of Armies is his name.Moab’s calamity is near at hand; his disaster is rushing swiftly.Mourn for him, all you surrounding nations, everyone who knows his name. Say,“ How the mighty scepter is shattered, the glorious staff!”Come down from glory; sit on parched ground, resident of the daughter of Dibon, for the destroyer of Moab has come against you; he has destroyed your fortresses.Stand by the highway and watch, resident of Aroer! Ask him who is fleeing or her who is escaping,“ What happened?”Moab is put to shame, indeed dismayed. Wail and cry out! Declare by the Arnon that Moab is destroyed.“ Judgment has come to the land of the plateau— to Holon, Jahzah, Mephaath,Dibon, Nebo, Beth-diblathaim,Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, Beth-meon,Kerioth, Bozrah, and all the towns of the land of Moab, those far and near.Moab’s horn is chopped off; his arm is shattered.” This is the LORD’s declaration.“ 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.Wasn’t Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.”Abandon the towns! Live in the cliffs, residents of Moab! Be like a dove that nests inside the mouth of a cave.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.Therefore, I will wail over Moab. I will cry out for Moab, all of it; he will moan for the men of Kir-heres.I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah, with more than the weeping for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea; they have reached to the sea and to Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruit and grape harvest.Gladness and celebration are taken from the fertile field and from the land of Moab. I have stopped the flow of wine from the winepresses; no one will tread with shouts of joy. The shouting is not a shout of joy.“ There is a cry from Heshbon to Elealeh; they make their voices heard as far as Jahaz— from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah— because even the Waters of Nimrim have become desolate.In Moab, I will stop”— this is the LORD’s declaration—“ the one who offers sacrifices on the high place and burns incense to his gods.Therefore, my heart moans like flutes for Moab, and my heart moans like flutes for the people of Kir-heres. And therefore, the wealth he has gained has perished.Indeed, every head is bald and every beard is chopped short. On every hand is a gash and sackcloth around the waist.On all the rooftops of Moab and in her public squares, everyone is mourning because I have shattered Moab like a jar no one wants.” This is the LORD’s declaration.“ How broken it is! They wail! How Moab has turned his back! He is ashamed. Moab will become a laughingstock and a shock to all those around him.”For this is what the LORD says: Look! He will swoop down like an eagle and spread his wings against Moab.The towns have been captured, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman with contractions.Moab will be destroyed as a people because he has exalted himself against the LORD.Panic, pit, and trap await you, resident of Moab. This is the LORD’s declaration.He who flees from the panic will fall in the pit, and he who climbs from the pit will be captured in the trap, for I will bring against Moab the year of their punishment. This is the LORD’s declaration.Those who flee will stand exhausted in Heshbon’s shadow because fire has come out from Heshbon and a flame from within Sihon. It will devour Moab’s forehead and the skull of the noisemakers.Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished because your sons have been taken captive and your daughters have gone into captivity.Yet, I will restore the fortunes of Moab in the last days. This is the LORD’s declaration. The judgment on Moab ends here.

Zephaniah 2:8-11
I have heard the taunting of Moab and the insults of the Ammonites, who have taunted my people and threatened their territory.Therefore, as I live— this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies, 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 Armies.The LORD will be terrifying to them when he starves all the gods of the earth. Then all the distant coasts and islands of the nations will bow in worship to him, each in its own place.
