10 The Lord’s power will keep Mount Zion safe.
    But the people of Moab will be crushed in their land.
They will be crushed just as straw is crushed in animal waste.
11 They will try to swim their way out of it.
    They will spread out their hands in it,
    just as swimmers spread out their hands to swim.
But God will bring down Moab’s pride.
    None of their skill will help them.
12 He will pull down their high, strong walls.
    He will bring them down to the ground.
    He’ll bring them right down to the dust.

    as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will stretch out their hands in it,
    as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim.
God will bring down(C) their pride(D)
    despite the cleverness[a] of their hands.

    and lay them low;(F)
he will bring them down to the ground,
    to the very dust.
