The
oracle concerning
Moab.
Surely in a
night Ar of
Moab is
devastated and
ruined;
Surely in a
night Kir of
Moab is
devastated and
ruined.

They have
gone up to the
temple and to
Dibon, even to the
high places to
weep.
Moab wails over Nebo and
Medeba;
Everyone's head is
bald and
every beard is
cut off.

In their
streets they have
girded themselves with
sackcloth; On their
housetops and in their
squares Everyone is
wailing,
dissolved in
tears.

Heshbon and
Elealeh also
cry out, Their
voice is
heard all the
way to
Jahaz;
Therefore * the
armed men of
Moab cry aloud; His
soul trembles within him.

My
heart cries out for
Moab; His
fugitives are as
far as
Zoar and
Eglath-shelishiyah *, For they
go up the
ascent of
Luhith weeping;
Surely on the
road to
Horonaim they
raise a
cry of
distress over their
ruin.

For the
waters of
Nimrim are
desolate.
Surely the
grass is
withered, the
tender grass died out, There is
no green thing.

Therefore * the

acquired and
stored up They
carry off
over the
brook of
Arabim.

For the
cry of
distress has
gone around the
territory of
Moab, Its
wail goes as
far as
Eglaim and its
wailing even to
Beer-elim.

For the
waters of
Dimon are
full of
blood;
Surely I will
bring added woes upon
Dimon, A
lion upon the
fugitives of
Moab and upon the
remnant of the
land.
