29 “We have heard of Moab’s pride—

how great is her arrogance!—

of her insolence, her pride, her conceit

and the haughtiness of her heart.

30 I know her insolence but it is futile,”

declares the Lord,

“and her boasts accomplish nothing.

31 Therefore I wail over Moab,

for all Moab I cry out,

I moan for the people of Kir Hareseth.

29 We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) His loftiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart. 30 I know his wrath, saith the Lord; but it shall not be so; His lies shall not so effect it. 31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, And I will cry out for all Moab; Mine heart shall mourn for the men of Kir-heres.

29 We have all heard of the pride of Moab,

for his pride is very great.

We know of his lofty pride,

his arrogance, and his haughty heart.

30 I know about his insolence,”

says the Lord,

“but his boasts are empty—

as empty as his deeds.

31 So now I wail for Moab;

yes, I will mourn for Moab.

My heart is broken for the men of Kir-hareseth.

29 “We have heard the pride of Moab

(He is exceedingly proud),

Of his loftiness and arrogance and pride,

And of the haughtiness of his heart.”

30 “I know his wrath,” says the Lord,

“But it is not right;

His lies have made nothing right.

31 Therefore I will wail for Moab,

And I will cry out for all Moab;

I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.

29 “We have heard that the people of Moab are proud,

very proud.

They are proud, very proud,

and in their hearts they think they are important.”

30 The Lord says,

“I know Moab’s great pride, but it is useless.

Moab’s bragging accomplishes nothing.

31 So I cry sadly for Moab,

for everyone in Moab.

I moan for the people from the town of Kir Hareseth.

29 We have heard of the pride of Moab, that he is very proud; his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogancy, and the haughtiness of his heart. 30 I know his wrath, saith Jehovah, that it is nought; his boastings have wrought nothing. 31 Therefore will I wail for Moab; yea, I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall they mourn.

29 We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, —he is very proud; —his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart. 30 I know his wrath, saith Jehovah; his pratings are vain: they do not as they say. 31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall there be moaning.

29 “We have heard about the arrogance of Moab’s people. 

They are very arrogant. 

They are very arrogant, conceited, and boastful. 

30 I know how arrogant they are,” declares the Lord, 

“but it isn’t right. 

They brag and don’t do what they say. 

31 That is why I will weep for Moab and cry for all of Moab. 

I will moan for the people of Kir Hareseth. 

29 We have heard of Moab’s pride,

great pride, indeed—

his insolence, arrogance, pride,

and haughty heart.

30 I know his outburst.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

It is empty.

His boast is empty.

31 Therefore, I will wail over Moab.

I will cry out for Moab, all of it;

he will moan for the men of Kir-heres.

29 We have heard of the pride of Moab—

he is very proud—

of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance,

and the haughtiness of his heart.

30 I myself know his insolence, says the Lord;

his boasts are false,

his deeds are false.

31 Therefore I wail for Moab;

I cry out for all Moab;

for the people of Kir-heres I mourn.

29 We have heard of the pride of Moab

—he is very proud—

his height, and his pride, and his arrogance,

and the haughtiness of his heart.

30 I know his insolence,” declares Yahweh,

“and his boastings are false;

they act falsely.

31 Therefore over Moab I wail,

and for all of Moab I cry out,

for the people of Kir-heres I moan.

29 “We have heard all about Moab’s pride.

We have heard how very proud they are.

They think they are so much better than others.

Their pride reaches deep down inside their hearts.

30 I know how rude they are.

But it will not get them anywhere,”

announces the Lord.

“Their bragging does not accomplish anything.

31 So I cry out over Moab.

I cry for all of Moab’s people.

I groan for the men of Kir Hareseth.

29 “We have heard of the pride of Moab—he is very proud—

Of his haughtiness, his pride, his arrogance and his self-exaltation.

30 “I know his fury,” declares the Lord,

“But it is futile;

His idle boasts have accomplished nothing.

31 “Therefore I will wail for Moab,

Even for all Moab will I cry out;

I will moan for the men of Kir-heres.
