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.

The verse 2 is found in chapter 48 of Jeremiah. Moab is condemned for its pride, confidence in wealth, and territorial security. The repeated language of mourning and destruction reveals a nation that will be humiliated after considering itself invulnerable. Judgment reaches cities, fortresses, and religious symbols, showing that no cultural structure can protect against the divine sentence.

Der Trotz Moabs ist aus, den sie an Hesbon hatten; denn man gedenkt Böses wider sie: "Kommt, wir wollen sie ausrotten, daß sie kein Volk mehr seien." Und du, Madmen, mußt auch verderbt werden; das Schwert wird hinter dich kommen.
No se alabará ya más Moab; contra Hesbón maquinaron mal, diciendo: Venid, y quitémosla de entre las gentes. También tú, Madmén, serás cortada, espada irá tras ti.
Ya no hay alabanza para Moab. En Hesbón han tramado su desgracia: “Vengan, acabemos con ella como nación”. También tú, Madmena, serás silenciada; la espada te perseguirá.
Elle n'est plus, la gloire de Moab; A Hesbon, on médite sa perte: Allons, exterminons-le du milieu des nations! Toi aussi, Madmen, tu seras détruite; L'épée marche derrière toi.
Non vi è più vanto per Moab in Hesbon; è stato macchinato contro a quella del male, dicendo: Venite, e distruggiamola, che non sia più nazione; anche tu, Madmen, perirai; la spada ti perseguiterà.
A glória de Moabe já não existe mais; em Hesbom tramaram mal contra ela, dizendo: Vinde, e exterminemo-la, para que não seja mais nação; também tu, ó Madmém, serás silenciada; a espada te perseguirá.
摩押 不再被稱讚。 有人在 希實本 設計謀害它: 「來吧!我們將它剪除,使它不再成國。」 瑪得緬 哪,你也必靜默無聲; 刀劍必追趕你。
