29We have heard of the pride of Moab—he is very proud— Of his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance, and his self-exaltation.
30I know his fury,' declares the Lord, 'But it is futile; His idle boasts have accomplished nothing.
31Therefore I will wail for Moab, For all of Moab I will cry out; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
