3 I will kill the ruler of Moab and all the leaders of the land."

10 I brought you out of Egypt, led you through the desert for forty years, and gave you the land of the Amorites to be your own.

11 I chose some of your sons to be prophets and some of your young men to be nazirites. Isn't this true, people of Israel? I, the Lord, have spoken.

12 But you made the nazirites drink wine, and ordered the prophets not to speak my message.

13 And now I will crush you to the ground, and you will groan like a cart loaded with grain.

14 Not even fast runners will escape; strong men will lose their strength, and soldiers will not be able to save their own lives.

15 Archers will not stand their ground, fast runners will not get away, and men on horses will not escape with their lives.

16 On that day even the bravest soldiers will drop their weapons and run." The Lord has spoken.
