NEW AMERICAN BIBLEDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 O LORD, you are my God, I will extol you and praise your name; For you have fulfilled your wonderful plans of old, faithful and true.1 For the hand of the Lord shall rest in this mountain: and Moab shall be trodden down under him, as straw is broken in pieces with the wain.
2 For you have made the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin; The castle of the insolent is a city no more, nor ever to be rebuilt.2 dummy verses inserted by amos
3 Therefore a strong people will honor you, fierce nations will fear you.3 dummy verses inserted by amos
4 For you are a refuge to the poor, a refuge to the needy in distress; Shelter from the rain, shade from the heat. As with the cold rain,4 dummy verses inserted by amos
5 as with the desert heat, even so you quell the uproar of the wanton.5 dummy verses inserted by amos
6 On this mountain the LORD of hosts will provide for all peoples A feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.6 dummy verses inserted by amos
7 On this mountain he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, The web that is woven over all nations;7 dummy verses inserted by amos
8 he will destroy death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces; The reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken.8 dummy verses inserted by amos
9 On that day it will be said: "Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the LORD for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!"9 dummy verses inserted by amos
10 For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain, but Moab will be trodden down as a straw is trodden down in the mire.10 dummy verses inserted by amos
11 He will stretch forth his hands in Moab as a swimmer extends his hands to swim; He will bring low their pride as his hands sweep over them.11 And he shall stretch forth his hands under him, as he that swimmeth stretcheth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down his glory with the dashing of his hands.
12 The high-walled fortress he will raze, and strike it down level with the earth, with the very dust.12 And the bulwarks of thy high walls shall fall, and be brought low, and shall be pulled down to the ground, even to the dust.
