2 Moab can boast no more of Heshbon, for they have devised against it. 'Come,' shall they say, 'let us root them out, that they may be no more among the number of the Gentiles; yea, that they may no more be thought upon.' Thus the sword shall persecute thee:
2 There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
2 “There is praise for Moab no longer;In (D)Heshbon they have devised calamity against her:‘Come and let us cut her off from being a nation!’You too, (b)Madmen, will be silenced;The sword will follow after you.
