But now he says,“ In exactly three years, people will look down on Moab’s glory. Now Moab has many people. But by that time only a few of them will be left alive. And even they will be weak.”

但现在耶和华说：“三年之内，照雇工的年数，摩押的荣耀与他的群众必被藐视，余剩的人甚少无几。”

但现在，耶和华说：“三年之内，按照雇工年数的算法，摩押的荣华必变为羞辱，人口虽曾众多，剩余的又少又弱。”

但现在，耶和华说：“三年之内，按照雇工年数的算法，摩押的荣华必变为羞辱，人口虽曾众多，剩余的又少又弱。”

现在，耶和华说：“正如一个雇工的工作年限是三年，摩押的荣耀也必在三年之内消失，那里的人民必遭藐视，残存的人必寥寥无几、软弱无力。”

但现在耶和华宣告说：“三年之内，按照雇工的年数，摩押的荣耀和他所有的群众，都必被藐视；余下的人必稀少，微不足道。”

现在耶和华宣告说：“三个雇工年之内，摩押的荣耀连同它所有的民众都必被蔑视；它的余剩者必寥寥无几、软弱无力。”

但現在耶和華說：「三年之內，照雇工的年數，摩押的榮耀與他的羣眾必被藐視，餘剩的人甚少無幾。」

現在，耶和華說：「正如一個雇工的工作年限是三年，摩押的榮耀也必在三年之內消失，那裡的人民必遭藐視，殘存的人必寥寥無幾、軟弱無力。」

但現在耶和華宣告說：“三年之內，按照雇工的年數，摩押的榮耀和他所有的群眾，都必被藐視；餘下的人必稀少，微不足道。”

但現在永恆主又宣佈說：『三年之內，照雇工年數的算法、摩押的威榮、連同他所有的民眾，都必被侮辱，其餘民必稀少、寥寥無幾。』

現在耶和華宣告說：「三個雇工年之內，摩押的榮耀連同它所有的民眾都必被蔑視；它的餘剩者必寥寥無幾、軟弱無力。」

今則曰、三年之內、若傭人之年、摩押之榮、及其眾庶、必見凌辱、所遺無幾、不足算也、

今益其詞曰、三年之內、若傭之定期、摩押人之榮、將變為辱、實繁有徒、所存無幾、遺民荏弱。

今主復云、三年之內、若傭工之定期、摩押之榮、必變為辱、群眾必衰、所存甚寡、荏弱無力、

But now the Lord says:“ Within three years, as a servant bound by contract would count them, Moab’s splendor and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble.”

But now the Lord has spoken, saying,“ In three years, like the years of a hired worker, the glory of Moab will be brought into contempt, in spite of all his great multitude, and those who remain will be very few and feeble.”

But now the Lord says,“ Within three years, counting each day, the glory of Moab will be ended. From its great population, only a feeble few will be left alive.”

And now the LORD says,“ In three years, as a hired worker counts years, Moab’s splendor will become an object of contempt, in spite of a very large population. And those who are left will be few and weak.”

But now the Lord has spoken, saying,“ Within three years, as a hired worker would count them, the glory of Moab will become contemptible along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and impotent.”

But now the Lord has spoken, saying,“ Within three years, as the years of a hired man, the glory of Moab will be despised with all that great multitude, and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”

But now Jehovah hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant shall be very small and of no account.

And now the Lord says,“ In three years, as a hired worker counts years, Moab’s splendor will become an object of contempt, in spite of a very large population. And those who are left will be few and weak.”

But now the LORD hath spoken, saying, Within three years, as the years of an hireling, and the glory of Moab shall be contemned, with all that great multitude; and the remnant[ shall be] very small[ and] feeble.

Now the LORD makes this announcement:“ Within exactly three years Moab’s splendor will disappear, along with all her many people; there will be just a few, insignificant survivors left.”

But now Yahweh has spoken, saying,“ Within three years, as a worker bound by contract would count them, the glory of Moab shall be brought into contempt, with all his great multitude; and the remnant will be very small and feeble.”

The Lord spoke to me. He said,“ In exactly one year, Kedar’s splendor will come to an end.

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.

How terrible it will be for you, Moab! Those who worship Chemosh are destroyed. Your sons are being taken to another country. Your daughters are taken away as prisoners.“ But in days to come I will bless Moab with great success again,” announces the Lord. This ends the report about how the Lord would judge Moab.

Moab will be destroyed as a nation. That is because its people thought they were better than the Lord.

“ In days to come, the glory of Jacob’s people will fade. Their strength will get weaker and weaker.

The Lord who rules over all planned to do it. He wanted to bring down all its pride and glory. He wanted to shame those who were honored all over the earth.

He bragged to them about how rich he was. He talked about how many sons he had. He spoke about all the ways the king had honored him. He bragged about how the king had given him a high position. It was higher than the position of any of the other nobles and officials.

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.

“ Steal the silver!” the attackers shout.“ Grab the gold!” The supply is endless. There is plenty of wealth among all the city’s treasures.Nineveh is destroyed, robbed and stripped! Hearts melt away in fear. Knees give way. Bodies tremble with fear. Everyone’s face turns pale.

Instead, open your hands and lend them what they need. Do it freely.

Jacob heard what Laban’s sons were saying.“ Jacob has taken everything our father owned,” they said.“ He has gained all this wealth from what belonged to our father.”

Even before then, the lands of the two kings you fear will be ruined.

The Lord says,“ Do not let wise people brag about how wise they are. Do not let strong people boast about how strong they are. Do not let rich people brag about how rich they are.
